Mysteriously saving electricity with Dry mode on air conditioner

Previously we introduced you to ways to save electricity when using air conditioning, especially during the hot summer months. And in this article we will send you how to use Dry mode to save electricity. However, not everyone knows how to use this mode so that it can reduce electricity bills for families when using air conditioners.

When you switch from Cool (snowflake) mode to Dry (water drop) mode, it saves a lot of electricity. While the cooling capacity of these two modes is the same. But, if misinterpretation leads to wrong regulation, the effect is quite the opposite.

1. Why is the Dry mode more energy efficient?

In the air conditioner there will be two cooling modes: Cool - cool and Dry - dry. With Cool mode, the air conditioner works by pushing the heat from the room to the outside and this process requires very high power capacity.

How to use air conditioner so that it really saves electricity

Dry mode is different, basically, the effect of Dry is almost equivalent to Cool, just different from the operating mechanism. With Dry, regulate the room temperature by dehydrating the air.

High humidity air often causes a feeling of heat. This can be seen most clearly when it is going to rain. Air humidity increases, causing sweat to escape, which cannot evaporate, causing unpleasant feelings even though the temperature is not really high.

When using the Dry mode, the air conditioner retains moisture in the air, returning the room to a dry atmosphere, making us feel more comfortable even at higher temperatures when using Cool mode. In addition, power consumption capacity is also many times lower than Cool.

When using Dry, the amount of water vapor does not go away and is still in the dehydration unit. This amount of water will be returned to the air and the cooling cycle will revolve again, so the humidity is constantly maintained at 60%.

2. When should Dry be used?

The use of Dry mode has many benefits such as saving electricity, ensuring coolness, but it is not always possible to use this mode. Dry nature is the process of splitting water, so it should be used in the days when it is not too hot and the air humidity is high.

In contrast, dry days should not be used in Dry mode. When the humidity in the water is not too low, this Dry mode separates the water, making the air drier. Therefore, many people feel dry, dehydrated when using this mode.

Therefore, the days of weather are high humidity, sweltering, you can use Dry to cool. On hot dry days, it is best to turn on Cool mode.
