An apparatus comprises a memory communicatively coupled to a processor. The memory may be configured to store geofences and existing asset location information. The processor may be configured to obtain first updated asset location information corresponding to a tagged asset, determine whether first global positioning coordinates in the first updated asset location information overlap a first geofence of a first jobsite location in response to determining that the tagged asset is coupled to at least one gateway, and generate a first jobsite assignment indicating that the tagged asset is located in a first jobsite location in response to determining that the first global positioning coordinates in the first updated asset location information overlap the first geofence.

System and method to dynamically monitor jobsite assignments for an asset

An apparatus comprises a memory communicatively coupled to a processor. The memory may be configured to store tag identifiers, asset names, geofences, and asset location information. The processor may be configured to obtain a tag identifier and an asset name of a tagged device; determine whether the asset location information comprises global positioning coordinates of the tagged device. Further, in response to determining that the asset location information comprises the global positioning coordinates, the processor may be configured to determine that the tagged device is located in a predefined area based at least in part upon matching the global positioning coordinates to a geofence; and generate an update indicating that the tagged device is located in the predefined area. In response to determining that the asset location information does not comprise the global positioning coordinates, generate an alert indicating that the tagged device is not located in the predefined area.

System and method to dynamically monitor location information of assets in a predefined area

A dehumidifier includes a cabinet, a compressor, an evaporator, a condenser, and a fan. The cabinet is configured to be installed between studs in a wall. The evaporator is installed within the cabinet above the compressor. The condenser is installed within the cabinet above the evaporator. The fan is installed between the evaporator and a back surface of the cabinet. The fan is configured to generate the airflow that flows into the cabinet through the evaporator and out of the cabinet through condenser. The airflow flows through the evaporator and condenser in order to provide dehumidification to the airflow.

In-wall dehumidifier

A method for controlling a fan of a dehumidifier includes performing a first step of obtaining an ambient temperature, an exhaust temperature, and a delta temperature that is a difference between the ambient temperature and the exhaust temperature. The method further include determining, after performing the first step, whether the delta temperature is within a delta temperature range. If the delta temperature is within the delta temperature range, the method proceeds back to the first step. If the delta temperature is not within the delta temperature range, the method performs a second step of determining an adjusted fan speed using the delta temperature. The method further includes performing, after performing the second step, a third step of setting the fan speed to the determined adjusted fan speed.

Fan control for dehumidifier

A portable dehumidifier includes a cabinet, a fan, a dehumidification system, and a compressor. The cabinet includes a front side and a back side opposite the front side, an airflow inlet located on a first side of the cabinet, and an airflow outlet located on a second side of the cabinet that is opposite the first side. The dehumidification system includes a secondary evaporator located proximate to the airflow inlet, a primary condenser located proximate to the airflow outlet, a primary evaporator located adjacent to the secondary evaporator, a secondary condenser located between the primary evaporator and the primary condenser, and a compressor. The fan is configured to generate an airflow that flows into the cabinet through the airflow inlet and out of the cabinet through the airflow outlet. The airflow flows through the dehumidification system in order to provide dehumidification to the airflow.

Portable rugged dehumidifier

A dehumidifier includes an evaporator, a condenser, a fan, and a processor. In response to determining that a measured relative humidity is greater than or equal to a relative humidity set point, the processor sets the dehumidifier to a first operating mode, wherein a compressor is enabled and the fan is set to a first fan speed while in the first operating mode. The processor further determines whether the dehumidifier has been operating in the first operating mode for a predetermined amount of time, and in response, sets the dehumidifier to a second operating mode if the measured relative humidity is still greater than the relative humidity set point, wherein the compressor is enabled and the fan is set to a second fan speed while in the second operating mode. The second fan speed is greater than the first fan speed.

Portable dehumidifier control system

A dehumidification system includes an evaporator, a condenser positioned proximate to the evaporator, and a drain pan. The drain pan is disposed at least partially below the evaporator and the condenser. The drain pan includes a top piece and a bottom piece disposed at least partially below the top piece. The top piece includes a drainage opening, and is configured to collect water condensed from the evaporator and drain the condensed water to the bottom piece via the drainage opening. The bottom piece includes an enclosed wall, and the condensed water drained from the top piece is directed into an area of the bottom piece that is at least partially surrounded by the enclosed wall.

The method includes setting the dehumidifier to a defrost mode if the dehumidifier has been operating in a dehumidifying mode for less than a predetermined amount of time and a measured evaporator coil temperature is less than a first evaporator coil temperature set point. The method further includes setting the dehumidifier to the defrost mode if the dehumidifier has been operating in the dehumidifying mode for equal to or greater than the predetermined amount of time and a measured evaporator coil temperature is less than a second evaporator coil temperature set point that is higher than the first evaporator coil temperature set point.
