Why Dehumidify?
-Benefits of using a dehumidifier-
Corrosion
Iron and steel will not rust if
the air in contact with the surface has a relative humidity below
50% relative humidity (RH). Dehumidification is often a better
and less expensive way to protect investments than painting is.
Objects that are protected by dehumidification are for example
bridges, power stations, boats (during standstill) and off-shore
constructions.
Condensation
Moisture will not condensate on
a surface if the air in contact with it has a dew-point lower than
the surface temperature. Condensation can lead to many problems such
as corrosion or short-circuit in electrical systems.
Ice formation
Ice will not form on a surface
if the air in contact with it has a dew-point lower than the surface
temperature. Ice formation is a problem in for example cold storages
where it will cause a lower efficiency in the cooling machinery.
Dehumidification will keep the ice away.
Handling of hygroscope materials
The quality of dry drugs, dry
food, hard candy and other hygroscope materials can only be
maintained through production to the consumer if it is kept in
contact with air at a low relative humidity. If your products form
lumps, degrade quickly, or get sticky you should consider
dehumidification. Most materials demand dew-points so low that they
can only be achieved by sorption dehumidifiers.
Drying buildings
When drying moisture from a
building, whether it is a new building or a building with water
damages, the most effective way is to use sorption dehumidifying.
Heating will only move the moisture to another part of the building,
heating in combination with outdoor ventilation will create high
energy costs. With sorption dehumidifying the moisture is moved out
of the building in a very energy efficient way.
Product drying and cooling
When drying and cooling products
a low relative humidity is essential for a fast process. If the
products to be dried are sensitive to high temperature, the low
relative humidity can only be obtained with dehumidification. In
cooling processes dehumidification allows for a lower temperature
without condensation. The result is faster cooling and money saved.
