Warehouse and Storage Dehumidification

What is warehouse dehumidification used for?

Temperature isn’t the only threat to stored products.

Although some materials are prone to damage at high and low temperatures, the vast majority of product issues arise from uncontrolled humidity.

Common issues found within storage facilities are:

• Mold growth
• Condensation
• Degraded cardboard
• Corrosion of metals
• Product clumping/caking/breakdown
• Damage to electronic components
• Peeling labels

The materials being stored will ultimately determine the ideal humidity to be maintained. Storage dehumidification where multiple materials are being stored requires careful consideration to find the optimal balance.

Humidity control is specifically useful in uninsulated buildings as is permitted under Part L building regulations. Warehouse dehumidification is maintained against prevailing temperatures, meaning subject to the products acceptable temperature range heating and cooling is often not required.
