conditioner. A dehumidifier is a cabinet with coils, condenser coils, a fan, and a reservoir.
The fan blows moisture-laden room air over the cold coils. Water condenses on the cold coil and drips into the reservoir. The drier air then blows across the warm coils and back into the room. The air in the room gets heated and returns back to normal room temperature with normal humidity.
Water collected in the reservoir of a dehumidifier should be emptied regularly.
