Industrial Dehumidifiers and Commercial Dehumidifiers

Industrial Dehumidifiers For Demanding Jobs

Maintaining the right humidity level is critical in many commercial and industrial environments. In areas with a high relative humidity, excess moisture in the air can damage equipment, compromise product quality, create unsafe working conditions, negatively affect employees and lead to costly downtime. At National Heater Shops, we stock a wide range of industrial and commercial dehumidifiers which are designed to provide reliable humidity control for these demanding professional applications. 

These dehumidifiers are ideal for large-scale operations - such as in warehouses, manufacturing facilities, food production, archives, swimming pools and factories amongst other places where humidity control is important.

Why Humidity Control Matters

Uncontrolled humidity can be detrimental in many industrial and commercial sectors. The excess moisture in the air can lead to condensation, corrosion, mould growth and can damage sensitive materials such as packaging, documents, machinery or stored items over time.

A dehumidifier can help to:

• Protect equipment and infrastructure 

• Prevent mould growth

• Prevent rust or other corrosion

• Prevent condensation 

• Enable faster drying processes

• Keep a consistent environment throughout manufacturing and production processes

• Improve workplace safety

Our commercial and industrial dehumidifiers provide dependable performance in these environments, helping businesses maintain the conditions needed to continue smooth and compliant operations. We only stock high-performance, well-trusted brands such as Dri-Eaz, Master, Calorex, Ebac and Woods amongst other quality makers. 

Choosing The Right Industrial or Commercial Dehumidifier

When choosing which dehumidifier is right for the job, several things should be considered. 

• Room or facility size

• Target humidity levels

• Airflow requirements 

• Installation constraints

• Power supply 

• Portability 

• Tank capacity 

• Integration with already existing systems 

There are two different types of dehumidifiers that differ slightly in process but deliver the same effective function. These two types of dehumidifier are called compressor dehumidifiers and desiccant dehumidifiers. Desiccant dehumidifiers are more effective in low temperature levels than compressor dehumidifiers, whilst compressor units are more energy efficient and work better in warmer environments.

Industrial and Commercial Dehumidifier FAQs

What are the differences between industrial and commercial dehumidifiers? 

Industrial and commercial dehumidifiers are both designed for large environments, but industrial units are often for much more demanding purposes. They are more likely to be used in manufacturing plants, warehouses and large facilities. Whereas commercial dehumidifiers are often used in offices, retail spaces, hospitality venues and smaller, possibly less demanding environments. 

Do industrial dehumidifiers need professional installation?

Some dehumidifiers operate on a plug and play basis, so require minimal setup. However, other dehumidifiers also require a fixed installation and have particular requirements. 

Certain models can also be fitted with continuous drainage to reduce the frequency of tank drainage. 

Are industrial dehumidifiers suitable for continuous operation?

Most industrial scale dehumidifiers are suitable for continuous use and operation in areas where humidity control is essential due to their engineering.
