Mechanical/refrigerative dehumidifiers usually work by drawing moist air over a refrigerated coil with a small fan. Since the saturation vapor pressure of water decreases with decreasing temperature, the water in the air condenses, and drips into a collecting bucket. The air is then reheated by the warmer side of the refrigeration coil.
Most dehumidifiers can be adapted to connect the drip output directly to a drain. Manufacturers may price dehumidifiers differently solely on the size of the collection bucket. There are usually sensors to detect when the collection bucket is full.
Air conditioners automatically act as dehumidifiers when they chill the air and thus need to handle the accumulated water as well. Newer window units use the condensing coil and fan to evaporate the accumulated water into the outdoor air, while older units simply allow the water to drip outside. Central air conditioning units need to be connected to a drain.
