Preventing condensation water

Dehumidifiers protect pipework, installations, and equipment like pumps from moisture damage. This keeps systems ready for use and reduces costly downtime. The risk of downtime is much lower. Condensation on walkways increases accident risk and promotes bacteria. Condair dehumidifiers help maintain a safe, hygienic environment.

Smart control dew point guards reduce runtime

Dew point guards activate dehumidifiers only when needed. Compared to conventional humidistat control basedon relative humidity, they significantly reduce operating hours and save energy without compromising performance, enabling efficient, demand-based operation.

Structural damage protection

Condair dehumidifiers can prevent or minimize water vapor diffusion through building structures, protecting them from structural damage caused by humidity. This reduces the risk of costly building renovations over the long term.

Use cases

Humidification solutions for dust and odour reduction

Humidification systems provide an effective means of meeting required limits, improving process flows and safeguarding the health of employees in many industries that produce significant dust emissions.

Frequently asked questions

How does dehumidification improve operations in water treatment plants?

What is the optimal humidity range for water treatment plants?

The target humidity in water treatment plants is determined by the coldest surface. Empirically, water temperatures range between 7 °C and 16 °C throughout the year, which typically matches the surface temperature of pipes and equipment at risk of condensation. The goal is to maintain the ambient moisture dew point about 2 K below the critical surface temperature to prevent condensation.

Why is dehumidification important in water treatment plants?

Ventilation or infiltration of humid air, along with evaporation from open water surfaces in water treatment plants, leads to condensation on pipes, equipment, and surrounding walls. This causes corrosion, mold and microbial growth, safety hazards, and damage to sensitive components. A Condair dehumidifier can maintain optimal humidity levels that prevent condensation.

Condair DP

The Condair DP series is a plant-room indoor pool dehumidifier for small to large-sized pools. It provides powerful, energy-efficient recirculating air dehumidification while protecting the building and ensuring a comfortable indoor climate.

Condair DC

Condair industrial dehumidifiers are used in a wide range of applications across the industrial, commercial, and warehousing sectors. They operate on a refrigerant circuit system and are typically applied in areas that require relative humidity as low as 45 % RH.

Condair DA

Condair DA desiccant dryers are designed for applications requiring extremely low humidity, such as in sensitive industrial manufacturing processes, and for environments with very low temperatures or where precise moisture control is essential.
