Hi everyone,

Please help us solve a curious question...

If a dehumidifier is placed in one room, resulting in lower humidity in that room... will the more humid air in surrounding rooms be drawn in or will the less humid air in that room be drawn out into surrounding rooms?

Ta :D:D
 
It will be like having a radiator equipped in only that room. Once that room warms up, cold air from adjacent rooms will be drawn to the equipped room as it tries to keep up the temps.
 
It'll will be the water vapor moving from higher to the lower humidity air, due to differences in vapor pressure.

Edit: Or is it partial pressure, can't remember
