Split AC Keeps Freezing over in exercise room

They certainly will though they are not at all cheap if you get a good one. You will need a floor drain or very long outlet pipe to another room that has a floor drain.
 

My dehumidifier can drop the humidity in my workshop by 10% to 20%! Now before you get your panties in a bunch the workshop has a floor area of 90sqm and a volume of 450cm before deducting for tools and fixtures.

this was more expensive than an big AC but is mobile 

 

so probably if you drop the humidity to 30% before you start, have it and a good A/C running at the same time it will be OK though the 45 litres a day may be too little 

 

NB you need the AC because the humidifier is blowing hot air, it must to dehumidify. 

 

Interesting and for my small 3x4 exercise room it would be much cheaper I think.  I have done a little research and 5k-8k baht  unit should suffice.  It won't be running more than 2-4 hours a day.  My current AC can drop the humidity to 45% in a couple hours and creates a river by the drain pipe.  I'm going to see if it is able to keep the humidity down in dry mode while on a long treadmill run in a few days.  Running outside today 🙂  

 

My prior ACs wouldn't cool much in dry mode but this new AC does and the humidity drops fast.  I assume it is because it it is oversized for the tiny room.

 

Thanks for the input.

That is probably incorrect thinking. You can probably estimate the amount of water you need to drink for your personal exercise for an hour. The unit I have can at best remove 1.8 litres in an hour that is if conditions are perfect for it. 
 

Take your requirement, at least double it multiple by 24 and look for a unit that has at least that if not more. Make sure you can use a drain pipe, if you can’t you will regret it DAKHIKT. The cheaper units don’t have a facility to add a pipe.

 

if you are determined on a lower output unit then I would suggest the XIAOMI XMI-BHR8121TH, that is less than 1 litre per hour but the brand is good

Make sure that before you start you have the humidity as low as it can go, I seldom see less than 50% but then I’m not trying. A report back after you have experimented would be good.

 

NB pay no attention to the room size recommendations, it’s the litres per 24 hours/24 that is relevant, and your requirements are extreme.
