Dry air, heat and air movement all affect the drying process.
Dehumidifiers work by removing moisture from the air in a room, which then allows moisture in building materails to evaporate quicker. Air movement from industrial fans helps target the dry air and speed up evaporation from surfaces. To further help with evaporation, warmth helps, so the addition of heaters particularly at colder times of year is often beneficial.
The affect of heat on the evaporative process is the rate of evaporation approximately doubles with an increase in air temperature from 20 to 30 degrees celsius, with a further doubling of the evaporation rate with an increase to 40 degrees celsius.
