Desiccant Rotors

In the 1950's Munters invented modern industrial dehumidification when it introduced the self-regenerating desiccant rotor, the heart of the dehumidifier. Today, Munters offers rotors with five desiccant formulations and is the acknowledged expert in the integration of rotors into dehumidification systems and air handlers.

A diagram illustrating the 'Desiccant Rotors' system. It shows two circular rotors, one labeled 'Reactivation Air' and the other 'Process Air'. Reactivation air enters a rotor, where moisture is removed, and dry air exits. Process air enters the other rotor, picks up moisture, and exits as wet air. A 'Drive Motor' is shown powering the rotors. The diagram highlights the 'Patented HoneyCombe® wheel design' which provides a vast surface area for desiccant.

Suggested Specification Guide

Dehumidifier shall be of a type proven in satisfactory operation for a minimum of ten years. Dehumidifier shall be of the non-cycling sorption type with a single desiccant rotary structure. The casing will be fabricated as a unitized body with welded aluminum construction for maximum strength and durability. Suitable access panels on both sides of the unit shall allow access for inspection or servicing without disconnecting ducting or electrical wiring. Airflow balancing dampers to be furnished. The dehumidifier shall be designed for continuous operation.

The rotary structure shall be a monolithic fabricated extended surface consisting of inert silicates reinforced with uniform diameter glass fibers for maximum strength. The fabricated structure shall be smooth and continuous in the direction of airflow without interruptions or sandwich layers which restrict airflow or create a leakage path at joining surfaces. Desiccant shall not channel, cake or fracture due to repeated temperature and moisture cycling. The materials of construction shall be non-toxic and NFPA 255-ASTM E84 compliant.

The desiccant wheel shall be a single piece for fast removal and simple handling. The desiccant wheel shall be supported by four rollers at the base of the unit so the wheel can be easily removed for maintenance by lifting it over the rollers using the drive belt. Center-axle support or any arrangement which requires disassembly of the support structure for wheel removal shall not be acceptable.

Design shall be modular in approach to readily allow connection to accessories such as face & bypass, pre- or post-cool modules.

Electrical components shall be UL/CSA recognized and wiring methods in accordance with the latest edition of the National Electric Code. Power supply shall be ___ Volts/3 Phase/___ Hertz.

Full face contact pressure seals shall be provided to separate the process and reactivation air streams and eliminate detrimental leakage of air or moisture with static pressure differentials of up to 8" of water gauge.

Dehumidifier shall be factory assembled, fully automatic, complete with HoneyCombe desiccant wheel, reactivation heaters, reactivation energy control system, roughing filters, motors, fans, non-racheting desiccant drive unit, automatic controller and all components' auxiliaries. Dehumidifier shall be functionally tested at the manufacturer's factory and shipped complete with all components necessary to maintain normal operation.

*Continual engineering and research for product improvement may result in design and specification changes. Consult factory for certified technical data.
