How do the decissant dehumidifiers operate?
Desiccant dehumidifiers use an absorbent material, usually Zeolite, that soaks up water vapour from the air, just like silica gel. The desiccant material is located in the wheel, that slowly rotates. The fan draws the air through that wheel, and the air dries. Moisture is extracted from the desiccant by heating a portion of the wheel not being used to dry the air. This transforms the water back into vapour, which is then passed over a cold plate to cool the mixture and cause the water to condense.
Desiccant dehumidifiers will work best in temperatures from 1℃ up to 40℃. They are also very practical and efficient with a very high capacity for water extraction.
How do compressor dehumidifiers operate?
Compressor dehumidifiers work best at higher temperatures, starting from 15℃. Note that tests are made in the temperature of about 30℃ and humidity level of 80%.
The performance of such dehumidifier tends to depend on environmental conditions, which is referred to as sensible capacity. Note that in the real working environment, the sensible performance of a compressor dehumidifier will be lower, that in the test environment.
What is the difference between the compressor and decissant boat dehumidifier?
The compressor dehumidifier works best at 15℃ or higher. The desiccant dehumidifier, on the other hand, can work at temperatures as low as 1℃. In case you plan to leave the boat dehumidifier without supervision for an extended period during winter, the desiccant dehumidifier is ideal for you. Ensure the dehumidifier has the automatic restart feature, in case the electricity is unstable.
What are the important features to look for in a boat dehumidifier?
The crucial features are the humidistat, automatic reset and a cut off switch. The automatic reset will turn the dehumidifier on when the power source comes back. The humidistat will make sure that your dehumidifier is working on an optimal level, and will turn off as soon as the humidity reaches the pre-set level. The cut-off switch will stop the operation of the dehumidifier, as soon as the water tank is full. There is also a light indicator of such an event that will turn on.

I'm so glad I chose this dehumidifier. I use it inside my camping van and I have no trouble getting it in. Its light and doesn't take up much space. Plus I use it in my kitchen to soak up the steam. Perfect every time.

One of the garages I own had a roof that's leaking water all over the place. Before I could fix the roof though I needed to fix the mold problem, so I tried this unit. It worked great and I can have some peace of mind now that my bike is safe. I'd recommend this model for anyone who's having similar problems.

Our house is more than humid and this unit helped us a lot. It keeps the moisture at bay at around 45% , and you can actually smell the difference too. The musty smell is gone and the place feels much dryer and cozier now.

My house is really old and the stone basement tends to accumulate a lot of humidity. Plus there are heavy rains and snow melt leaving their trace in my basement. This unit took the obsene 91% humidity level down to 45% in about a month. It is now comfortable enough to be in, plus all of are stored belongings are safe.

Be careful not to use the plug, unless the drainage is done with a hose. You might not be able to get all the water out and it can leak if you don't dry the hole before attempting to plug it again.
