dehumidifying
Extracting air's wetness
Dehumidifying is removing moisture from the air.
A dehumidifier is an appliance that pulls water vapor from indoor air, preventing mold and reducing that clammy feeling in basements or humid climates: We've been dehumidifying the basement all summer.
Air conditioning systems also dehumidify as a byproduct of cooling.
