OVERPRESSURE CLIMATE CONTROL
Maintains controlled internal pressure to reduce uncontrolled ingress of humid and salt-laden marine air.
COASTAL APPLICATION KNOW-HOW
Developed for structures exposed to marine humidity, salt aerosol and pressure-driven air exchange.
ADSORPTION DRYING PRINCIPLE
Rotor-based adsorption technology removes moisture from the internal air column and helps prevent condensation.
DESALTING FUNCTION
By filtering incoming air and continuously drying the internal air column, the system progressively reduces salt contamination inside the structure.

On this page we highlight some of the more frequently asked questions from customers.
In coastal areas, waves and strong winds generate salt aerosol that becomes suspended in the air. This salt-laden air can enter buildings and technical installations through ventilation openings, pressure differences and service access.
Combined with humidity, salt accelerates corrosion and electrical degradation. Desalting reduces salt accumulation inside the structure and helps stabilise the internal environment.
Maintaining slight internal overpressure limits the amount of external air entering the structure. This reduces both humidity and salt ingress and lowers the drying load on the system.
Typical applications include coastal technical buildings, port infrastructure, lighthouses, marine installations, vessels and other nearshore structures exposed to salt and humidity.
Both systems apply the same physical principles of overpressure, filtration, drying and desalting. The difference lies primarily in the application context.
CWO systems are designed specifically for offshore wind turbines, while the Desalter family is intended for coastal and maritime infrastructure outside the wind turbine environment.
