Your process. Your requirements.

Built around the application.

Anytherm cooling dehumidifiers remove moisture by cooling process air below its dew point. A demister separates entrained droplets, and a reheating stage can raise the air temperature above the dew point to meet the downstream process requirements.

Features & options

  • Cooling with chilled water, glycol or refrigerants, according to the design.
  • Droplet separation with a stainless steel demister.
  • Optional reheating with steam or hot water.
  • Integration with other air handling and filtration stages.

A complete dehumidification arrangement

Cooling, demisting and reheating are considered together.

Matched to your cooling utilities

The coil and operating conditions are selected for the available chilled water, glycol or refrigerant.

Process air integration

We can combine drying with filtration, heating and additional air treatment stages.

Cooling, separation and reheating

The cooling stage condenses water from the air. Droplet separation and condensate handling are part of the arrangement. Reheating is selected where the process requires a warmer outlet while retaining the reduced moisture content.

Choose the drying method for the required humidity

Condensation drying depends on the available cooling temperature and inlet conditions. For lower moisture requirements, sorption dehumidification can be considered, including combinations with a pre-cooling stage.

Before your enquiry

Practical questions

Why reheat air after dehumidification?

Reheating raises the air temperature above the dew point when required by the process. It does not add back the moisture removed in the cooling stage.

When should sorption drying be considered?

Sorption drying is an option when the required moisture content cannot be achieved with the available cooling conditions. The selection depends on the complete process duty.

What should I include in my enquiry?

Include the air mass flow, inlet temperature and humidity, target outlet temperature and moisture content, and available cooling medium temperatures.
