Condair DA desiccant dehumidifiers

Desiccant dehumidifiers are ideal for providing dehumidification at very low temperatures or when very low humidity levels are needed. The Condair DA range can operate effectively down to -30°C and maintain an atmosphere as low as 10%RH.

A range of additional modules can be connected to the dehumidifier, providing flexible operation, enabling it to deliver air exactly as an application requires it. These include pre- or post-cooling batteries, heat exchangers and condensation modules.

The additional heat exchangers can utilise gas, hot water or steam to reduce the operating costs of the system and can be operated alongside the regular electric heater. Models up to 20kg/h have electrical reactivation with advanced self-regulating PTC heating.

A wide range of control options is available and includes an on-board touch screen controller, BMS support, with Modbus as standard, as well as a comprehensive range of other BMS gateways.

Condair DA dehumidifiers incorporate high quality AC or EC fans prior to the desiccant rotor, in a push configuration, to avoid contact with the hot humid exhaust air and prolong operational lifetime of the fans.

The desiccant rotors are positioned in a vertical configuration as standard, allowing a minimal design height. 

Features and benefits

  • Ideal for use in low temperatures or when very low humidity is required, 10-50%RH
  • Operating range of -30°C to 40°C
  • Dry air volumes range from 160m³/h to 9,400m³/h from standard models
  • Fans situated prior to desiccant rotor avoiding contact with hot, humid air
  • Many configuration options make the DA suitable for any drying project, including cold stores and freezers
  • Can deliver dry air directly to a room or a ducted ventilation system

Desiccant gel absorbs moisture

Desiccant gel is contained within a rotor wheel that absorbs moisture from the supply air. The moisture is removed by blowing hot air through a section of the desiccant rotor and exhausting the hot moist air.

“The noise level is now so low that you can talk normally in the ventilation room even though both the ventilation and a dehumidifier are running, which was one of the criteria. You certainly couldn't do that before, and it's worked out well in a concrete bunker.”

“The dehumidification solution from Condair is one of the best investments we have made down here.

Prime Ocean is one of Europe’s largest importers of fresh cod from FAO27 and also imports large volumes of salmon. Both fresh fish products and high-quality frozen products are produced. The dehumidification solution has helped eliminate condensation problems, the daily downtime of the machines has been virtually eliminated and the maintenance work on both machines and buildings has been significantly minimized.”

“The ceiling mounted dehumidifiers are compact in size and were fixed above the pool and spa areas. We were very satisfied with Condair’s service and their prompt response to the project.

The quality of the Condair DP-C dehumidifiers is of a high standard and they were easy to install and simple for the customer to operate. We look forward to a working with the Condair team in the future.”

“The Condair DC 50W dehumidifier was actually chosen by our designers, as it fitted the bill perfectly for the environment. The unit size was based on the quantities of kit hung in the room to dry when the firefighters return to the Centre at the end of their training exercises.

It’s a reliable product and currently operating at the station just as expected, plus installation was really simple and didn’t take long at all, so all very good.

I would definitely specify Condair dehumidifiers for future projects.”

“We have been very happy with the performance of the Condair dehumidifiers JTR installed to comply with our drying approach. It has not only allowed us to increase production efficiency but also produce our award-winning biltong.

We have full control over the entire process and can make decisions based on the data that we recieve. This is something which we couldn’t do as well before.”

“The rooms need very tight environmental control but the previous strategy introduced outside air to help lower temperatures when needed. JTR redesigned the drying rooms and installed Condair DC-N dehumidifiers.

The dehumidifiers, located in the rooms, both dry and heat the air to the required condition, resulting in a fully sealed area and a consistently controlled drying process.”
