COLD STORE HUMIDITY CONTROL
Designed to prevent condensation and ice formation in refrigerated environments where moisture ingress occurs through door openings and air exchange.
ADSORPTION DRYING PRINCIPLE
Rotor-based adsorption drying removes moisture from the air independently of cooling systems.
LOW-TEMPERATURE OPERATION
Engineered for stable operation in cold storage environments where ambient temperatures may fall below freezing.
COLD-STORE OPTIMISED DESIGN
Additional insulation and internal design adaptations help prevent internal icing and ensure stable operation.

On this page we highlight some of the more frequently asked questions from customers.
When humid air enters a cold environment, moisture condenses or freezes on cold surfaces. This leads to ice formation, slippery floors, reduced cooling efficiency and increased defrost cycles.
Dehumidification removes moisture before condensation or ice formation occurs.
Refrigeration systems primarily control temperature. Moisture control in cold environments depends on the dew point of the air, which cannot always be managed through cooling alone.
Adsorption dehumidifiers reduce the dew point of the air and therefore prevent condensation and ice formation.
Excess humidity in cold stores can lead to:
- ice formation on floors and equipment
- reduced evaporator efficiency
- increased defrost cycles
- safety hazards for personnel
- product quality issues
Controlling humidity helps stabilise the cold storage environment.
Cold Store units are based on the same adsorption technology but are optimised specifically for cold environments. They include additional insulation and cold-environment adaptations and are delivered as fixed configurations rather than modular systems.
