How It Works
Three Steps to Dry Air
Humid Air Intake
Ambient air containing moisture is drawn into the unit via variable-speed fans. Pre-filters remove particulates before the airstream enters the desiccant rotor section, ensuring long-term rotor performance.
Desiccant Wheel Absorption
The process air passes through a slowly rotating desiccant wheel coated in silica gel or lithium chloride. Moisture molecules are adsorbed directly onto the desiccant matrix. A separate regeneration air stream — heated to 100-140°C — continuously reactivates the saturated desiccant, expelling the absorbed moisture to the outside.
Dry Air Delivery
The now-dry process air exits the unit at the target humidity set point — reliably delivering between 1% and 50% RH depending on the application. CONSORB and RECUSORB units can be ducted directly into the protected environment or used as standalone climate control units.
