Dehumidifiers

Why Use A Dehumidifier?

There are a number of general reasons to use a dehumidifier, including:

• To prevent condensation, damp & mould
• To dry a room following a leak, flood, or construction & decorating work
• To preserve sensitive materials & equipment that could be damaged by high humidity levels
• To dry materials during industrial processes, manufacturing and food & drink production

Within each of these general uses, there are many individual, specific and niche applications. Our wide range ensures that we have a model suited to any application, in any environment.

Types of Dehumidifiers

We have both refrigerant and desiccant machines available to buy online. Refrigerant dehumidifiers - also known as compressor or condensation dehumidifiers - are the most common and well known type. They use a set of refrigerated coils to extract moisture from the air via condensation. They are cheap to run and suited to drying a wide range of spaces. They work best in temperatures above 15 degrees but some high quality models work effectively as low as 5 degrees. Below that temperature level, a desiccant unit is best. Desiccant models extract moisture from the air using an absorbent material on a rotary wheel, which absorbs moisture from the air. They are very effective in colder conditions - even well below freezing. So they are ideal for more challenging areas and harsher conditions.
