Are you dealing with storing and transportation of medicines? If so you may have faced the problems of excess hum
The humidity has to be normally maintained below 60-65 % at all times for medicine storage purpose. Have you tested your humidity levels and found to be high? If so please read on.
Would you be interested in reducing the humidity? First of all, you would like to know more about the reasons for high humidity.
Ambient conditions affect humidity inside a warehouse. The outside temperature in the middle east countries soars up to 55°C in the summer season. The external atmosphere will have a certain amount of humidity. The temperature inside the warehouse is much lower than the external temperature. Usually, it is maintained at around 25°C. Hence, moisture always has a tendency to get into the lower temperature of the warehouse from the external air, thus increasing humidity levels.
Customers normally construct cold rooms inside a warehouse. The cold room has a low temperature between 2 to 8°C. Hence moisture from the outside air gets easily attracted into the cold room very quickly. For this reason, the humidity inside a cold room goes up to 80-90% or sometimes even up to 99%.
Have you analyzed your present humidity levels? That is the first step to do.
Prior to taking corrective actions, you have to find out present humidity levels inside your cold room or warehouse. In order to do so, you may place a temperature and humidity data logger inside the area and start recording. Let the recording happen for couple of days including holidays. It is ideal that a similar logger is placed outside the monitoring area. This is to facilitate comparison of internal variations with respect to external variations. In the case of the cold room, please place a data logger inside the warehouse somewhere near to the door of the cold room. In the case of warehouse, you can keep the data logger outside the warehouse so that the external humidity and temperature can be measured. After a week, you may download the data and variations in humidity and relation to the external conditions can be analysed.
Now you have a clear idea of the humidity conditions and need to take corrective actions if it exceeds your permitted levels through one or both of the below methods:
There are two types of de-humidifiers which can be used based on the area of application:
This operates using silica gel desiccants which absorb the moisture from the air. The intake air contains moisture which goes through the desiccant. The desiccant absorbs the moisture and the output air will be dry air. There are different models which can operate in ambient conditions of -15°C onwards. As the cold room temperature is normally around 5°C, we prefer to use these type of dehumidifiers for cold rooms.
Condensing type dehumidifiers operate by the principle of condensing the moisture and converting into water. The water will then be drained automatically or pumped through an automatic pump connected to the de-humidifier. Such type of dehumidifiers are for atmospheric temperature above 10°C and hence can be used for warehouses.
In order to decide the capacity of dehumidifiers, we would require the following details:

Hi Guys,
Chasing a dehum for a coldroom thats 5mx5m. The room is storing live bacteria and is maintained at 19-24c 40%RH.
Whats required to maintain this low humidity. There will potentially be up to 2 staff members working within the room too. Id idealy like to install the dehum externally and vent it in and out.
Thanks.
