Which HVAC component is most responsible for removing moisture from the air?

  1. Air filter

  2. Compressor

  3. Condensing coil

  4. Evaporator coil

The correct answer is: Evaporator coil

The evaporator coil is located inside the condensing unit of the HVAC system and is responsible for cooling the air by removing heat and moisture. As warm air passes over the cold evaporator coil, the moisture condenses on the coil and is then drained away. This is why the evaporator coil is considered the most responsible for removing moisture from the air. On the other hand, the air filter primarily helps remove particles and allergens from the air, while the compressor and condensing coil work together to compress and cool refrigerant to further remove heat from the air.
