Humidity may be invisible, but its impact is anything but. Corroded steel in aircraft hangars, peeling paint in high‑rise plant rooms, and persistent condensation above indoor pools all share a single culprit: excess moisture. For builders and mechanical engineers looking to safeguard assets and slash running costs, specifying the right industrial dehumidifier is fast becoming a core design decision. Below we unpack three specialist solutions offered by Dehum—each tailored to a different high‑stakes environment yet united by one goal: total moisture control.
Pool halls are notorious for combining warm air, high humidity and aggressive chloramines that attack roof trusses and glazing seals. Dehum’s DanX ventilation units treat supply and return air in a single, purpose‑built package. Every model ships with a control suite that constantly balances temperature and relative humidity, while options such as double heat exchangers and reversible heat pumps recover energy that would otherwise be lost to exhaust air —cutting HVAC bills by as much as 30 per cent Dehum.
Why engineers choose it
Longevity: Long service life translates to a low total cost of ownership.
Demand‑led control: Built‑in sensors adjust fan speed and compressor load automatically, maintaining the recommended 50–55 % RH zone for swimmer comfort.
Plug‑and‑play BMS integration: BACnet/Modbus connectivity delivers real‑time data to central plant dashboards.
Cold‑storage docks, pharmaceutical clean rooms and food‑processing lines often require sub‑40 % RH even when ambient temperatures drop below 10 °C. Traditional refrigerant coils ice over; desiccant technology does not. Dehum supplies Dantherm’s TTR 800 (3.6 kg/h moisture‑removal) and TTR 1400 (7.4 kg/h) models, giving specifiers a modular path from small prep rooms to sprawling production floors Dehum.
Key engineering benefits
Extreme flexibility: Reliable performance in hot, cold or fluctuating climates.
Precise process control: Maintain ±3 % RH tolerances—ideal for hygroscopic materials and electronics.
Compact footprint: Stackable designs free up valuable floor space in retrofit projects.
Large, open‑volume buildings—think data‑centre battery rooms or bulk‑storage warehouses—demand high capacity with minimal maintenance. The Calorex DH 150 floor‑standing unit delivers exactly that. An integral humidistat keeps RH on point, while a constant‑flow fan self‑regulates against external duct pressure, ensuring steady performance despite long duct runs.
Why it matters on site
Fully automatic operation: Set it once; the on‑board control handles the rest.
Heating option: Integral coils offset the cooling effect of moisture removal, protecting temperature‑sensitive stock.
Versatility: Popular in substations, museum store rooms and even offshore wind‑farm platforms where harsh conditions call for rugged kit.
| Application | Target RH | Recommended Dehum Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Pool halls & leisure centres | 50–55 % | DanX aquatic‑centre range |
| Cold storage | ≤ 40 % at ≤ 10 °C | TTR desiccant series |
| Warehouses & substations | 40–60 % | DH 150 industrial floor‑standing unit |
Lower lifecycle costs – Energy‑recovery modules and EC fans dramatically cut kWh consumption.
Protect structural integrity – Dry air slows corrosion and mould growth, preserving warranties and asset value.
Meet compliance effortlessly – Precise humidity control helps satisfy AS 1668 and NCC Section J ventilation requirements without oversizing chillers.
Fast ROI – Case studies show paybacks inside three years via reduced maintenance, fewer product write‑offs and lower insurance premiums.
From high‑altitude office towers to chlorine‑filled aquatic centres and aviation hangars, Dehum’s industrial dehumidifiers deliver the performance, reliability and smart controls today’s projects demand. Ready to future‑proof your next build?
