AD 270-1700 Industrial Dehumidifier
Desiccant Rotor
Silica gel rotor adsorption dehumidifiers designed for mid-scale industrial process and storage applications. With a self-regulating PTC electric regeneration system and AISI 304 stainless steel housing, they deliver continuous humidity control from −20°C to +40°C across a wide airflow range from 270 m³/h to 1,700 m³/h.
Adsorption Technology
AD series units operate on an adsorption principle using two separate air streams. Process air passes through the silica gel rotor; the silica gel absorbs water vapour from the air, drying it. As the rotor slowly turns, regeneration air is directed in the opposite direction: heated to +100°C by electric heaters, this airstream strips the absorbed moisture from the rotor, restoring its initial adsorption capacity. The moisture-laden regeneration air is then discharged to the outside.
Humid air passes through a G3 filter and is directed to the silica gel rotor; the fan drives the airstream using negative pressure.
The silica gel rotor adsorbs water vapour from the process air; the dried airstream is delivered to the process or conditioned space.
PTC electric heaters raise regeneration air temperature to ~100°C; this hot airstream passes through the rotor in the opposite direction, stripping and expelling moisture.
The rotor slowly rotates between adsorption and regeneration zones, providing uninterrupted dehumidification.
Materials & Structural Features
AISI 304 stainless steel; high resistance to corrosive environments and industrial process conditions. Top panel is removable for maintenance.
High-efficiency silica gel rotor with a honeycomb structure of corrugated heat-resistant sheets, providing a large adsorption surface and low air pressure drop. Operates undamaged in saturated air conditions; non-combustible and non-flammable.
Gearmotor and belt drive system; rotates the rotor at a slow, stable speed. Rotor shaft is fitted with ball bearings and manufactured from steel.
Self-regulating PTC element electric heating coil; maintains constant surface temperature and maximises energy efficiency.
Process and regeneration fans directly coupled to IP55 / ISO F class single-phase or EC motors. Manual speed adjustment via potentiometer available on AD420 and above.
Separate G3 filters on both process air and regeneration air inlets.
Panel compliant with European standards; main switch, integrated humidity sensor and display, manual/automatic mode.
Standard spiral duct compatible connections; process air inlet, dry air outlet, regeneration air inlet and wet air outlet.
