The proper application of a desiccant dehumidification system can sometimes have many complex operations happening simultaneously inside the system. These various operations can be intricate and can majorly influence the psychrometrics (the properties of the air that is supplied by the system.) That’s why at the heart of the PHOENIX AIR SYSTEMS™ desiccant dehumidification unit is a PLC control system, supplied as standard.

These standard 16 bit or optional 32 bit microprocessors possess the computing power to bring even the most challenging applications down to size. Since we use PLC systems as standard, our engineers work with these control systems daily. Phoenix Air Systems engineers have a wealth of knowledge and experience to provide PLC based controls that focus on the efficiency of the entire system’s operation, and still deliver air that is precise and to specifications. Psychrometric functions performed by the PLC to help the unit better manage energy and improve efficiency, helping to result in a smarter, more accurate application than traditional electro-mechanical designs.

A touch screen Human Machine Interface is provided on the unit control panel for single point tuning, calibration, monitoring, and alarm reporting of the system. Phoenix Air Systems can also provide a remote mounted touch screen HMI for remote monitoring in a control room. The control system can also be seamlessly integrated into a Building Management or Refrigeration Control System in most cases. Devices are mounted, wired and commissioned at the factory. In addition, our factory technicians provide turn key operation at start up. Our knowledgeable and experienced personnel can help provide assistance and expertise to create the controls solution suited for your application.
