Dry mode on an air conditioner, also known as "dehumidification" mode, is a feature found in several ducted and split-type air conditioning units that reduces humidity levels in a room. It is intended for use on humid days when the weather is not too hot or too cold, such as when the weather has a tropical feel but is just a little too cool to use the cooling mode. The dry mode works similarly to the cooling mode, but it senses temperature differently. In cooling mode, the air conditioner cools the room and regulates according to the air temperature, while in dry mode, it regulates with regard to the room/return air temperature and the cooling coil. This mode is activated through the air conditioners remote control, usually by pressing a button with the word "dry" on it or a water droplet symbol. It is important to note that dry mode wont perform well on a hot summers day, and it is recommended to use the cooling mode in such conditions.
In summary, dry mode on an air conditioner is a useful feature for reducing humidity levels in a room on humid days when the weather is not too hot or too cold. It is activated through the air conditioners remote control and works similarly to the cooling mode, but with a focus on regulating humidity levels.
