Humidity control to reduce industrial frost and ice in cold stores
Cold storage warehouses and cold rooms face issues with frost and ice caused by ambient humidity. This affects storage, working conditions and energy efficiency. In an environment where the air is often saturated with moisture, DESSICA’s industrial air dehumidifiers offer an effective solution against industrial frost.
Common problems associated with humidity
- Frost : frost accumulates in negative chambers, making it difficult to read barcodes. It also damages the quality of packaging, particularly cardboard and paper.
- Slippery floors : moisture freezes on the floor, increasing the risk of slips and falls for operators, leading to accidents and sick leaves.
- Fog when doors are opened : when doors open, moist air enters in cold rooms, forming a fog that reduces visibility.
DESSICA Solutions against industrial frost
DESSICA air dehumidifiers for cold rooms, installed inside or outside the room, are designed for both positive and negative environments. Their action helps to:
- Space out defrost cycles and reduce energy consumption by maintaining low humidity levels.
- Improve working conditions and protect your employees by limiting frost and fog formation, thus reducing the risk of slips.
- Preserve product quality by preventing packaging degradation.
- Significantly reduce refrigeration energy consumption : by limiting ice build-up, air dehumidifiers optimise the energy efficiency of installations, leading to substantial energy savings and better management of operational costs.
Thanks to a range of air dehumidifiers, DESSICA offers a solution to dry the air in cold storage warehouses. This is ideal for industries that store frozen products, to maintain optimal efficiency and a safe working environment, thereby preventing industrial frost.
Our air dehumidifiers for refrigerated cold rooms are designed to be installed outside the negative room in a positive temperature environment above 5°C (e.g., dock, rooftop rooms…).
The air dehumidifiers for cold rooms are intended to be installed inside the negative temperature chambers.
Industrial cold rooms, whether positive or negative, often face frost issues caused by ambient humidity. This frost damages the storage of frozen products. It also affects packaging quality and the efficiency of the logistics chain. DESSICA addresses this issue by offering a solution to dry industrial air, which reduces humidity, prevents ice formation, and maintains a dry environment.
The opening of cold room doors often causes the infiltration of warm, humid air, which promotes frost formation. To counter this, the DESSICA solution combines the action of an air dehumidifier and an air curtain to maintain a low humidity level. This combination reduces residual humidity around the doors and minimises temperature fluctuations, thus ensuring an optimal environment for cold storage.
