Our equipment removes moisture from the air by means of a desiccant: a substance that adsorbs water (in a vapor state). This desiccant is impregnated into paper sheets which are then wound into a wheel (called the rotor). The rotor is divided into two sectioned air streams: the process section and the reactivation section. When the processed air is passed through the rotor, the moisture in the air stream is adsorbed by the rotor, leaving the dried air to be sent to the designated space. The water from the processed air now needs to be removed from the rotor in order to continue the indefinite process. The reactivation air provides this task. The air stream is heated to 270°-310° F. This heat passes over the rotor and sets free the bound water. This air stream is extremely humid and is ducted outside.
