Selection of Dehumidifier for your application
The table below provides a basic guide for selecting the right dehumidifier. If you require specific moisture load calculations, please contact us.
| Dehumidifier Type | Applications |
| Hetro Dehumidifiers | Hetro dehumidifiers only work when the room is air-conditioned. For room temperatures around 15-30 °C and a target humidity between 30% and 80% RH. At lower temperatures, getting lower humidity is the major load. Advantages: No water collection, wall-mount installation. |
| Compressor Dehumidifiers | Compressor dehumidifiers can be used in a room with or without an air conditioner. For room temperatures ranging from 10 to 35°C and a target humidity of between 30% and 80% RH. At lower temperatures, getting lower humidity is the major load. The continuous collection of water to be connected to a drain through a pipe or water collection tank needs to be emptied regularly. |
| Desiccant Dehumidifiers | Desiccant dehumidifiers are used in most of the applications, that require duct work and expensive solutions when compared to the above two types of dehumidifiers. |
Important parameters that decide the size of the dehumidifier
Room size: Measure your room size and number of doors and windows.
Target Humidity: Know your target humidity
Room Temperate: This will play major role, we always recommend maintain certain temperature in the room to maintain certain humidity. RH varies with room temperature.
Sources of Moisture: If you have open water sources like a pool of water or material with moisture, then you need a strong dehumidifier.
How well the room is sealed: Please ensure sufficient fresh air enters the room; otherwise, oxygen levels will decrease in the room, depending on the number of people in the room.
Number of persons working in the room: Each person in the room emits 3 to 6 Liters/Day, depending on the work he is doing. This is one of the key parameters to consider when selecting a dehumidifier.
How many times door openings/Hour: If the number of door openings is more, outside air enters the room, which will increase the moisture in the room if outside humidity is higher.
Any other sources of moisture in the room: For example, moisture from material, swimming pool, or moisture due to cooking, etc.
