Unexpected and excessive humidity can cause significant damage to products, materials, and properties, impacting business operations with long-term damage, waste, and even potential closures. LGR Dehumidifiers are an effective solution for managing humidity levels and preventing such issues.
Even when materials appear dry, hidden excess moisture can lead to problems such as:
- Molding
- Mildew
- Rotting
- Structural Damage
Removing moisture is crucial to maintaining your building materials, structures, and overall operations. So, what’s the answer to keeping humidity levels in an optimal range? An LGR Dehumidifier.
What is A LGR Dehumidifier?
LGR dehumidifiers use a refrigeration cycle, similar to an air conditioner, to remove moisture from the air. Unlike standard dehumidifiers, LGR units utilize an air heat exchanger that cools the air twice before it passes over the coils. This process enhances moisture removal efficiency, returning less-humid air to the environment and helping maintain lower humidity levels.
LGR dehumidifiers can help you achieve a relative humidity of 30% to 50%. Depending on your specific needs, you can set and monitor the desired humidity percentage, ensuring optimal conditions while the LGR dehumidifier operates.
Benefits of LGR Dehumidifiers
LGR dehumidifiers are ideal for humid locations or spaces where damp air tends to accumulate. They’re particularly effective in areas with limited ventilation, such as basements or attics, and for materials vulnerable to humidity damage. Key benefits of LGR dehumidifiers include:
- Acting as emergency restoration fans for water leaks, heavy rainfall, or flooding
- Drying wet materials like building contents, carpet, and flooring
- Eliminating muggy air and excess moisture to improve air circulation and ventilation
- Enhancing air quality for a more comfortable environment for employees or guests
Who Needs A Dehumidifier?
While LGR dehumidifiers are most commonly used in the restoration industry, they’re also highly effective in various settings, including:
- Pharmaceutical Applications
- Manufacturing/Food Processing Facilities
- Water Damage Restoration
- Construction Projects
- Residential and Small Commercial Buildings
In office buildings, for example, high humidity can cause issues like sticking materials or malfunctioning equipment. In restaurants with frequently opened freezers and refrigerators, a dehumidifier can help the air conditioner operate more efficiently. Additionally, some managers choose to run dehumidifiers alongside air conditioning units to maintain comfortable temperatures while reducing energy costs and extending HVAC lifespan.
The Problems Caused by Excessive Humidity
Excessive humidity can have detrimental effects on both property and operations. Key issues caused by high humidity levels include:
- Material Degradation: High moisture levels can lead to warping, swelling, or deterioration of sensitive materials.
- Mold and Mildew Growth: Prolonged exposure to moisture fosters mold and mildew, which can harm indoor air quality and damage structures.
- Equipment Malfunctions: Humidity can impact the performance of electronic and mechanical equipment, potentially causing costly repairs or replacements.
- Employee and Guest Discomfort: Excess humidity makes indoor spaces feel muggy and uncomfortable, reducing comfort and productivity.
