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 cold environments, moisture condenses or freezes on cold surfaces. This leads to ice formation, reduced cooling efficiency, safety hazards and increased defrost cycles.
Dehumidification removes moisture before condensation or ice formation occurs.
Refrigeration systems are designed primarily to control temperature. Moisture behaviour depends on the dew point of the air, which cannot always be controlled through cooling alone.
Adsorption dehumidifiers reduce the dew point and prevent condensation and ice formation.
High humidity in cold storage facilities can lead to:
- ice formation on floors and equipment
- reduced evaporator efficiency
- increased defrost cycles
- safety risks for personnel
- product quality issues
Controlling humidity helps maintain stable and safe storage conditions.
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.
