What effect does a large DX unit have on moisture removal when the ambient conditions are 70°F and 30% RH?

In the context of drying and dehumidification, when using a large direct expansion (DX) unit at 70°F and 30% relative humidity (RH), it is important to understand how the efficiency of moisture removal is influenced by temperature and humidity levels.

At 70°F and 30% RH, the air is already relatively dry. The capacity of a DX unit to remove moisture is inversely related to the existing moisture content in the air. Since the ambient RH is low, the air has a limited amount of moisture to be removed. Therefore, a large DX unit operating under these specific conditions may not effectively remove significant quantities of moisture because it works most efficiently in conditions where the air is saturated or nearly saturated (higher RH levels).

In summary, while a DX unit is designed to dehumidify air, its effectiveness in this instance is compromised due to the relatively low moisture content of the air at 30% RH. As a result, it would not be removing significant moisture, thereby supporting the conclusion that it would be removing no moisture under these conditions.
