Desiccant dehumidifiers

The desiccant dehumidifiers we supply are available in a range of sizes, and suitable for a variety of applications. From warehouses and waterworks to factories and restaurants, speak to one of our experts for bespoke advice on the most suitable drying technology for your site or setting.


Why choose adsorption dehumidifiers?

Adsorption dehumidifiers, otherwise known as desiccant dehumidifiers, are one of two commonly used types of systems able to efficiently dry and process indoor air. While both these and condensation units are designed for the same outcome – dry air flow – they approach this process differently and are best suited to different environments.

Adsorption dehumidifiers can operate efficiently and effectively in cool environments between -10°C and +10°C, such as water damage restoration projects, pharmaceutical plants and archives.

Condense or condensation dehumidifiers, on the other hand, operate as energy efficiently as possible in warmer environments between 10°C and 32°C, including data centers, construction sites and swimming pools.

Beyond their applications, adsorption and desiccant dehumidifiers also differ in how they operate. You can view our full range of industrial and commercial dehumidifiers here.

To produce a dry air stream, industrial adsorption dehumidifiers first draw in process air. Once ducted inside the machine, a revolving desiccant wheel loaded with an adsorbent material, such as silica gel, works to capture water vapor from the atmosphere. Once saturated with water, the integral drying agent is then heated, draining water from the material out of the machine. The air outlet then emits a stream of dry air.

This differs from condensation dehumidifiers, which control humidity levels by cooling humid air to its dew point. As water vapor condenses into droplets, dry air flow is emitted and unwanted moisture is drained away.

By harnessing the natural process of desiccation, adsorption dry air solutions are exceptionally good at keeping humidity levels within desired parameters while also keeping energy consumption low.
