Question:

A dehumidifier is essentially a “refrigerator with an open door”. The humid air is pulled in by a fan and guided to a cold coil, where the temperature is less that the dew point, and some of the air’s water condenses, After this water is extracted, the air is warmed back to its original temperature and sent into the room. In a well-designed dehumidifier, the heat is exchanged between the incoming and outgoing air. This way the heat that is removed by the refrigerator coil mostly comes from the condensation of water vapor to liquid. Estimate how much water is removed in 1.0h by an ideal dehumidifier, if the temperature of the room is 25oC, the water condenses at 8oC, and the dehumidifier does work at the rate of 600 W of electrical power.
