Desiccant Dehumidifiers

Desiccant Dehumidifiers.

Desiccant dehumidifiers utilize chemical attraction instead of condensation to remove water from the air. Because they are not limited by low dew point temperatures and when used properly they produce the lowest vapor pressure of any dehumidifier.


Desiccant dehumidifiers have many applications in restorative drying, but they are most commonly used to dry dense materials such as hardwood floor.

Desiccants do not collect water in a pan for automatic pump-out instead , they produce damp reactivation air, which must be vented outside the structure using temporary ducting. In some situations this venting results in a pressure differential in the drying area.

Hardwood floor Drying #2

Once it has been determined that the floor can be salvaged by in-place drying, the first step is to determine a dry goal for the hardwood and subfloor. Directing warm dry air under and between the boards, is the most effective eay to dry the hardwood. The wood is considered dry when:  

  • Hardwood and sub-sufaces are within 2-4 percentage points of normal EMC. ( Equilibrium moisture content)
  • Sub-sufaces below harwood are dried to within 2-4 percentage points of the harwood.
After the wood flooring has been dried to an acceptable moisture level, It is important to remind people to allow sufficient acclimation time before the floor is reinished.
