Drying By Dehumidification
Dry air is a laboratory phenomenon. Atmospheric air will always contain moisture, often in quantities that prevent natural ventilation from providing an effective answer to drying buildings. Whether it be during construction, after fire or flood damage, even after a period of disuse, moisture will build up within buildings, often with damaging consequences. These problems can be disguised by the use of heat or ventilation (when the weather is occasionally suitable) but are unpredictable, slow and potentially energy inefficient.
Dehumidifiers are the only method of positively removing moisture in a controllable, efficient manner from a space, and at a speed that can be dictated to suit the application.
During building construction dehumidifiers can be used to accelerate the rate of drying wet processes such as concrete floors and plaster, not only allowing the construction work to proceed more rapidly but in a way that ensures the drying will not encourage cracking and distortion. Further, concrete floors that are dried by dehumidifiers will always settle at the correct moisture level.
