Differences in Refrigerant dehumidifiers

When talking about refrigerant dehumidifiers, there are two types.  There are standard dehumidifiers and there are Low Grain Refrigerant (LGR) dehumidifiers.  LGR’s are different from standard grade refrigerant dehumidifiers because they are much more energy efficient and the way they are built means they can pull more water also. LGR dehumidifiers use a double cooling system to lower the moisture laden air temperature once inside the dehumidifier so more condensation can form on the internal cooling coils. As condensation builds up on the coils, the water will drip in to a collector pan and then drain down into a discharge pump, or a hose can be run directly down into a floor drain.  LGR dehumidifiers provide the best moisture removal for refrigerant dehumidifiers. These dehumidifiers  produce air that is generally about twenty degrees hotter than when it entered the dehumidifier.  The air will also be dryer and with less moisture than standard refrigerant units.
