CH22

Hybrid adsorption dehumidifier for installations without regeneration air ducting   

The CH22 is part of the Cotes Hybrid product family — adsorption dehumidifiers designed to operate without external regeneration air ducting.

Unlike conventional adsorption systems, the CH22 uses a hybrid drying principle, combining adsorption dehumidification with internal condensation. Moisture removed from the rotor is condensed inside the unit and discharged as liquid water through a drain connection.

This allows installation in environments where external ducting is difficult or undesirable.

Explanation of Naming

The product designation follows Cotes naming logic:

  • C – Cotes adsorption platform
  • H – Hybrid operating principle
  • 22 – Capacity class within the Hybrid family

The Hybrid designation reflects the combination of adsorption drying and internal condensation.

 

Position within the Cotes Hybrid family

The CH22 represents the compact model within the Cotes Hybrid range.

The Hybrid family consists of two units:

  • CH22 – compact closed-circuit adsorption dehumidifier
  • CH26 – higher-capacity hybrid unit for larger air volumes

Hybrid units are typically selected where installation conditions prevent the use of conventional adsorption dehumidifiers that require regeneration air exhaust.

Typical constraints include:

  • Limited access to external walls
  • Retrofit installations in existing buildings
  • Noise-sensitive indoor environments
  • Technical rooms without ventilation infrastructure

Closed-circuit drying operation: Moisture removed from the rotor is condensed internally, eliminating the need for external regeneration air ducting.
Hybrid adsorption principle: Combines adsorption drying with condensation-based moisture removal on the regeneration side.
Simplified installation: Requires only a drain connection for condensate removal rather than external air ducting.
Compact system footprint: Designed for installation in confined technical spaces where duct routing is restricted.
Low-noise operation: Designed for indoor environments where noise-sensitive operation is required.
Stainless-steel cabinet construction: Provides durability and corrosion resistance suitable for technical and indoor environments.

When is a hybrid dehumidifier used instead of a conventional adsorption unit?
open close

Hybrid units are typically selected when regeneration air cannot be ducted to the outside. The CH22 allows adsorption drying in installations where external ducting is restricted or not possible.

 The regeneration air loop remains inside the unit. Moisture released from the rotor is condensed internally and removed through a drain connection. 

Hybrid systems still rely on adsorption drying using a rotor. The difference lies in how regeneration moisture is removed: via internal condensation rather than external exhaust air.

Humidity control reduces condensation, limits corrosion risk and stabilises insulation resistance during turbine restart after standstill.
