Did you know that a dehumidifier is like a small heat pump? Let us explain: Wood’s dehumidifiers consume between 0.240-0.803 kW in maximum mode – when it is very hot and very humid (30 degrees Celsius heat and 90% relative humidity). The lower the temperature and humidity, the calmer the machine runs. This is significantly smaller than drying cabinets and dryers, which usually consume 2 kW. Every water molecule in the air carries energy, and when water is removed from the air, heat is released, more specifically 0.63 kWh / litre of water. This means that all the energy that the machine consumes comes back as heat (at the same time as heat energy is released when the water is condensed), which the elements do not have to contribute. Very clever! In addition, it is easier to heat dry air than humid, so you save heating costs that way too. Even when using the dehumidifier in a crawl space, you can feel that the floors on the ground floor get a little warmer. The stronger the dehumidifier, the more energy efficient it becomes (gets more litres of water per kWh used).
To summarize, the answer is YES! A dehumidifier from Wood’s can dehumidify the entire basement while drying the laundry.
For laundry rooms and basements, a dehumidifier with a high airflow, top-mounted exhaust and high dehumidification capacity is the best choice. If you’re drying laundry in the basement, you should buy the Wood’s LD series; it’s designed specifically to dry laundry whilst removing all moisture from the basement.
Yes, the Wood’s LD40 is designed to dry laundry quickly and efficiently, whilst also reducing the humidity in the room. The Wood’s LD40 dries laundry more than 55% more energy-efficiently than a tumble dryer.
Wood’s LD40 is designed for larger spaces of up to 100 m². However, in smaller spaces, it removes moisture more quickly and becomes more energy-efficient, so it is also ideal for smaller areas.
Yes, Wood’s LD40 works effectively down to +2 °C. So it’s perfect for use in basements. Wood’s LD40 is the best dehumidifier if you’re drying laundry in the basement.
Yes, the Wood’s LD40 is fitted with an SMF filter that removes mould spores and particles from the air and protects the machine from dirt. If you replace the filter annually and register your product at warranty-woods.com, you’ll receive a 10-year warranty on your LD40.
