Test information they supply makes sense. Impossible to do inside any
engine, but even just moving large quantities of air, as with a fan,
will dramatically reduce condensation on surfaces, if not eliminate it
entirely, along the same idea as bubbling air through water keeps the
water from forming ice. And the eternal change of
temperature/pressure definitely causes vacuum to form in undesirable
places, so dry air would sure help.
The other alternative is to keep everything heated, and heating would
certainly cost more than the 50 cents US$ quoted for a months supply
of electricity there in Florida. On the other hand that may well
extrapolate to 50 bucks CDN$ next year though, here in Ontario (VBG
-political statement intended).
If I had a doubt about their claim, it would be the 3 Watts to power
this thing, unless it's got some control electronics for flow. And
the cost of oven drying the desiccant every month isn't included.
Maybe that would be equivalent to a heater?
And the price shouts "Hey, I'm STC'ed, I reduce weight, and I'm ONLY
$ 189.99 US. ". Hard to pass up something THAT unusual, eh?
Take care.
