Ideal for boats

During the off-season, boats become a breeding ground for mold. Thermoelectric or vapor phase dryers are not suitable for this application unless the boat is (expensively) heated. The heaters don't work at all as they only direct the moisture into the colder parts of the vessel. With these units these problems are solved. Fill the boat with a bottle, put a dehumidifier in the midsection and in a few days the whole boat will be dry including the inner hull skin in cavities etc. which is normally impossible to dry. Even at very low temperatures, the device is amazingly effective. With lower deck temperatures of 45 degrees, we can reduce the humidity to <20%. This means that the dew point (actual value measurement) is lower than the freezing point. And with such a low partial pressure of water vapor in the boat's atmosphere, the cavities will also dry out, there will be no condensation on large metal parts such as an engine, etc. As others have pointed out, if there hasn't been a design change, many of them seem to produce a rattle. It doesn't matter if you don't plan to live in the same room. around
