making this system 20% more energy efficient than a standard set up. For additional energy saving, the solution


from Humidity Solutions is 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 allow the condensate to flow back into the X-stream to be reevaporated, 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 10°C and where the humidity needs to be kept at 40% RH and above – ideal for swimming pools, laboratories and temperature-controlled storage facilities. 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, 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 rota 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,


for example, the humidity is at 0% RH (-120°C dewpoint). With ultradry battery production, Cotes dehumidifiers are constructed with three rotas to allow the dehumidifier to run at lower temperatures and a two-rota system which facilities 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 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 from the above 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
