How Does It work?
The Garrison Dehumidifier uses R-410A Refrigerant to dehumidify areas of up to 4,000 square feet. The fan takes in humid air and moves it through the filter and an evaporator. The air is then cooled below the dew point, and the water vapor creates a condensate on the coils, which flows to the unit water bucket.
The dried air is then released, and the process is repeated again and again until moisture and humidity levels are reduced.
