Dehumidifier Hire

Controlling the amount of moisture in the air can have many benefits. Building dryers and dehumidifiers are able to control damp conditions and condensation by taking moisture out of the air. Whether you are dealing with the aftermath of flooding or a disaster, in the construction industry, or reducing damp conditions in warehouses, a powerful dehumidifier hire solution can produce a fast and effective result. Dehumidifier hire is the best method of actively removing moisture in a controllable, efficient manner.

For the fastest drying time, using dehumidification in conjunction with heating and ventilation is the ideal method. During building construction dehumidifier hire 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. Concrete floors that are dried by dehumidifier hire will always settle at the correct moisture level.

Dehumidifier Hire - Understanding Condensation
Condensation is the process whereby water vapour in the atmosphere is returned to its original liquid state. When moisture in this form of occurs indoors, problems such as damp and mould area caused, which aggravate allergies and ailments such as Arthritis. Although such conditions are easily treated using dehumidifiers, the problem is not uncommon. Simply increasing the indoor temperature does not alleviate the problem long term, and is costly and energy intensive. Our dehumidifier hire solutions are the most energy efficient solution, saving you money on the costs associated with rendering structural or cosmetic damage caused by condensation and damp.

Dehumidifier Hire - How our dehumidifier hire solutions work.
The way our dehumidifiers works is similar way to the way condensation forms on a cold window. A dehumidifier contains a compact refrigeration system which makes it the coldest place in the house. Air is drawn into the cold dehumidifier where any moisture in the air condenses on the hydrophilic coils and is collected on the easy pour container.

Our dehumidifier hire solutions are fully self-contained, packaged units which incorporate an air circulation fan and a totally CFC free refrigeration circuit. The fan draws room air into the machine passing it firstly across a refrigerated heat exchanger (evaporator). This cools the air, causing the moisture in the air-stream to be precipitated onto the evaporator as water.

The electrical driving energy, the energy recovered from the air-stream and the latent energy gained from the dehumidification process is combined and fed to the refrigeration condenser which is thereby heated. The cool dry air from the evaporator passes across this heated condenser before being passed back into the room, dry and warm. The moisture collected from the process is fed away to waste.

Due to the unique nature of a refrigeration circuit, energy removed from the air during the dehumidification process is converted into useable heat. Typically, for every 1kW of electrical energy that a dehumidifier hire unit consumes, it will give out 2.5kW of heat energy. Thus by removing moisture from the air, rather than heating it to a high temperature, these dehumidifiers will dry in a gentle, more controllable manner. This alleviates possible material shrinkage and cracking problems associated with high temperature drying methods and saves substantial running costs.

Dehumidifier Hire - Selecting the right solution
Before you opt for a dehumidifier hire solution, you must first take an account of the environment and space you want to treat. You can review dehumidifier hire services and the features of the dehumidifiers before hiring but we recommend you speak to one of our dehumidifier hire technical experts first to get the most cost effective solution first. Some of the basics you need to consider are:

• What is the extent of humidity in the area you want to hire dehumidifier for?
• What is the size of the place you want to hire dehumidifier for?
• Is the building for which you want to hire dehumidifier occupied or empty?

Dehumidifier Hire - Building Dryers/Industrial Dehumidifiers
Our powerful and reliable dehumidifiers for hire can handle up to 890 litres dehumidification capacity a day, delivering high levels of drying power. Available in dual voltage 110v and 230v models, these robust building dryers are frequently used during building construction through the process of dehumidification to accelerate the rate of drying wet processes in a gentle manner, alleviating possible shrinkage and cracking problems. They provide cost-effective and efficient drying and may be used in conjunction with heaters to boost the drying process.

Dehumidifier hire from Andrews is nature's way of drying. Moisture is extracted from structures by means of water's natural tendency to release itself from wet surfaces into dry air. This process is not forced and dried areas are free of the surface damage often experienced with heating. It is also rapid and dries the full depth of the plaster or concrete. The use of building dryers and industrial dehumidifier hire is also an energy efficient method. These dehumidifiers offer a significantly lower cost alternative to drying by heating and ventilation. With the added convenience of less equipment on site and no fuel deliveries, combined with low supervision, 24/7 operation and no compromise on site security during overnight operation, dehumidifier hire from Andrews can offer to solve your drying problem and reduce your project costs.

Dehumidifier Hire - Refrigerant Dehumidifiers
Our powerful and reliable refrigerant dehumidifier hire solutions can handle up to 890 litres dehumidification capacity a day, delivering high levels of drying power. Refrigerant, which use an evaporator and condenser, are the most commonly used in the British climate, providing keep-dry areas up 13,600m3 and dry out areas up to 6,400m3.

Dehumidifier Hire - Desiccant Dehumidifiers
Our desiccant dehumidifier hire solutions use moisture-absorbing materials like silica gel, are for when very low relative humidity is needed, work is being carried out at extremely low temperatures, a low dew point is essential, or for when the unit has to be ducted into the area that needs drying.

Desiccant materials (such as silica gel) have a high affinity for adsorbing water vapour. Today, most desiccant dehumidifiers use the desiccant material in a 'rotor' form. Rotors are manufactured from alternate layers of flat and corrugated sheets impregnated with the active component (desiccant). This forms a vast number of axial air channels running parallel through the rotor structure. As air passes through these channels, moisture is transferred between the air and the desiccant.

When dehumidifying humid air for industrial processes, it is quite common to employ both pre-cooling (moisture removed as condensation) and a desiccant rotor (moisture removed by absorption) in the same air system. Generally our desiccant dehumidifiers comprise five major components:

• the component that contains the desiccant material (desiccant rotor), of which there are several types.
• a fan to move the air to be dehumidified (process air) through the desiccant rotor or material.
• a fan to move hot air (reactivation air) through the desiccant rotor or material.
• a heater to heat the air that is used to regenerate the desiccant material.
• a mechanical device to slowly rotate the desiccant rotor or material bed.

Our desiccant dryers have capacities up to 10,000 m3/hr. The units come equipped with mounted particulate and oil-removal pre-filters, automatic condensate drains and an after-filter that cleans outlet air down to .01 micron. Andrews Sykes dehumidifier hire solutions typically comprise all the necessary instrumentation and ancillary operations. Dehumidifier hire solutions can also be matched with air compressors and after-coolers, together or separately, to provide a total drying solution to your industrial and domestic needs.
