Drying apparatus for temporary location within a damp or waterlogged room is disclosed. The apparatus includes sensors (9,10) to sense the level of temperature and humidity within the room, a heater (3) to provide heat for the room, an air circulation fan (4) for selectively circulating heated air within the room or selectively exhausting warm and humid air from the room and for allowing outside ambient air into the room. The apparatus being adapted to cyclically continue until the sensed humidity reaches a required level, the apparatus thereafter indicating, directly or indirectly, the completion of the drying process. A method of drying a room using such apparatus is also disclosed which employs a technique whereby the rate of change of the temperature increase is used to determine when humid air should be exhausted from the room. A time limit can also be use to determine when said exhausting takes place. |
