Deliver convincing results while controlling costs


When a fi re was extinguished at Devon Hills Holiday Park, the water used to control the blaze left signifi cant moisture within the large leisure complex, threatening structural elements and delaying reinstatement works during the winter.


P


ortable drying equipment alone was not suffi cient. A high-capacity desiccant solution was deployed to deliver the scale of drying


required. The result was controlled conditions, accelerated recovery and a clear demonstration of what industrial-grade adsorption technology can achieve when moisture risk escalates beyond the ordinary.


That same principle now underpins a new opportunity for commercial and industrial operators: access to a rental fl eet of large Dantherm TTR desiccant dehumidifi ers. In warehousing, manufacturing, logistics,


food processing, pharmaceuticals and energy production, humidity can creep into production halls during seasonal shifts, condense on cold surfaces when temperatures fl uctuate, and disrupt sensitive processes without warning. Unexpected spikes can corrode machinery, damage stored goods, compromise packaging, slow curing processes and trigger microbial growth. In high- value operations, the cost of downtime can run to thousands of pounds per hour. Traditional refrigeration-based dehumidifi ers often struggle in low-temperature or low-humidity environments, precisely where many industrial processes operate. Once conditions fall outside their optimal range, performance declines. Desiccant dehumidifi cation works diff erently. Instead of condensing moisture on cold coils, desiccant units use a high-performance desiccant rotor to adsorb water vapour directly from the air. This enables reliable humidity control across a wide temperature spectrum, including low and sub-zero


conditions, and the ability to achieve very low dew points when required.


When a rental fl eet makes strategic sense Permanent installations are not always the immediate answer. Many humidity challenges are seasonal, project-based or emergency-driven. Others arise when legacy equipment no longer meets operational demands. A rental solution provides:


■ Immediate response. Units can be mobi- lised quickly to stabilise conditions follow- ing HVAC failure, weather-related humidity spikes or process disruptions.


■ Scalability. Capacity can be increased during peak production, facility expan- sion or commissioning phases without capital expenditure.


■ Proof of concept. Clients can validate perfor- mance in live operating conditions before submit- ting CAPEX requests for the following budget year.


■ Risk mitigation. Temporary deployment enables real-world data collection to support engineering decisions and board-level investment approvals.


For many organisations, a 3-12-month rental period provides the evidence required to move confi dently from operational expenditure to long-term capital planning.


Industrial-grade dehumidifi ers: The TTR advantage The Dantherm TTR range is engineered for continuous industrial operation. These systems are designed for high airfl ow rates, robust construction and reliable 24/7 performance in demanding environments. Key advantages include: ■ The ability to achieve low dew points suitable for critical processes.


■ Stable operation in cold rooms and unheated facilities.


■ High moisture removal capacity in environments with substantial moisture loads.

■ Modular, ductable confi gurations for fl exible integration.


■ Energy recovery options that improve overall effi ciency.


The rental fl eet also provides a signifi cant opportunity for the UK water damage restoration market. Large commercial losses, such as fi re- related incidents, fl ooded leisure complexes or major plant failures, often exceed the capacity of portable drying equipment. In these scenarios, high-capacity desiccant systems off er the scale and speed required to protect structures and accelerate reinstatement.


Successful humidity control depends on more than machinery. Correct sizing, airfl ow planning, ducting design and integration into existing HVAC systems are critical. Dantherm Group combines decades of


expertise in industrial drying with a dedicated rental fl eet. From initial site assessment through to commissioning, specialists ensure the correct capacity is selected, airfl ow is optimised, energy consumption is balanced against performance, and installation is delivered safely with minimal disruption.
