Unheated premises
Efficient dehumidification for unheated premises
When buildings are ventilated, a certain amount of moisture is continuously added.
The humidity outside will affect the air inside. To avoid corrosion and mold, the humidity should always be kept below 55% relative humidity.
Airwatergreen energy-efficient dehumidifiers can be used in all parts of the building. Depending on the installation and purpose, different models are recommended. In attics, basements and crawl spaces, FLEX or REX are the best options. When installing dehumidification as part of the ventilation system, NEXT is usually the most relevant model.
All Airwatergreen dehumidifiers can dehumidify as effectively at low temperatures as at high temperatures. This makes it possible to minimize heating costs in buildings or parts of buildings that are only visited occasionally.
Below ground level
Challenges faced
Humidity in premises below ground level usually penetrates through floors and walls. If humidity levels are too high, mold and bacteria growth soon develops. Mold then risks spreading to the rest of the building, leading to deteriorating air quality and potentially to damage to the building.
Our solution
FLEX can be set to control against the "mold index" (LIM1) which gives an optimal control to the right humidity level depending on the temperature. Installation is simplified due to the fact that there is no need for unnecessary ventilation ducts. Dry air is distributed by the powerful built-in fan.
In larger rooms with larger air volumes and higher moisture loads, REX or NEXT may be the right choice.
Basement & Storage
Challenges faced
Moisture challenges in basements are often caused by moisture seeping up from the ground or by poorly insulated walls. Excessive humidity in basement spaces can cause corrosion and mold.
This can lead to damage in the concrete structure. If the concrete is too moist, rebar can start to corrode inside the concrete, reducing its strength and potentially leading to concrete cracking.
Our solution
We recommend that FLEX & REX is set to work against a relative humidity level of below 55% relative humidity to protect against corrosion and mold. Installation is simplified by the fact that we generate dry air on site and the dry air is distributed in the space of the powerful built-in fan. This makes it easy to install the dehumidifiers in existing buildings.
Product selection
If the moisture load is higher, we recommend REX which has 6 times the capacity of FLEX.
In cases where the moisture load is very high or if the dehumidification is to be connected as part of the ventilation system, we recommend the product NEXT.
All our models can be connected to existing climate control systems via Modbus.
