Moisture is introduced to commercial cold stores and freezers from open doors, cleaning routines, people and produce. If it is not proactively removed, it will condense out as mist or liquid water in conditions above zero and freeze in sub-zero conditions. Ice can cause severe issues, including damage to produce, packaging and components within the storage facility, as well as increasing the risk of slips and skids for people and machinery. 

Dehumidifiers should be used to remove the moisture that is inadvertently added to the cold store or freezer environment. This will maintain a dry atmoshpere and significantly reduce the build-up of ice and reduce misting in the air.

Dehumidifiers can be located in the cold store directly, in an air lock area or outside the cold store. Different strategies will require different types of systems and can have implications for the amount of energy consumption and convenience of servicing.

Condair offers a complete range of cold store dehumidifier systems, suitable for any type of drying strategy, along with free expert advice on which system will be most suitable for any project.
