What is the difference between a dehumidifier with a compressor and one without?
A. Traditionally dehumidifiers worked on the refrigeration principle where air passed over a cold refrigerated coil and moisture condensed on the coil and drained into a container. The compressorless adsorbent machines such as Ruby Dry & XDry work on the principle of moist air being drawn into an adsorber that is a slowly rotating disc impregnated with silica. A heating element applies heat to the adsorber that heats the moisture to a high temperature vapor that immediately condenses into water.
