Types of Dehumidifiers
Condensation-Type Mechanical Dehumidifiers
Condensation-type mechanical dehumidifiers are widely used in industrial applications to effectively control humidity. These devices remove moisture from the air by condensing it into liquid form. They are known for their high energy efficiency and performance, especially in medium-to-high temperature and relative humidity conditions.
This technology works by cooling the humid air through a heat exchanger, causing water vapor to condense on cold surfaces and turn into liquid. Mechanical dehumidification is more efficient in environments with temperatures above 20°C and relative humidity above 50%. NKT - TFT condensation dehumidifiers provide high performance for industrial, commercial, and residential applications. They are commonly used in warehouses, indoor swimming pools, hotels, and hospitals to control humidity and prevent dampness.
Silica Gel Rotor Adsorption Dehumidifiers
Silica gel rotor dehumidifiers work based on chemical adsorption to control humidity. These devices are designed for processes that require precise humidity control. The silica gel rotor absorbs moisture from the air, ensuring optimal humidity levels.
This technology is especially useful for environments with low dry bulb temperatures and very low dew points (down to -60°C). It allows dehumidification in challenging conditions, such as extremely low temperatures. NKT - Nem Kontrol Teknolojileri offers the TFT – AD/ADP (Air Dry) series to meet dehumidification needs in environments with temperatures below 0°C and low absolute humidity levels. Silica gel rotor dehumidifiers can be integrated into HVAC systems for permanent installations or used as compact, portable units.
Application Areas
Food Industry
In the food industry, dehumidifiers play a critical role at every stage of production. They help maintain product quality, prevent spoilage in storage areas, and ensure stability in manufacturing processes. By controlling humidity, food products can have a longer shelf life, and consumer trust can be maintained.
Pharmaceutical and Chemical Industry
Humidity control is essential in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries. Dehumidifiers are used to maintain the stability and quality of hygroscopic raw materials used in production. In pharmaceutical manufacturing, strict temperature and humidity control is crucial for product effectiveness and reliability.
Energy Industry
In the energy sector, electrical and electronic equipment, as well as turbines, must be protected from moisture-related corrosion. Dehumidifiers are used in electrical panels, generator rooms, steam and gas turbines, and other energy production equipment. They improve efficiency, extend equipment lifespan, and reduce energy consumption.
Military and Defense Systems
Dehumidifiers are essential for maintaining the proper function of military electronics and sensitive equipment. They are used in military vehicles, ammunition storage, armories, parachute towers, submarine pools, and weapon systems to ensure durability and reliability in military operations.
Automotive and Glass Lamination Industry
In the automotive industry, dehumidifiers are crucial for the production of vehicle components. They help protect electronic circuit boards, windshield production, bulletproof glass manufacturing, and tire storage. Dehumidifiers also improve the performance and durability of rubber seals and gaskets. In the glass lamination industry, they enhance product quality by maintaining optimal conditions for lamination materials, ensuring strong and durable glass products.
