Bry-Air Dehumidification Technical Resource Center
Designed to provide specific information on humidity, dehumidification processes, and steps necessary for selecting the appropriate dehumidifier for a specific application.

Condensation Prevention

When cold surfaces are surrounded by moist air, water vapor will condense on the surface if the dew point of the surface is lower than the dew point of the surrounding air.

This phenomenon know as “sweating” often leads to corrosion such as in water treatment plants or during surface preparation and coating of storage tanks in the chemical industry.

Without moisture control, moisture condenses on ice rink surfaces and softens the ice. Injection molding machines often use chilled water to remove the heat from the plastic during forming.Condensation can form on the molds causing disruption in the molding process.

Bry-Air desiccant dehumidifiers are used to blanket the surface with dry air resulting in condensation prevention and economic benefits to the end user. 

Condensation Prevention in the Meat Industry
Unwanted moisture is a problem in nearly all meat processing plants throughout the world.  Dangerous conditions, such as fogging, are the results of unwanted moisture forming on equipment, floors, ceiling, and walls.  Condensation happens in meat and poultry processing plants when warm humid air comes in contact with cooler surfaces such as those found in cut rooms, chiller rooms and packaging rooms.

Increased scrutiny by the USDA has resulted in companies actively searching for cost-effective solutions for fogging, icing, dripping, and other moisture related problems in order to comply with the USDA zero tolerance guidelines, and avoid the dreaded non-compliance report.

Condensation is the problem, and desiccant dehumidification is the solution.  Bry-Air’s desiccant dehumidifiers precisely control the humidity and dew point in the plant so that condensation cannot occur.  Contact our local representative in your area to assist you with your facility needs.  Locate a Rep.
