Benefits of a Desiccant Dehumidifier in Cold Storage
HOW DOES A DESICCANT DEHUMIDIFIER HELP?
Industrial dehumidifiers provide the best long-term solution for combating moisture control issues.
Desiccant dehumidification reduces the humidity levels in cold stores and process freezers which contribute to condensation and frost. This is done by introducing dry air into the cool room and extracting the wet humid air.
A desiccant dehumidifier will make the environment safer and more sanitary – floors will stay dry, ceilings will not drip and doors without ice build-up will seal properly.
Dehumidification will also increase the efficiency of your refrigeration system as it will not be labouring under increasing defrost cycles caused by condensation and ice build-up.
HOW DOES A DESICCANT DEHUMIDIFIER WORK?
A desiccant dehumidification system provides low dew point air that removes moisture from the cold room or freezer to operate under positive pressure preventing the moisture from entering the space.
The dehumidifier works by passing air through a rotating desiccant wheel to extract moisture from the air. As the wheel rotates, a small portion of the rotor is used to reactivate the wheel. In this portion the desiccant is heated so the moisture is released and is then ducted out of the dehumidified space.
