Dehumidifiers, are they all peltier?
 

I am guessing that there are dehumidifiers with compressors in them?

We want a new one and I am looking for something a liitle less power hungry,
any recommendations?

I was about to say our ebac has a compressor. Flat out its max load can
approach 400W though IIRC.

Sainsbury had a small compressor one in a few months ago for about £70.
I don't recall the brand.

Mine's a compressor type, from B&Q, about £80 a couple of years ago. If
sine like since.

Regular compressor types are around 200w for the cheaper ones, but
they only run part of the time.

Plenty he http://www.ehs-intl.co.uk/product/index.php?cid=36

I got a PD20DEN from them a while ago (for use in a drying cupboard).
They shipped it quickly and the unit is pretty good! It takes 410W at
full output, but they cycle on and off depending on the humidity so it
isn't a constant load.

I've never seen a peliter dehumidifier.
Peltier heat pumps are much less efficient than compressors,
although they are normally used in lower heat pump capacity
applications where compressors are not viable.

Compressor models mostly seem to be 400W, but depending on
your application, you will probably want a humidistat to
control the humidity, either built-in to the dehumidifier, or
separately.

There's also a dehumidifier type which uses a dessicant disc,
but I've no experience of those.

What's the application? There are some potential problems with
running these in a house, due to the large humidity differential
they create.

My mate actually uses one of these installed on his landing and it has
stopped his winter window condensation problems. Moved to one of these as it
is virtually silent compared to his previous compressor based dehumidifier
that kept everyone awake at night. Has got the water tank plumbed in via a
syphon to empty automatically.

I take it that is a compressor type as there is mention of refrigerant
rather than one of their dessicant rotor types.

I'm not bothered about noise, I quite like ambient noise as it blots out the
neighbours. What is it like on filters?

I'm struggling to find power usage figures for most of their stuff.

Yep, it's a compressor type. Not too noisy really - but we have a fair
bit of space between it and the living room! It has a removable grill
with a (quite coarse) washable nylon filter. Behind that is a HEPA filter
(supplied). You can get spares or, alternatively, a carbon filter
instead. I've not needed to touch any of them in over a year.

There is a place where you can attach a 12mm drainage hose for continuous
drain instead of using the bucket.

Sorry, I was trying to say that I've seen them on sale at similar prices

Hmmn, "effective" use of electricity, to generate quite a lot of heat (by
the sound of it) from electricity, in addition to dehumidifying?

Thanks, I'll give that a try.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember (Andrew
Gabriel) saying something like:

I've never seen a peliter dehumidifier.

The smallest size ones often are - I've got a 600ml/day unit that runs
off 12V, utilising a Peltier and comp fan. 18quid from Aldi, but the fan
was rubbish, so it now sports a Dorothy Bradbury special.
It's very useful for keeping stored car interiors dry.

There are some utilities available that will store copied phrases and
there's also SuperKeys (which I use - but it can be flagged as malware).

To solve the problem of the comparison sites, I just click in the 'exclude'
field, hit # then - and SK drops in:

ebay "compare prices" compare amazon bizrate kelkoo dooyoo pricerunner
shopzilla nextag shoppingcentre freebytes medusa teloos "192.com"
"shop.com" betterdeals "ec21.com" "price comparison" pricemate "ciao.com"
kellysearch fastfinders

every so often I add a few more. As you say, it's often not what you want,
or the prices are high (to pay the comparison site) or, most annoyingly, it
says "sorry, we couldn't find (your item)".

When I get a tuit I'll mod. my Yahoo and Google wibbles (all the prefs.
without cookies) to include a load of exclusions and put 'en up here.

Exclude field? Can't find that. There is a "But don't show pages that

that simply contain certain words.

I have found you can turn the pesky "Query Suggestions" off though.
