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.
How Basement Dehumidifiers Work. Basements can be extremely high humidity rooms, leading to mold and mildew growth, as well as the ever present damp basement smell. Humidifiers work to remove the humidity from the air and, in so doing, decrease the likelihood of your basement posing a health risk. Additionally, the higher the humidity in the air, the higher the perceived temperature. In this way, a basement dehumidifier can help to reduce the load on your air conditioner.
