Aggreko - Desiccant Dehumidifiers
Our desiccant dehumidifiers perform well at low temperatures and in cold climates. They’re ideal for outdoor use and in places where electricity is limited because they can be run using natural gas, propane, or steam heating.
They work by using silica gel – a desiccant material that attracts moisture from gases and liquids. The moisture is retained within the silica gel and is released again when heated.
We custom-manufacture our desiccant dehumidifiers with an internal silica gel wheel. The wheel rotates slowly, drawing air into the gel, which retains the moisture. The dried air is then blown back into the room or building. The wheel is then heated, which vaporises the trapped moisture, allowing it to be blown outside of the building.
These dehumidifiers are perfect for manufacturing or construction use, such as reducing the drying time for wet concrete, speeding up painting and coating operations, or minimising corrosion.
