Patent Images
1. A dehumidification system, comprising:
- a dehumidifier;
a user interface;
a humidity sensor for determining relative humidity of an area;
means carried by said user interface for selecting a desired humidity for said area;
a wood moisture sensor for measuring the wood moisture in said area;
means for selecting a desired wood moisture for said area; and
a controller interconnected with said dehumidifier, said humidity sensor, said desired humidity selecting means, said wood moisture sensor, and said desired wood moisture selecting means, wherein said controller activates said dehumidifier when said relative humidity is higher than said desired humidity, and wherein said controller activates said dehumidifier when said actual wood moisture is higher than said desired wood moisture.
