Commercial Refrigerant Dehumidifiers

Industries and Applications

Refrigerant dehumidifiers, also known as mechanical dehumidifiers, work best in spaces where the temperature is at 20° C and above and humidity levels of 50% and above. They work on the humidity of the room and run when the humidity is above its set point.

Depending on your specific needs (taking in what we now know from above), and indoor climate control requirements, Refrigerant Dehumidifiers work well in a variety of settings such as:

• Storage facilities

• Warehouses

• Honey and hive storage rooms

• Indoor swimming pools

• Cellars and basements

Refrigerant Dehumidifiers are also perfect for carpet drying and flood restoration work. Drawing out moisture from carpets, underlays, walls, sub-floor, building structure and furnishings.

Desiccant or Refrigerant Dehumidifier?

Here is a graph showing temperature and humidity levels and in which range you would choose a desiccant or refrigerant dehumidifier.

Refrigerant Dehumidifiers - A Bit More Detail…

The temperature and humidity levels of the air you're working with can impact how well your dehumidifier performs. When you lower the dew point, the temperature needed to make condensation on a cold evaporator in a refrigerant dehumidifier also drops. If the air coming in has a dew point below 10°C, the evaporator coil temperature necessary to create condensation is likely to be sub-zero. When airborne water vapor hits the cold tube, the condensate can start to freeze. Eventually, ice can build up on the evaporator coil, which blocks heat transfer and air flow, making the unit less efficient. This can lead to defrost cycles where the dehumidifier isn't working.
