<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi David,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>We did get humidity build up over time =
with certain
materials and positioning of the humidistat during our product =
development
research. This actually delayed the market introduction by almost =
a year
as we worked to find the right material and the right =
orientation.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Elevation of temperature is the =
mechanism for
dehumidification. We generally see a temperature increase of =
about 5
degrees F. We do not see a problem with high total wattage so =
long
as all the dehumidifiers are connected to the =
humidistat. The
temperature rise might be greater in this case. The product
is commonly used in Pacific Rim countries in a way similar to what =
Terry
described. We have not heard of any bad effects due to the
heat.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hope this helps,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
