An industrial refrigeration dehumidifier works on the same principle as an air conditioner, using refrigeration to cool air and extract moisture. These systems are commonly used in industrial settings to control humidity levels in warehouses, factories, production areas, or any space where excess moisture needs to be removed. The process involves cooling the air to a point where water vapor condenses and can be collected or drained out.
Air is drawn into the industrial refrigeration dehumidifier through intake fans. This air typically has a high level of humidity (moisture content), which needs to be removed.
The warm, moist air enters the unit and moves over the evaporator coil (the cooling coil).
As the humid air passes over the evaporator coil, the refrigerant inside the coil absorbs heat from the air.
The refrigerant is evaporated by the heat from the air and changes from a low-pressure liquid to a gas (vapor).
The air temperature drops as it moves across the evaporator coil, and the air's moisture content (humidity) begins to condense.
As the air cools, the water vapor in the air condenses on the evaporator coil. This is because cooler air can hold less moisture than warm air, so the moisture in the air turns into liquid water (just like water droplets form on a cold glass of water).
The condensed water drips off the coils into a collection tray or drain pan.
The dehumidified air (now cooler and drier) passes over the condenser coils, which are warmer than the evaporator coils because they release the heat absorbed by the refrigerant.
The air is reheated slightly to bring it back to a more comfortable temperature before it is expelled back into the environment.
After the refrigerant has absorbed heat from the air and evaporated, it moves to the compressor, where it is compressed to a high-pressure gas.
This high-pressure gas is then sent to the condenser coil, where it releases the heat and condenses back into a liquid.
The liquid refrigerant passes through an expansion valve, where it reduces in pressure and temperature, entering the evaporator coil to start the cycle again.
The condensed water (now liquid) is collected in a tank or drained away through a hose.
The refrigerator dehumidifier will either have a manual drain (where the tank must be emptied regularly) or an automatic drain system (where water is continuously drained via a hose).
The dry, cooler air is then expelled back into the warehouse or space, lowering the overall humidity levels.
An industrial refrigeration dehumidifier works by cooling humid air, causing moisture to condense, and then removing the condensed water, thereby lowering the humidity of the air. This process is efficient for large spaces with moderate to high humidity and is used extensively in industries where moisture control is crucial to the integrity of products or equipment.
