What are the controls used to maintain the desired RH, when there is a wide variation in ambient temperatures and RH?
Like any refrigeration plant the load on the dehumidifier system varies due to ambient conditions. The temperature control is maintained by a thermostat. This RH control is achieved with the help of humidistat or a proportionate RH controller. There are several control option for optimizing dehumidifier equipment energy/performance by one or more of many methods like proportionate reactivation energy, switching on and off the reactivation energy, switching off the dehumidifier, switching off the rotary bed and the reactivation energy and keeping the air flows on, etc.
