An apparatus for reducing a relative humidity of air inside an enclosed
space includes a portable outside air heat exchanger unit having a fan
operative to create an air stream by drawing outside air from an intake
and discharging the air stream through an outlet inside the enclosed
space, and a temperature adjusting element located in the air stream. A
heating source supplies heat energy to the temperature adjusting element
in response to directions from a heat controller. A humidity sensor is
operative to sense the relative humidity of the air in a sensing location
and to send a humidity signal to the heat controller to change the amount
of heat energy supplied to the temperature adjusting element in response
to the humidity signal. HEPA filters and ultra-violet lights can shine on
the air stream to kill mold spores and the like.
