Dehumidification & Humidification
Dehumidification
A dehumidifier is an Air Conditioning Unit that has both its hot and cold coils in the same box. A Dehumidifier takes moisture out of the air by condensing it onto a cold surface. First, a fan draws the room's air over the cold coil of the air conditioner to condense the moisture. Next, the dry air passes through the hot coil to heat it back up to its original temperature. MSC Dehumidification Leicester are dehumidification experts and will be happy to answer any questions you may have.
If you have a room that is air conditioned, it should not need a dehumidifier as the air conditioner should be doing the dehumidifying for you. But if you don't have an air conditioner, a dehumidifier is at least some help in the heat.
Dehumidification is often a more effective and efficient method to protect buildings, equipment and valuable stock
Corrosion
Merchandise manufactured in materials such as iron and steel, demand low humidity. Vehicles, aircraft, machines and tools do not rust if the surrounding air is kept at a relative humidity below 50%.
Mould
Organic materials such as leather and paintings, contain micro-organisms. These can develop into fungus and mould, but will not occur if the relative humidity level is kept below 70%.
Bacteria
Bacteria requires a high humidity to survive and to multiply. If the humidity level of the surrounding air is kept below 50%, most bacteria will not survive. The limit is especially important when storing food products which are susceptible to bacteria.
Commercial Dehumidifiers from MSC Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Ltd are ideal for heavy duty dehumidification in relatively large areas. They operate in either moderately damp to extremely wet areas in need of moisture removal. Use them to improve storage conditions, maintain fresh locker rooms, safeguard stored goods from mildew, control the environment of computer rooms or to prevent water damage to building foundation and insulation, and prevent dripping condensation from pipes. Dual voltage models available
Humidification
Humidification is the artificial regulation of humidity in commercial environments and industrial environments. To be comfortable, people require a certain amount of ambient humidity -- not too high, and not too low. Adequate humidification in a manufacturing environment stabilizes moisture in wood, paper, and textiles, while preventing warping in glue joints.
In all environments, humidification reduces fire risk and static electricity while making the area feel comfortable.
