DD8L-Zambezi

The inside of a compressor dehumidifier needs to be colder than the air within the room and the colder the room is the harder the dehumidifier has to work. As the temperature starts to fall towards 10°C then the chances are that the inside of the dehumidifier will get close to freezing, increasing the chances of ice forming on the dehumidifier’s cooling coils. This is why below around 15°C compressor dehumidifiers are programmed to spend up to two thirds of their time defrosting themselves rather than dehumidifying. The Meaco DD8L Zambezi is a desiccant that works consistently well at temperatures below 15 degrees.
