Dobbo Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 Your air conditioner should be removing the moisture, did the installer connect the drain? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dobbo Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 An extractor fan with a shutter that seals off the vent when it is not on will help, if you are just using the lab as a heat source it should be all you need, avoid gas heating as it adds a lot of moisture to the environment. Is it possible to insulate the outside part of the air conditioner, if you have the room you can build an insulated cover that vents out the bottom using polystyrene or ply and a good solid insulation. It doesn't take much to raise the temp inside the cover to get the air conditioner working which is by far the best way to remove moisture.

imi Posted February 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 hii dobbo ... thanks for guiding .. you are helpful in this forum .. one thing i wanna know will i let air in or out from extractor fan and can i use electric blower instead of gas heater to maintain temp of room as walls , ceiling,and floor is fitted with tiles .. may be this is reason room is full of moisture due to lack of wood or ply which absorbs moisture .. in summers when i open my shop i feel really humid inside and sometimes get afraid to start machine as it can be fatal .. hahaha give some tips for summer time also thanks ...
