Refrigation is the process of passing a high
volume of gas, over a cool surface. If the surface catches moisture
ladend air, and it cools quickly, it will condinsate. That is of course what
the de-humidifier is designed to do. but if there is excessive moisture,
cool enough coils, and a high enough volume of moisture ladened gas ( air )
some can freeze. I am wondering why you are trying to grow your
seedlings in water. Bill Nash tried this , with disasterous results ( to
parts of his house) You should be "sealing" up each flat or growing
unit, so it provides it's own "in house" humidty. Then it won;'t matter,
what the surrounding humidty ( in the room ) is.
Thanks

I have a dehumidifier in my basement near the
seedling bench. Can anyone tell me
why all of a sudden in is getting ice on the
coils. I was hoping to keep the humidity
down this winter; my seedlings sit in water and
others have said this really will drive
up the humidity.
