Humidity control


boiling process – the drain cycle is no longer needed so can be turned off which stops hot, heated water from going to the drain making this system 20% more energy efficient than a standard set up. For additional energy saving the solution is the


Neptronic X-stream Technology which is a high- efficiency insulated steam distribution multi-lance with patented steam ejector eyelets to distribute the hottest steam into the airflow. The double wall 304 stainless steel tubes are filled with Armacell to


provide insulation to greatly reduce heat loss and therefore limit the condensate generation. Specially engineered silicone eyelets prevent


condensate ejection on start-up and allows the condensate to flow back into the X-stream to be reevaporated, so again reducing the condensate loss and increasing efficiency.


Dehumidification


There are two types of dehumidifiers – refrigerant and desiccant. The refrigerant dehumidifiers have a cold


coil which drops the passing air down to below its dew point causing the moisture in the air to condense with the water going to drain. This type of dehumidifier is ideal for warm environments above 100C and where the humidity needs to be kept at 40%rh and above – ideal for swimming pools, laboratories and temperature-controlled storage facilities. By keeping the humidity at the desired level of around 50%rh can result in energy efficiency as the air heat levels can be reduced without the humidity creating ceiling condensation for example, which in the case of swimming pools results in less water evaporation from the swimming pool and reduced pool heating costs. Desiccant dehumidifiers use a silica rotor to

remove the moisture from the air and vent the moisture as humid air to the outside. These dehumidifiers are best suited for unheated stores or where low humidity is required - in the


case of lithium-ion battery production the humidity is at 0%rh (-1200C dewpoint). In the case of ultradry battery production, Cotes dehumidifiers are constructed with three rotors to allow the dehumidifier to run at lower temperatures, and a two-rotor system which facilitates the use of alternative sources of energy such as heat pumps, using process waste heat and solar. This greatly reduces the running costs of not only the dehumidifier but the whole manufacturing process. More standard applications such as unheated car


storage (shown in the picture) use a built-in heat recovery unit to harvest the waste heat ensuring maximum efficiency and the lowest possible energy consumption. Energy-efficient humidity control is not only possible, but achievable. We can see that the choice of humidifier or dehumidifier, specific application, and use of additional accessories all require scrutiny and assessment to create the best possible energy-efficient humidity control for your application or process. Humidity Solutions understands that humidity


control is not a day-to-day topic for many contractors and consultants which is why it is key to seek advice from experts who can offer a range of solutions from a selection of manufacturers. The company can install or advise on installation, as well as provide planned maintenance to ensure that the optimum solution provides the best humidity control and the lowest running costs throughout the life of the equipment.
