How the Dri-Eaz DrizAir 1200 Dehumidifier Works
The Dri-Eaz DrizAir 1200 operates by drawing moist air through a refrigerated evaporator coil, condensing moisture into water, and circulating dry air back into the environment, effectively reducing humidity․
Operating Principles
The Dri-Eaz DrizAir 1200 dehumidifier operates by drawing moist air through a refrigerated evaporator coil, where water vapor condenses into liquid․ This process effectively removes humidity from the air․ The unit then circulates dry air back into the environment, creating a drier space․ Designed for efficiency and reliability, the DrizAir 1200 is well-suited for water damage restoration, construction sites, and other high-humidity applications․ Its portable design and robust construction ensure consistent performance in demanding conditions․ Regular maintenance, such as cleaning the filter and ensuring proper drainage, is essential for optimal operation․
Moisture Removal Process
The Dri-Eaz DrizAir 1200 removes moisture by pulling damp air through a refrigerated evaporator coil, where water vapor condenses into droplets; These droplets collect in an internal reservoir or are drained via a hose․ The dry air is then circulated back into the space, reducing humidity levels; This continuous cycle ensures efficient moisture removal, making the unit ideal for water restoration, construction, and high-humidity environments․ The process is both energy-efficient and effective, ensuring optimal drying performance in various conditions․
