Using dehumidifiers in shopping malls in Southeast Asia is especially important due to the region's hot and humid tropical climate. Here's a detailed guide on choosing and using dehumidifiers effectively in this context:
High humidity (often 70–90%) can cause many problems, such as
Mold & mildew on walls, ceilings, and merchandise
Rusting of fixtures and escalators
Poor indoor air quality
Unpleasant odor
Increased HVAC strain and energy costs
1. Dehumidification Capacity
Large malls need industrial dehumidifiers or commercial-grade units.
For reference:
500–1,000 m² areas → 100–150 L/day units
Anchor tenant spaces or food courts → 150–300 L/day
Entire floors or central atriums → central HVAC-integrated dehumidification
2. Type of Dehumidifier
Refrigerant (compressor-based): Best for warm, humid climates like SEA. Ideal for most mall spaces.
HVAC-integrated systems: Ideal for large-scale humidity control across multiple zones. Preair ZETA series dehumidifiers have large capacity and can be connected to the original air pipes and drain pipes of the shopping mall. Order bulk dehumidifiers will get a wholesale price. Welcome to contact!
3. Energy Efficiency
Look for energy-efficient or inverter-driven units to reduce long-term operating costs.
Choose models with humidity sensors and automatic shutoff to avoid over-dehumidification.
4. Noise Level
Especially important in public areas and cinemas — select low-noise models (<50 dB).
5. Maintenance & Accessibility
Ensure easy access to filters and tanks for routine cleaning.
Prefer models with drainage pumps for continuous water removal to central drains.

Preair (for industrial/central systems, cost-effective)
Place dehumidifiers away from obstructions for better airflow.
Use in storage areas, food courts, basements, cinemas, and arcade zones.
Pair with smart building management systems (BMS) for centralized monitoring and control.
