Dehumidifiers for high temperature operation and associated systems and methods are disclosed. A method in accordance with a particular embodiment includes drawing air into a dehumidifier and automatically monitoring an electric current drawn by a refrigerant compressor of the dehumidifier. The method can further include automatically stopping the compressor in response to the current meeting or exceeding a predetermined threshold value, and automatically restarting the compressor in response to the compressor meeting a predetermined condition that includes or corresponds to a target pressure difference between refrigerant pressures upstream and downstream of the compressor. The predetermined condition, in at least some embodiments, includes the passage of a period of time sufficient to allow refrigerant pressures upstream and downstream of the compressor to come within a preselected range of each other. |
