Increasing the air flow rate in it. 2. Decreasing the humidity inside it by rapidly removing the water vapour. 3. Rising up the internal temperature by rapid circulation of heat throughout the wardrobe. Total Power Used (watt) 35. 28 9. 0 Advantages Benefits that we can reap from it: 1. Two functions in one wardrobe. Switch on to dry the clothes. Switch off to store the clothes. 2. No hassle as this wardrobe can be plugged in or run on battery. 3.
