Engineered Air Solutions offers a full range of CFM and “dryness” in our offering!
Our equipment can be standalone, slipstreamed or a complete package to accommodate cooling, heating and humidification if need be.
We have done small spaces with as little as 50 cfm of 10 grain discharge air (and can go lower)!
We can do 10,000 cfm of air or more!
As a friendly reminder, one should always consider the dew point or absolute humidity when deciding on equipment. Too many times relative humidity is the language used, and it definitely makes things more complicated than it needs to be. Example- if the spec calls for 40% RH +/- 5% and the temperature is 70F +/- 2 degrees, that’s essentially saying you can be as low as 68, 35% RH and as high as 72, 45%. That’s a dewpoint ranging from 39.4 Ft 49.5F. That is a huge range with a big cost ramification! In the above case, that’s the difference between using a high-end mechanical dehumidifier (like our Addison HVAC unit with modulating compressor and modulating Hot-Gas Reheat) vs A NovelAire DES/DX system. For the same cfm, there is a 40% price difference!
In many situations, we can utilize the existing air conditioning system to do the heavy lifting, as traditional HVAC typically brings the air down to ~55 dewpoint. Using a Desiccant dehumidifier, we can then drop the moisture as low as required and using it as precool to offset warm discharge. Another thing to remember for desiccant dehumidification: a rule of thumb is approximately 1 degree of temperature rise for every degree of dewpoint suppression.
Some other rules of thumb you may find helpful:
- 1050 BTU’s of latent capacity= 1# moisture removal
- 1 pint of moisture = ~8# water.
- Converting pints/day to #/hour?… divide pints/day by 24! (ex 24 pints per day = 1#/hour)
- 7000 grains = 1# moisture
Here are some options that we have to offer:
- 48 dew point and higher: Our Addison line utilizing Modulating compressors and Modulating Hot-Gas reheat can allow lower mechanical dewpoints and full HVAC ranges.
- 40 dew point – NovelAire DES/DX uses a compressor and desiccant wheel to dry the air, precooling it and using the condenser gas to regenerate the wheel. A genius and simple approach to deliver dry neutral air. CFM starts at 300 and goes up. Larger packages can utilize ERV’s for high outside air and units can be modular to accommodate your needs (i.e. Dehum only vs full HVAC and humidity)
- Below 40 dew point, low CFM: Bry-Air MiniPacs take up small footprints and can deliver the low dew points required using electric heat for regeneration. (75-2500 cfm)
- Below 40 dew point, high cfm. We offer multiple options with multiple manufacturers to configure a custom approach for your specific project at the proper budget and lead time. Call for more information!
Below are brief overview of what our Brands represent for Commercial and Industrial Dehumidification Applications. Allow us to assist you in deciding the best match:
NOVELAIRE:
Novelaire builds competitive high quality built to order commercial grade desiccant dehumidifiers. The desiccant wheel is very efficient and effective at removing moisture from the air. While this approach is associated with highly industrial processes (10 grains, or example 70F,10% RH)), commercial grade is more in the range of 20-40 grains (such as 70F, 40%RH). Units come in small and large sizes and can be recirculating or 100% OA with energy recovery. In some cases these units qualify for NJ energy rebates.
While NovelAire has some electric regeneration units, their power of offering is their DEX/DX Technology! Utilizing a standard refrigeration cycle, the DES/DX technology uses the evaporator coil to precool the air and the warm condensing coil to regenerate the wheel. The result is a single package delivering neutral 40F dewpoint air with unbelievable efficiency. Our DES/DX300 is only 30″x40″ x20″ and can pull 8.5# water per hour. Installation takes just a few hours with 4 flex connections, single phase power connection, drain and humidistat. It has saved the day in Gyms, Labs, Preventing Mold, Warehouses and More. The DES/DX technology is available up to 15000 cfm as a complete packaged unit (again, with winter heat, filtration, etc)
We also can help you in an “Industrial” process requiring greater dehumidification power (10 grains!). In this case, we would steer your project into a more traditional active desiccant with more robust regeneration. To achieve better dehumidification, we would use a gas heater (direct fired is most common, but indirect is available for class 100 spaces), steam heat, or electric heat. We can provide the package with Pre-cool and/or Post Cool as required.
Again, we can provide just the dehumidifier or an entire HVAC package for all the temperature and humidity control.
BRY-AIR:
For over 80 years Bry-Air has been a leader in dehumidifying with a silica gel desiccant. As a global company with headquarters in Sunbury OH, Bry-Air offers industrial solutions to bring any amount of air at any inlet down to any humidity level. “0 grains or lower”. Precision can be utilized by modulating the regeneration heat source, bypass dampers of the wheel itself
Bry-Air, unlike some of their competitors can incorporate the condensing units for Pre-Cool and Post Cool on 1 skid to allow a 1 rig, 1 power connection and zero field refrigeration requirements. The factory offers full DDC controls and Factory direct startup and local support. Skids can also have higher end filtration, primary heat and humidification options as well.
Regeneration can be achieved by using direct or indirect gas fired heat, house steam, or electric Heat.
Need just the “preassembled wheel”? BryAir offers both a complete cartridge component to insert into your AHU or opt for our MiniPac
- Our DC series allows us to provide a module without the fan to be added to a custom air handler (existing or new).
- The Mini-Pac is an industry leading off the shelf extremely compact unit utilizing electric regeneration. CFM ranges from 50-1800 cfm , 3#-55# with discharge grains as low as 12 (conditions permitting) NOW AVAILABLE FOR IMMEDIATE SHIPMENT!
- Our VFB Series (300-30,000 cfm) is built to order with premium features including all welded aluminium construction, vapor proof gasketing, hinged access doors, optional primary heat and filtration, and more.
- The Bry-Air Eco Dry system takes advantage of variable loads and maximizing energy consumption by varying the wheel speed, regeneration output and supply air flow to reduce the input kw by as much as 45% using its unique algorithms. This system is available on the VFB and DC series.
Remember, Units can be Spot Dehumidifiers or Complete Packages!
