dry water damaged materials, by forcing the water/moisture out of
the materials and into the air. The process of turning a liquid into
vapor is called?
a. Condensation

grains/when air is dryer of drying?
, 8. True True/False: The exhausted, output heat from the LGR dehumidifier
will assist in evaporating moisture in materials.
