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.
Your dehumidifier does pretty much the same thing. Most dehumidifiers can be broken down into five component parts: 1  Fan Compressor -- This compresses and expands a refrigerant gas like freon to cool the dehumidifier's coils. ( 2 See How Air Conditioners Work for a more detailed explanation of this cycle.).
