Humidity control and drying for refugee camps: FAQs

Why is dehumidification important in refugee camps?

When emergencies displace people from their homes, refugees rely on your temporary shelters to stay safe. But accommodating large crowds for long periods can send tent humidities soaring. To keep your settled camps dry, safe and consistently comfortable, humidity control is critical, as it:

  • Halts the spread of infectious diseases

  • Prevents the growth of mould and mildew inside

  • Safeguards occupants from damp-related sickness

  • Shields important equipment inside your tents

  • Protects essential supplies, such as food and medicine

  • Reduces the deterioration of your temporary structures

As market leaders in camp and field hospital dehumidification, speak to our experts for bespoke advice on choosing the right dehumidifiers for your needs.

What type of dehumidifiers are suitable for refugee camps?

This depends on where and when you need to set up temporary shelters, as well as the number of people your tents house. In many cases, humanitarian organisations find their needs are met by:

  • Portable condensation units, which work by cooling, condensing and draining moisture-laden air, making these types of units ideal for warmer climates

  • Desiccant dehumidifiers, which use a highly absorptive material to attract and remove moisture from the air, allowing them to operate effectively in cold settings

For impartial, expert guidance when selecting the right dehumidifiers for your setup, get in touch for a free consultation.

How do dehumidifiers prevent mould growth in refugee tents?

Dehumidification units physically capture and remove excess humidity in tents. These dry conditions make it less likely for mould and mildew to spread inside your makeshift accommodation.

Can dehumidification help improve health conditions in refugee camps?

Yes. Humidity control units constantly manage moisture levels in the air, creating optimal conditions that protect your occupants from:

  • Exposure to toxic mould and mildew

  • Harmful infections, including athlete’s foot and legionnaires’ disease

  • Eczema, sinusitis, asthma, bronchitis and other damp-related illnesses

  • Injuries brought about by slip hazards, damp electrical outlets and more

  • Outbreaks of serious diseases in the camp

Do you sell energy-efficient dehumidifiers for use in refugee camps?

Yes, our wide range of high-performance dehumidification systems are some of the most efficient solutions on the market.

Combining decades of expertise, high-quality components, and a steadfast commitment to European engineering, the solutions we supply enable refugee camps to maintain the ideal humidity conditions in the most resource-efficient way possible.

Do dehumidifiers help reduce odours in refugee tents?

Yes, the right humidity control equipment can eliminate the growth of pungent mould and mildew. Paired with a dedicated air cleaning and ventilation solution, you can create comfortable, breathable environments in even the largest refugee camps.

For more information about securing the most suitable air cleaners and ventilation units for your aid efforts, reach out to our experts.

Can dehumidification protect personal belongings in refugee tents?

Yes. Capable moisture prevention equipment can shield people’s belongings – be they clothes, medicine or toiletries – from the corrosive threat of water vapour.

Are your dehumidification systems for refugee camps easy to deploy, operate and maintain?

Yes. We understand that in these hectic, ever-changing environments, you don’t want the set-up and use of these units to be complicated.

Our portable units are effortless to deploy and switch on, while their ergonomic design, compact size and large wheels make them easy to transport from site to site. They are also easily stackable to save storage space when not in operation.

Furthermore, our sophisticated engineering and commitment to using robust, high-quality materials help reduce our units’ maintenance needs. Our dehumidifiers are rigorously field-tested to verify their long-term performance and ease of use.
