In many working environments, ensuring a dry atmosphere where humidity has been removed is vital. The means by which this is achieved is usually a commercial or industrial dehumidifier. These have a wide range of applications, and can be found in factories, offices and warehouses. In factories, they may be involved in production processes and assisted product drying. In offices they can remove humidity in order to make the atmosphere more conducive to working, helping to increase productivity.
What is the purpose of an industrial dehumidifier for warehouse environments?
Industrial dehumidifiers used in warehouses can significantly mitigate the risks of moisture accumulating. This is a real hazard for warehouses, eventually presenting a threat to structural integrity, any machinery used and the inventory that is being stored there. In some cases, the deterioration it can cause to stock, particularly sensitive or delicate materials, can result in substantial losses. That’s why controlling the moisture levels in a warehouse environment is so crucial. Sometimes, extra ventilation is not feasible due to the inventory requiring a temperature controlled environment.
An industrial dehumidifier is the first line of defence against some of the issues that can arise as a result of moisture building up in a warehouse. They provide supplemental airflow, during day and night when moisture becomes a concern.
How does moisture build up in a warehouse?
As warm air cools in a warehouse and surfaces such as floors, ceilings and machinery, lose their heat, they will eventually reach their dew point. This is the temperature at which warm air cools to form moisture on cooling surfaces. As the temperature drops further moisture accumulates, creating significant moisture build up if no mitigating steps are taken.
As a result, rust can build up on machinery and storage facilities, concrete floors can sweat presenting safety compliance issues.
A commercial dehumidifier for warehouse settings and other storage facilities can make a crucial difference when it comes to maintaining a moisture free environment.
