Dry mode is a feature that can be found on several ducted and split-type air conditioning units that can reduce humidity levels in a room. It is intended for days when the weather is humid but not too hot or too cold. It is for those days when the weather has a tropical feel, but it’s just a little too cool to use cooling mode. Dry mode works by sucking out moisture from the air, similar to that of a dehumidifier, lowering humidity and capturing moisture in the air, thus releasing fresh and breezy air. When the air conditioner is in dry mode, it will extract excess moisture from your indoor air, but it won’t provide cooling. Dry mode won’t perform well on a hot summer’s day, and it is not recommended to use it on such days. It is recommended to use dry mode when it might be raining, damp, and sticky inside and not that cold, but it’s too cool to want to run the a/c on cooling mode. Dry mode is efficient for regulating indoor humidity when outdoor humidity is high and for offsetting the extra moisture that is produced by air conditioning.
