De-humidifiers explained

There are 2 different methods of de–humidification:

1) Refrigeration based
dehumidifiers do so by creating a cold surface onto which excess moisture condenses out.

2) Adsorption / Dessicant
dehumidifiers use hygroscopic media to adsorb moisture.

Both types add heat to the air they are drying. The net heat gain is approximately equal to the electrical consumption of the dehumidifier.

Refrigeration dehumidifiers are used to control humidity down to 40% Rh and at temperatures down to 3 degrees Celcius.

Adsorbtion dehumidifiers can control humidity levels below 40% and are ideal for low temperature environments.

In addition to our free dehumidifier selection and application service for dehumidification, we can also offer installation & commissioning services using our in-house engineers. Please contact us for details.
