Do you have some sort of citation for that?
Because a dehumidifier is pretty much an air conditioner that doesn't make the room cooler from a mechanical perspective, so the premise that there's a wide gap in efficiency, or that the unit which blows it's heat indoors is the more effective one, seems unlikely to me.
- olivermarks 7y agoI was interested in off grid and RV vehicle AC solar, this video pretty much sums up how and where we are today on that. https://youtu.be/B0rZY5uotKI https://youtu.be/B0rZY5uotKI Others recommend dehumidifiers as a compromise which uses less power, you can find this in multiple discussions in relevant forums
- undersuit 7y agoI guess running dehumidifiers allows the human body to cool itself when exposed to the environment referenced in the article. While comfort from an air-conditioned room would still be nice I'll take mild discomfort over hyperthermia any day.
