Lightweight CL26
CL26
Lightweight adsorption dehumidifier for mobile and temporary drying
The CL26 is part of the Cotes Lightweight product family. It is an adsorption dehumidifier developed to meet requirements for low weight, safe manual handling, and easy transport, while maintaining Cotes’ proven rotor-based drying principle.
The designation CL26 follows Cotes naming logic: CL refers to Cotes Lightweight, and 26 refers to the rotor size used in the adsorption process.
Position within the Cotes Lightweight product family
Cotes Lightweight centres on the CL26 and represents a deliberate design approach compared to traditional fixed-installation Cotes units.
The product range was originally developed to meet strict HSE-related requirements around transport and handling, driven by wind-industry logistics and storage needs. The resulting design has since proven applicable in a wider range of temporary and fast-deployment drying tasks.
A key architectural difference is the cabinet concept: the CL26 is designed using high-performance plastic materials (including recycled plastic) rather than the traditional heavy-duty stainless-steel cabinet approach used in many fixed-installation Cotes platforms.
TECHNICAL DATA
LIGHTWEIGHT OPERATION
Developed to meet HSE-driven handling and transport requirements, with a low-weight cabinet concept designed for easy deployment and relocation.
APPLICATION KNOW-HOW
Originally developed for wind-industry logistics and storage, and now used across temporary drying, storage protection and fast-deployment humidity control scenarios.
ADSORPTION DRYING PRINCIPLE
Rotor-based adsorption dehumidification for reliable moisture removal across varying ambient conditions, independent of refrigeration-based cooling performance.
LIGHTWEIGHT FAMILY DESIGN
Built on the Cotes Lightweight concept, using high-performance plastic materials (including recycled plastic) rather than the traditional heavy-duty stainless-steel cabinet approach.

On this page we highlight some of the more frequently asked questions from customers.
The CL26 is designed for moisture protection and drying tasks where mobility, safe handling, and fast deployment are important—such as temporary drying, storage protection, construction-related drying, and similar use cases.
The Lightweight family was developed to reduce weight and support safe manual handling for transport and deployment. The CL26 therefore uses high-performance plastic materials (including recycled plastic) rather than a traditional stainless-steel cabinet approach.
Key parameters should be defined before selection:
- Required dry-air capacity at specified temperature and humidity conditions
- Ducting layout (if any) and external pressure requirements
- Electrical supply and installation constraints
- Site handling and placement requirements
Performance should be evaluated at documented reference conditions.
