Explanation of result
This means that (above calculated
capacity) liter of water has to be
removed from the air to achieve a
humidity of (above desired
humidity) under the present 
conditions given by you. Hence

while selecting you have to select a
dehumidifier accordingly. For all de
humidifiers, the capacity is defined
as liter per hour, kg per hour etc.

How to select a dehumidifier?

These steps are mainly for commercial applications.

1. Collect the details on Room size, current temperature, current relarive

humidity, desired relative humidity and air exchange rate if you have air
conditioners.
2. Use our free software to calculate the required capacity of dehumidifier.

The above calculation sheet gives you the exact size of the dehumidifier required
for your application. You are entering the input values of present conditions of
your home, office, warehouse, cold room, walk in freezer etc. The result calculated
give you the exact capacity of the required dehumidifier. If the area is big, it is
better to select multiple dehumidifiers so that air circulation will be better. Also,
this will help in faster dehumidification. 

Present humidity level % RH

You have to input the present levels of humidity in this column. In order to
calculate the worst possible scenario, you have to enter the highest readings
normally recorded. If you want accurate results especially for industrial and
commercial applications, you may take the actual readings using a
hygrometer. If you are designing a warehouse with opening to the
atmosphere, you can easily check the data from your local weather reports.
However if you are designing for an office, you will need to measure the
exact readings. However, for small office and homes, you may need such 
exact readings. 

Desired humidity %RH

This is the humidity level you

need to achieve by installing
the dehumidifier. For a home
or office, you will need to
maintain a humidity in the
range of 40% to 60%. If you
want to store medicine inside
a walk in freezer, you will need
to maintain a maximum humidity of 60-65%. You can input this value in this
column.

Now you will see the results. The results are given in kg/hr or liter per given. Also,
the result is given in US pint/hr. This is the amount of water to be removed from
the air per hour. Capacity of a dehumidifier is defined by the amount of water
it removes per hour or per day. The capacity is also given for a full day. Now you 
can select a suitable dehumidifier, which meets this capacity.

come in various sizes and shapes to
suit your ambience. For your
convenience we have also listed the
recommended room size for these
models. In such cases you do not
have to necessarily do the above calculation. However for exact calculations, you
may calculate the required capacity as above. 

Basement dehumidifier

Basements always have a problem

of high humidity since moist air is
heavy and tends to settle as low as
possible. Also it will not rise
automatically to the ground level. If
humidity is not controlled in time, it
will cause huge damage. Please see more on our basement dehumidifiers.

Commercial dehumidifiers

These dehumidifiers are for various industrial and commercial applications.

Applications include warehouses, factories, restaurants, hotels, auditorium,

Condensation principle is
condensing the water of the
atmosphere and converting into

dehumidifiers.

Desiccant dehumidifiers 

This is the second type of dehumidifiers, which operates using desiccants. They


use a moisture absorbing material such as silica gel to absorb the moisture. This
will not produce water. These are especially useful for low temperature below
10°C. Please read more on desiccant dehumidifiers.
