Both desiccant dehumidifiers and mechanical refrigeration systems can remove moisture from the
air, so the question is which type is best suited for a given application? There really are no simple
answers to this question but there are several generally accepted guidelines which most dehumidifier
manufacturers follow:
In general, Bry-Air representatives should be looking for applications which require humidity
control at levels below 45% RH. Each month we send you an Application Update which discusses
various applications which require humidity control below 45% RH.
The most common applications requiring this 45% RH level or below are: Pharmaceutical, Food and
Candy, Chemical Laboratories. Automotive, Military, and Marine Storage.
Most applications requiring 50% RH or higher are probably not worth expending a whole lot of
effort on because they can usually be achieved through mechanical refrigeration. In some cases,
however, the use of a desiccant system can reduce operating costs of the existing refrigeration
system. For example, when treating ventilation air in building HVAC systems, the dehumidification
of the fresh air with the desiccant system decreases the installed cost of the cooling system, and
eliminates deep coils with high air and liquid-side pressure drops. This saves considerable fan and
pump energy as well.
