You may notice on the nutritional labels of the foods you buy that the percent daily values are based on a 2,000 calorie diet -- 2,000 calories is a rough average of what people eat in a day. But your body might need more or less than 2,000. Height, weight, gender, age and activity level all affect your caloric needs.
How a dehumidifier works. Dehumidifiers work in one of two waysâby refrigeration (cooling air to remove moisture using similar technology to a refrigerator) or by absorption/adsorption (where moisture is absorbed into or adsorbed onto a drying material and then removed). We'll look at each of these in turn.
A dehumidifier running in the basement removes moisture from the air, allowing the damp floor, be it cement or soil, to dry out more quickly. Humid air slows down the process of evaporation. The more humid the air, the more damp the basement floors and walls remain.
