Humidity control and drying for waterworks machine rooms and pump stations

While this will vary from location to location, the ideal humidity level for machine rooms and pump stations is typically between 30% and 50% relative humidity (RH). Maintaining this range will help protect sensitive equipment, limit moisture-related issues and optimise your sites’ performance.

Industrial-grade dehumidifiers are essential in waterworks machine rooms and pump stations. These commercial units can handle the large volumes of humid air in these spaces, reducing the amount of moisture to safe, sustainable levels.

Both condensation and desiccant dehumidifiers can be applicable in these settings. However, desiccant units are particularly effective in maintaining low humidity levels when the dew point drops below 0ºC, making them better suited in more challenging environments.

For expert advice on determining the best dehumidification system for your needs, contact our waterworks climate control specialists.

Yes. High humidity can cause condensation to occur on electrical components, corroding essential wiring and leading to short circuits. This can result in costly downtime and expensive repairs or replacements.

Conversely, overly dry conditions can build up static electricity in a space, which has the potential also to damage your electrical equipment.

Portable dehumidifiers can be effective for small pump stations, provided they are appropriately sized for the space and the moisture load. These units offer greater flexibility than fixed equivalents, and can be moved to the areas where they are needed most.

Proper humidity control in waterworks machine rooms and pump stations can reduce the workload on the systems operating in these spaces. This can lead to more efficient performance, leading to lower energy costs.

On top of this, we pride ourselves on developing the most efficient dehumidifiers on the market, incorporating heat recovery technology to minimise running costs.

Yes, we have a wide range of condensation and desiccant dehumidifiers that are designed to be deployed in ex-proof zones, ensuring the safety of your personnel, equipment and facilities.

Signs of inadequate humidity in your pump stations, machine rooms and other waterworks facilities include:

• Visible signs of condensation on surfaces

• Puddles on the floor

• Rust or corrosion on metal pipes and components

• Musty odours (indicative of mould growth)

• Frequent electrical issues and failures

Have you spotted any of these signs in your facilities? Contact our experts today for a free consultation on your humidity control problems.
