Background information
When meat is stored before and after cutting, a lot of moisture is released from the meat. Since the temperature in the refrigerated storage rooms used is around +4 0C, there is an increased relative humidity level in the room with condensation and risk of mold formation. As food is being handled, it is important to manage these risks. In addition, icing often occurs on refrigeration units, which results in increased energy consumption and the need for regular de-icing.
What problems did the Airwatergreen dehumidifier solve?
The Airwatergreen dehumidifier used by model FLEX is equally energy efficient at all temperatures down to freezing, making it very suitable for this type of installation. FLEX has brought the relative humidity level in the room down to below 55% RH, which means that the cold room is kept dry and the risk of mold formation is managed.
Installation was very simple, with the machine fixed to the wall to keep the floor clear. The condensed water is led through a hose down to the nearest floor drain.
Benefits of using awg products vs. doing nothing?
Compared to other technologies, Airwatergreen's technology was the most economically advantageous, both from an installation and a life cycle perspective. The fact that the dehumidifier is just as effective down to minus degrees is a big advantage. The ease of installation and low energy consumption made the decision easy.
