As someone who lives in the Gulf Coast area, any amount of moisture sucked out of the air is welcome. Take it all! There's an infinite amount of humidity around here. :-)
- hn_throwaway_99 3y agoBut the AC unit then adds all the moisture back in for evaporative cooling.
- jjoonathan 3y agoNo, it doesn't dehumidify your house. That's where the efficiency comes from. Cooling and dehumidification usually come together, but this lets you have cooling without dehumidification which is more efficient. No comment on desirability.
- macintux 3y agoOoh, that's interesting. I hate AC because of the dehumidification.
- rainbowzootsuit 3y agoI suggest that you raise the blower speed to raise the evaporator temperature away from the saturation/ dew point temperature of water and you will have your desired outcome.
- analyte123 3y agoIt does dehumidify the air, perhaps even configurably: https://bluefrontierac.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/BF_LD-DOAS.pdf https://bluefrontierac.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/BF_LD-...
- bob1029 3y ago> As someone who lives in the Gulf Coast area Same. I made a similar comment but deleted when I saw yours. I've got a half-ton central dehumidifier that has to run 24/7 basically all year. If I could just flow my HVAC over some desiccant instead... I am all ears on this one.
