Modular C30
C30E
Electric adsorption dehumidifier
The C30E is a modular adsorption dehumidifier within the Cotes Modular family. It is designed to operate as a configurable core unit and can be combined with Modular system extensions such as heat recovery and condensation modules, depending on project requirements.
The unit uses electric regeneration and is intended for industrial and commercial humidity control applications where stable low-humidity conditions are required.
Position within the Cotes Modular family
The C30E shares the standardized cabinet architecture, airflow principle and engineering logic common to all Cotes Modular units.
As part of this platform approach:
- Functional extensions are implemented as defined modules
- Heat recovery can be added as a separate HR module
- Condensation (liquid water removal) can be implemented via the LK module
- The base unit remains mechanically and functionally consistent across configurations
Practical consequence:
- The C30E can be configured project-specifically without changing the core unit architecture
- Energy optimisation or liquid water handling are implemented as separate modules, not integrated into the base cabinet
- The expansion concept follows the standard Modular interface logic
This positions the C30E as a flexible core unit within the Modular platform, designed to integrate with defined accessory modules while maintaining consistent engineering principles across the product family.

On this page we highlight some of the more frequently asked questions from customers.
The C30E is a standard electric regeneration unit within the Cotes Modular platform.
Unlike specialised variants with integrated systems (such as built-in heat recovery), the C30E is delivered as a configurable core unit. Functional extensions — such as heat recovery or condensation modules — are implemented as separate Modular add-ons.
This means the base unit architecture remains consistent while allowing project-specific configuration.
Yes.
The C30E follows the Modular expansion concept. Defined accessory modules — such as:
- Heat Recovery (HR)
- Condensation (LK)
- Other airflow or system extensions within the Modular interface logic
— can be added depending on project requirements and engineered limits.
The core cabinet design remains unchanged when modules are added.
No.
Heat recovery is not integrated into the base C30E unit.
If heat recovery is required, it is implemented as a separate Modular HR module. Performance impact and energy reduction depend on operating conditions and must be evaluated at documented reference conditions.
Key parameters should be defined before selection:
- Required dry air capacity at specified temperature and humidity conditions
- Airflow and external pressure requirements
- Available electrical supply and installed heater capacity
- Installation environment and service access
Performance and energy consumption must always be evaluated at documented reference conditions.
The base C30E is designed for adsorption dehumidification.
If process conditions result in condensation, a defined condensation module (LK) can be added. The need for condensation handling must be evaluated based on inlet air temperature, humidity and cooling conditions.
The achievable outlet humidity depends on:
- Inlet air conditions
- Regeneration temperature
- Airflow
- External pressure
Selection must be based on performance data at documented reference conditions. The C30E is not automatically suitable for all low dew point applications without verification.
