Used together with dehumidifiers, the affect of heat is beneficial because it increases the rate of evaporation.  As a guide, we indicate that the evaporative rate approximately doubles with an increase in air temperature from 20 to 30 degrees celsius, with a further doubling of the evaporation rate with an increase to 40 degrees celsius.

Dehumidifiers and fans themselves will generate heat, particularly in a compact space, but adding heat, especially in unheated properties, should be considered.  Please contact us for further help on 020 7760 7660 or email help@dehumidifier-rental.co.uk

We can calculate the heaters required as a function of heat loss from your building multiplied by the temperature uplift required.  We would also allow for additional heat needed to evaporate moisture from the wet building materials.

The inputs required for this would be:  The desired temperature to be maintained within the building; the lowest ambient (outside) temperature typical for the time of year; the direct heat loss from the overall surface area of the structure (we would need your building dimensions and construction detail) and approximate heat loss through natural or mechanical ventilation (we can estimate this).

Please contact us with details of your building so that we can calculate the heating equipment needed to boost the drying

Which dehumidifier do I need?

There are two main types of dehumidifier technology; refrigerant and desiccant with pros and cons for each machine, with differences in the extraction rates, optimum operating temperatures, running costs, size and noise levels.

Refrigerant Dehumidifiers vs Desiccant Dehumidifiers

Refrigerant dehumidifiers use a compressor to cool coils. When air passes over these cooled elements, water condenses and then collects in the tank. Generally, the advantages of refrigerant dehumidifiers are

- A greater extraction rate at the early stage of flood damage when there is a high volume of water

- Easier to set up and move around

Desiccant dehumidifiers work differently with air pulled in and passed through a desiccant wheel which absorbs the moisture from the air. The wheel is then heated so that the process can run again.

Desiccant dehumidifiers can take longer to set up and be less mobile, and they are more expensive to run. The benefits are:

- Strong drying power in cold conditions below 15°C

- Quieter operation than refrigerant dehumidifiers

For more information on how each type of dehumidifier works take a look at our guide.

 

Which type is right for me?

About 90% of our customers happily use the refrigerant dehumidifiers as they are very versatile and effective in a broad range of situations.

Please call us on 020 7760 7660 for more detail and guidance as to what will be suitable for your needs.
