In terms of general ventilation for a manufacturing facility, successful work environments are ones one where employees are not feeling thermal discomfort and can be 100% productive throughout their shift. This type of environment is sometimes difficult to imagine in the summertime when the outside temperature is in the 90’s. However, a well designed ventilation …

In Part 2: How It Works of this series, we learned that the silica gel rotor was the key development which allowed for one continuous process with two separate air flows for moisture adsorption and silica gel regeneration. In Part 3, I’ll explain how we customize a desiccant dehumidifier for some common applications. Cold Storage/Freezer …

In Part 1, The Science Behind Desiccants, of this series, we learned that silica gel is a good desiccant because it has a large capacity to adsorb moisture and that it can be regenerated by using heat to remove the moisture. In Part 2, I’ll explain how a desiccant dehumidifier is designed to best utilize …
