Annapolis Boat Fire

For what it's worth a dehumidifier rejects more sensible heat than it absorbs. 1st, the moisture removed is latent btu's. These btus used to remove moisture are heat bearing and when rejected, the heat is sensible. Next, the heat of compression and the motor heat are also rejected. For this reason, the condenser is larger than the evaporator. So technically yes a dehumidifier does add a little heat. I don't know if I would consider that a good heat source but it is btu's none the less.

Oh hell! There I have went and stuck my foot all up IN my mouth here. For what its worth, I didn't mean to target you directly sir, and deeply apologize. I suppose I was just considering how I use one, kicking it around, etc. But that was not an excuse.

The offending item is gone sir.

Understood. Thanks

What's wrong with frozen bilge water? Why leave your boat alone with a running space heater? If you have antifreeze in the coolant system of your engine (where the water goes when running) and vodka in the drinking system, you can rest easy at night when your boat is sitting in a 5" ice skirt.
