Dehumidification is the process of reducing the moisture content of air without altering its dry bulb temperature. This reduction in humidity enhances comfort, particularly in damp regions. Dehumidifiers and air conditioners achieve this by condensing water vapor on a cold surface.
Conversely, humidification involves adding moisture to the air.
Sensible cooling decreases air temperature while maintaining its moisture level.
Sensible heating increases temperature without affecting humidity.
Consequently, the isolated removal of moisture is accurately termed dehumidification.
