HUMIDITY CONTROL
EXTENSIVE DEHUMIDIFIER RANGE
silica gel-coated wheel to absorb moisture from process air. A heated reverse airfl ow regenerates the gel, enabling continuous operation with minimal temperature dependency. The chamber was built on a steel frame with ISO lifting points for
transport. Its walls and ceiling feature a multi-layered structure: 0.7mm steel skin, 12mm concrete board, 100mm PIR insulation, 6mm plywood, and 2mm GRP skin. The fl oor includes 100mm RTM insulation, dual 18mm plywood layers, and a 3mm GRP fi nish. Internal dimensions measure 11,238mm in length, 2,350mm in height, and 3,576mm in width. The chamber includes a sliding access door and a personnel emergency exit. Evaporator fans ensure consistent airfl ow regardless of which unit is active, maintaining uniform conditions throughout the chamber. Additional features include container lighting, door trim heaters, mains failure alarms, temperature alarms, and a trapped-person alert system that disables refrigeration if activated.
Validation and testing Prior to delivery, the chamber underwent extensive engineering runs to confi rm performance. Data loggers recorded temperature and humidity across multiple test cycles, including: 18°C @ 25% RH 30°C @ 80% RH Results confi rmed stable conditions and responsive control across all setpoints. Siemens accepted the system following successful validation, enabling full-scale testing of its medical devices under simulated environmental extremes. The chamber provides Siemens with a reliable, repeatable platform for
environmental testing. It supports product development, quality assurance, and regulatory compliance by ensuring that devices perform safely and eff ectively in diverse conditions. The system’s redundancy and automation reduce the risk of test interruption, while its external installation preserves valuable production space. From a broader industry perspective, the chamber sets a benchmark for
precision environmental simulation. It is applicable to pharmaceutical fi rms, hospitals, and medical device manufacturers seeking to validate products under controlled conditions. The project was awarded the Humidity Control Project of the Year at
the ACR News Awards, recognising its technical innovation and impact. At the Awards ceremony, Dawson’s Gary Nolan said: “It’s wins like these that inspire us to keep pushing boundaries and creating these impactful projects. I was pleased to be able to oversee this project and grateful to Heronhill Air Conditioning for their incredible support in making this vision a reality.”
