Unique by Design

New and Proven concept

 ISO 9001 COMPANY

Operating Principle
BRY-AIR Dehumidifier removes moisture through a
process of continuous physical adsorption. The moisture
is adsorbed in the dehumidification sector of the unit by
the rotating, desiccant filled bed and is expelled in the
reactivation sector on a continuous basis.

BRY-AIR Compacts employ a BRY-AIR MVB is a

flat bed design. Being revolutionary new concept,
relatively small size and light incorporating modular
weight, numerous mounting verticle beds (MVB) located
positions are possible floor, on a rotating carousel.

Cold Rooms or Cold Chambers

specially designed sheet metal or polyurethane
refrigerated chambers in which required temperature
and humidity conditions are maintained.
Major application
Food and perishable
preservation (hotels,
restaurants,
industrial canteens),
Pharmaceutical
Medicinal and chemical storage
Blood and vaccine storage
Mortuaries
Electronics component storage
Seed storage
Sericulture research and testing institutes and
many more.

In most of these cold

chambers, humidity
control is achieved by
incorporating Bry-Air
dehumidifiers. These
dehumidifiers maintain
the required humidity conditions between 30% to
40% RH at 10-15C or as may be required by the
component stored or manufacturing.
