Recomendation for workshop dehumidifier

Jul 26, 2003 2 Replies

Workshop is 50Msq and is damp when it rains and is unheated. It is going to be rebuilt in the next six/nine month (same size) so that it will not be damp and it will be heated. While it is being rebuilt (about 3 months) tools etc will be stored in an unheated/damp area.



I want to buy a suitable dehumidifier to keep things in reasonable shape now and while the rebuilding is going on. Once complete the dehumidifier would be used for wood drying.



What mfgrs are the "standard" and what should I be taking into consideration.



Or am I wasting my time? Should I go buy a bigger bin for the electrolysis set up? Cos I'm going to need it :-)



Many thanks, Roy


Hi

If its only for a limited time use I'd use use an old fridge, plug it in and leave the door open, does the trick fine. What you get that way is simply a dehumidifier without the fan. Less leccy consumption too.

Hmm... Now that's a bit of lateral thinking.. Many thanks, Roy
