Guessing Game

[irnbru]

Just for fun..As most of you will know from previous threads our van has a small water ingress leak where cab meets hab. To avoid it getting any wors, e several weeks ago I turned the van around on the drive to stop any more ingress. Theres been no heating on inside. Last week mum bought a domestic compressor dehumidifier, today I've put it in the van, any guesses as to how much water it will pull out in a 24 hr period?

If the van interior is less than about 6-10°C, probably nothing.

Is that a constant or variable?

27 gill

Im either ignorant, too young or your giving your age away, I've no idea how much a gill is compared to a ml, pint etc. Can you try another format

Its what the dehumidifier said for the 20 mins I was inside. Will go look shortly for any changes.

What dehumidifier have you got Sandra?

A gill is 5 fluid ounces. So 27 gill is 135 fluid ounces.
135 fluid ounces is nearly 7 pints. So my answer is 7 pints.
Btw,the measure for spirits in pubs used to be one-sixth gill,before we went wonky.

Unless all the vents are blocked so it cannot draw anything from the outside, I would guess an awful lot !

 

[TUCANO]

We had one of those old measure in a pub I worked in. Gill does ring a bell somewhere. The lady inspector from weights and measures took issue with it. On its shelf, unused with other antiquated things like wooden and brass beer barrel taps etc.

 

[CamperJack]

3L is my guess.

Not that it has anything to do with your competition but if the air outside is just as wet as the inside air, all you dehumidifier is doing is trying to take water from the atmosphere, rather than drying your van.

You need one of these ...
Amazon product ASIN B0858Z8MR3I can see from my armchair both the temperature & humidity in the garden, in the motorhome, the lounge and one other place.

Egg cup worth.

 

[Winger]

As said above if all vents are not sealed you will be trying to dehumidify the earths atmosphere so it’ll depend on outside humidity levels how you much you capture

 

[DavidG58]

I am sure this talk of sucking in so much from outside is an urban myth, the dehumidifier is only moving the air round not consuming it , why is so much going to be sucked in, where will it all go
