Humidity control and drying for cold chain logistics: FAQs

Why are dehumidifiers important in cold chain logistics?

Dehumidifiers are an essential technology in cold chain logistics, as they remove unwanted water vapour from your storage spaces.

This prevents ice from forming on items such as food, chemicals and pharmaceuticals, preserving their safety, quality and overall shelf-life. They also enable you to store and transport goods compliantly under the correct conditions.

In addition, dehumidification in your facilities prevents the formation of fog, icicles and slippery floors. This supports the safety and long-term productivity of your workers.

Furthermore, by using technology that reduces the amount of moisture content in the atmosphere, you safeguard your cooling systems and similar equipment from water and frost damage.

If you need a solution that keeps your cold chain’s climate under control, talk to our team about our selection of industrial dehumidifiers.

How do desiccant dehumidifiers prevent condensation in cold chain environments?

Desiccant dehumidifiers prevent condensation and ice buildup by physically removing excess moisture from the air. These systems draw damp air in and pass it over a desiccant material within the unit. This extracts the water vapour and drains it away, exhausting dry air back into the atmosphere.

What types of dehumidifiers are commonly used in cold chain logistics?

Thanks to their exceptional performance in cold conditions and the outstanding drying capacity of these solutions, desiccant dehumidifiers are the best solution for cold chain logistics.

Coupled with an equally capable moisture measurement device, you can guarantee the right conditions are maintained right the way along the cold chain.

For advice on the best drying solution or measurement device for your operations, speak to our experts.

Do you sell energy-efficient dehumidifiers for cold chain logistics?

Yes. At Dantherm Group, we are proud to produce some of the most efficient humidity control systems for the cold chain logistics sector. We set this benchmark by harnessing decades of engineering experience and using high-quality components.

As well as improving the environmental credentials of your operations, reducing energy consumption can help you achieve meaningful long-term savings.

Can dehumidifiers extend the shelf-life of perishable goods in cold storage?

Yes. Through constant condensation and frost prevention, humidity control and drying solutions can enable perishable goods to last longer, be they pharmaceuticals or food products.

How do dehumidifiers help with regulatory compliance in cold chain logistics?

Certain items, such as pharmaceuticals and food items, have to be kept in precise conditions to maintain their safety and efficacy. Dehumidifiers play a key role in upholding these strict standards as they are transported from factories to shelves.

What are the benefits of using desiccant dehumidifiers in cold chain logistics?

With the right desiccant dehumidifiers, you can:

  • Safeguard the quality and safety of your clients’ temperature-sensitive cargo

  • Protect the focus, health and safety of your employees on the ground

  • Shield your essential equipment from water and frost damage

  • Minimise costly wastage and delays

These advantages do more than enhance operational efficiency – they can bolster your business’s bottom line.

What should be considered when choosing a dehumidifier for cold chain logistics?

There is no one-size-fits-all solution to cold chain moisture control. To find the ideal solution for your setup, it’s important to consider:

  • The drying capacity of your chosen solution
  • The size and layout of your cold stores, refrigerated vehicles and other spaces
  • The products you are transporting
  • The climatic conditions you must achieve

We work with you to recommend drying technology that delivers the perfect blend of performance and economy based on your exact requirements. Talk to our experts to get started.

What are the signs a cold chain facility needs better humidity control?

If your facility has icicles on the ceiling, frost on cargo, or fog indoors, your facility may benefit from better humidity control. Other signs of a damp environment include:

  • Mould and mildew

  • Rust

  • Condensation

  • Musty odours
