CAW supply desiccant dehumidifiers. A desiccant dehumidifier is a type of dehumidifier that removes moisture from the air using a desiccant material instead of a refrigeration cycle. It is particularly effective in low-temperature and low-humidity environments where traditional refrigerant-based dehumidifiers may struggle to operate efficiently.

Using a dehumidifier on water sports equipment offers several advantages, including:

  1. Prevents Mould and Mildew – Reduces moisture build-up, preventing mould, mildew, and bacteria from growing on wetsuits, life jackets, and other gear.

  2. Extends Equipment Lifespan – Minimizes wear and tear caused by excessive moisture, helping preserve the quality and durability of gear.

  3. Eliminates Musty Odours – Removes damp, unpleasant smells that can develop on stored equipment.

  4. Speeds Up Drying Time – Helps dry wetsuits, paddles, and other gear faster, making them ready for the next use sooner.

  5. Prevents Corrosion – Protects metal components, such as zippers, buckles, and paddle shafts, from rust and degradation.

  6. Reduces Indoor Humidity – Keeps storage areas, garages, or boat cabins dry, preventing excessive moisture from affecting other items.

  7. Improves Hygiene – Reduces the build-up of bacteria and allergens, making the gear safer and more comfortable to use.

  8. Enhances Comfort – Ensures that water sports equipment is dry and pleasant to wear, improving overall user experience.

How does it work?

Moisture Absorption:

  • Air is drawn into the dehumidifier and passed over a rotating wheel or drum coated with a moisture-absorbing desiccant (such as silica gel).

  1. Moisture Removal:

    • The desiccant absorbs moisture from the air, drying it before it is released back into the room.

  2. Regeneration (Drying the Desiccant):

    • A separate warm air stream is used to heat the desiccant, releasing the absorbed moisture, which is then vented outside or collected.

  3. Continuous Operation:

    • The wheel continuously rotates, ensuring a constant drying process.
