The Importance of Clean, Dry Air
Many commercial, industrial and institutional applications require clean, dry air to help ensure the safety and quality of processes, environments and finished products. PHOENIX AIR SYSTEMS™ desiccant dehumidification systems can help meet these requirements through the removal of particulates, pathogens and odor, as well as through humidity and temperature control.

In sensitive applications, even the smallest amount of moisture can adversely affect the environment. To help control moisture, proper sizing, construction and choice of options are all important considerations.

The desiccant dehumidification system blows air through a rotating desiccant wheel that absorbs moisture. The desiccant wheel, constructed from a silica impregnated media, is divided into two sections: the process section and the reactivation section. The desiccant wheel continually rotates through the moisture-laden process air stream, retaining water droplets on the media. The media then rotates through the reactivation section, releasing the absorbed moisture into the superheated air stream, which is then exhausted outdoors.

Composed of 98% inorganic content to withstand high heat, the PD-Series desiccant wheels are one of the industry’s leaders in terms of density, desiccant load and pressure drop ratings. In addition, the wheel and wheel frame are built with durable components.
