Investments in the power industry are very high
The right climate needs to be guaranteed! At the lowest possible life cycle cost! This cost often includes consumed energy as a major item.
It is infrastructure and mechanical equipment that has a long expected life cycle and whose reliability is crucial to our society. The infrastructure itself is often exposed to the weather and the mechanical equipment is expected to operate over a long period of time and with a short start-up time.
To meet the high standards of reliability, it is necessary to avoid damage from moisture. Excessive moisture levels lead to corrosion and mold formation on buildings and equipment inside the buildings.
Dehumidification for district heating & cooling
District heating chamber
These chambers are often located underground with associated moisture challenges. Risk of corrosion and damage to the buildings and instrumentation. Here we recommend a FLEX dehumidifier which is equally energy efficient at all temperatures from -20C – +50C (see picture for typical installation).
Chambers for the distribution of cold
Often located underground and with challenges from moisture. Risk of corrosion and damage to buildings and instruments. Condensation easily forms on the cold pipes, so we recommend dew point control to ensure that the dehumidifier works at the right moisture level regardless of the temperature of the air.
Pipe galleries
Spaces with a high risk of corrosion and mold formation, often located underground. Low energy consumption is important for a low cost over time, but also a simple installation without complicated piping.
Power plants
Hydropower plants
Large infrastructural buildings, often partly below ground level with challenges of moisture to protect from corrosion, concrete blasting and instrumentation. Low energy consumption is important for a low cost over time, but also a simple installation without complicated piping.
Wind turbines
Tower foundations are often completely or partially below ground level or below sea level. It is a part of the building that needs to be protected from moisture penetration in order not to risk damage that could jeopardize the stability of the tower. But also to protect instruments and equipment inside the tower. Mold remediation in a wind turbine tower is very costly.
The FLEX dehumidifier is recommended here as it can be installed without piping and is equally energy efficient at all temperatures, even low ones. Connectable for easy monitoring and control!
