Which Type of Warehouse Requires an Industrial Dehumidifier?

The types of warehouses that require the use of industrial dehumidifiers typically have the following characteristics: sensitive storage items to humidity, high environmental humidity or poor ventilation conditions, or high requirements for product quality. List the common types of warehouses that require industrial dehumidifiers and explain the reasons:

1. Electronic product warehouse

Why is the industrial dehumidifier necessary? Electronic components such as chips, circuit boards, sensors, etc. are highly susceptible to moisture, oxidation, and corrosion, which can affect their functionality.

Dehumidification target humidity: 40% -50% RH (relative humidity)

2. Medical warehouse

Why is the warehouse dehumidifier necessary: Drugs and raw materials are sensitive to humidity, which may cause deterioration and failure, especially for traditional Chinese medicinal materials, capsules, and powders.

Dehumidification target humidity: 45% -55% RH

3. Food warehouse

Why is the dehumidifier necessary: Moisture can easily breed mold and bacteria, causing food to become moldy and spoiled.

Special scenario: Sugar, powder, dry goods, tea, spice warehouse

Dehumidification target humidity: 50% -60% RH

4. Paper products/printed goods warehouse

Why is it necessary? Moisture on paper can cause wrinkling, mold growth, and fading, affecting sales or printing accuracy.

Dehumidification target humidity: 45% -55% RH

5. Wood or furniture warehouse

Why is the dehumidifier necessary: Wood that is damp can expand, deform, and mold, affecting structural stability and aesthetics.

Dehumidification target humidity: 50% -60% RH

6. Textile/clothing warehouse

Why is the dehumidifier necessary: Excessive humidity can cause fabric to mold, discolor, and lose its odor, especially in southern or coastal areas.

Dehumidification target humidity: 50% -60% RH

7. Hardware/mechanical parts warehouse

Why is the dehumidifier necessary: Metal parts are prone to moisture and rust, which affects accuracy and service life.

Dehumidification target humidity: 45% -55% RH

8. Tobacco/Alcohol Warehouse

Why is the dehumidifier necessary: Tobacco storage requires constant humidity, otherwise it will lose its flavor and aroma; Alcohol, especially wine, has very strict humidity control.

Dehumidification target humidity: 60% -70% RH (alcohol), 50% -60% RH (tobacco)

9. Military/aviation parts warehouse

Why is it necessary? High precision parts require anti-corrosion and rust prevention, and strict storage environment requirements.

Dehumidification target humidity: 35% -45% RH

10. Archive/Book Warehouse

Why is it necessary? Mold on archival paper can cause irreversible damage, and libraries and museum warehouses require constant humidity.

Dehumidification target humidity: 45% -55% RH
