Dehumidification - ANSthe process of removing water vapor from the air. Rate of Dehumidification - ANSmust be at least equal to the rate of evaporation. True or False - ANSElevated vapor pressure in a room Can cause secondary damage to hygroscopic materials True or False - ANSThe control of temperature is important to enhance both evaporation and dehumidification for effective drying True or False - ANSWhen temperature increases evaporation of absorbed water increases and water vapor suspended in air also increases. Classification of Water Intrusion - ANSdescribed as Class 1, 2, 3, or 4. Must be determined to calculate the amount of dehumidification required in drying process, based on the amount of wet surfa
