Dehumidification Systems
Whether retrofitting an existing dehumidification system, or installing a new one, technology exists to control humidity, improve indoor air quality, reduce bacterial growth, or prevent sick-building syndrome. Other considerations include installation costs, energy costs, available space or maintenance and service needs. This page provides summarized descriptions of numerous dehumidification systems.
| Click one of the following to jump to a particular method: | |
| Improved Single Path | A method which increases cooling efficiency by lowering in-store humidity, especially suited for supermarkets and super-stores. |
| Desiccant Systems | A cost-effective method for creating low humidity environments, utilizing desiccant material to remove the moisture by absorption or adsorption. Effective in deterring microbials. |
| Electric Desiccant Heat Pumps | These systems use a combination of an electric vapor compression cycle as well as desiccant material. Desiccant material is regenerated from the waste condenser heat off of the vapor compression cycle. |
| Heat Pipes | This space-saving, passive energy recovery heat exchanger can enhance latent heat transfer and improve efficiency. |
| Dual Path Systems | A system which increases humidity control and reduces bacteria growth; especially suited for supermarkets and super-stores. |
| Enthalpy Wheels | This space-efficient heat transfer method features rotary air-to-air heat exchangers and helps lower relative humidity. |
| 100% Outside Air Units | These factory packaged units are most suited where a large amount of ventilation air intake is required. |
