The amount of water vapour present in the air determines the humidity of that air. The humidity in the air can affect anything and everything. High humidity levels make the substances more susceptible to fungi attack and also damage the industrial equipment.
Certain work processes require optimum temperature, pressure and humidity for functioning. In the presence of extreme humidity manufacturing steps like production, processing, storage and packaging are hampered.
Humidity control is most required in –
- Electricity power plants – corrosion of machines or parts of machines leading to malfunctioning or failure of equipment.
- Pharmaceutical industry – humidity can cause various biochemical reactions and growth of various micro-organisms
- Agriculture – high humidity affect the drying and storage processes. It can significantly reduce the shelf life and germination potential of the seed.
- Electronics – humidity levels must be controlled in industries where electronic items are manufactured as it can cause corrosion of integrated circuits, semiconductors and transistors.
- Food processing – humidity brings down the quality of food items by losing their freshness, aroma, flavour and crispiness.
- Cold storage units – humidity is mostly found high in cold storage units. It can have various effects like ice buildup, wet conditions, decreased cooling efficiency and mildew growth.
Almost all industries are somehow affected by non-optimum humidity levels. Thus, it becomes necessary to control the amount of water vapour in your manufacturing unit.
Dehumidifiers –
Dehumidifiers effectively reduce the moisture present in the air. They consistently and precisely control humidity for favourable environmental conditions. This curbs the growth of corrosion and moulds. A dehumidifier draws the humid air over the coils, condenses the moisture and throws it back over the space by passing over the warm coils. This condensed water can be then drained with the help of a hose.
Industrial dehumidifiers find extensive applications in various industrial sectors. They are extremely essential during manufacturing processes as they remove excess moisture, prevent the growth of microorganisms and foul odour and protect the equipment.
