The LGR (Low Grain Refrigerant) dehumidifier and a low profile centrifugal air mover are like the Batman and Robin of moisture removal and restoration work. Here's when you should use them together and why:
Conditions to Use LGR Dehumidifiers and Centrifugal Air Movers
1. After Water Damage (Floods, Leaks, Storms)
LGR dehumidifier pulls moisture out of the air and materials even when the humidity is already low.
Low profile air mover pushes airflow under carpets, baseboards, and across surfaces to speed up evaporation.
The air mover kicks moisture into the air, and the LGR dehumidifier pulls it out, which makes a faster drying cycle.
2. In Tight, Low Clearance Areas
Crawl spaces, wall cavities, under cabinets, and under raised floors.
Low-profile design fits where standard blowers can’t.
Keeps air moving horizontally across wet materials without having to reposition constantly.
3. For Drying Carpets and Pads Without Pulling Them Up
"Floating" a carpet with air movers underneath and using LGR to remove the resulting moisture from the air.
LGR dehumidifiers are better than conventional ones because they can handle lower humidity and colder temperatures.
4. During Mold Remediation Projects
Mold loves moisture—this combo helps dry things quickly before mold spores can grow.
Especially in humid climates or post-remediation clearance jobs.
Why Choose an LGR over a Regular Dehumidifier?
LGRs can lower RH to below 40%, which is critical for structural drying. Preair LGR dehumidifiers can even lower the indoor humidity level to 20%. Preair is a professional dehumidifier manufacturer that provides high-quality LGR dehumidifiers for sale. Feel free to contact us for product details.
They work well even in cooler temperatures (like basements or crawl spaces).
Pulls more moisture with less energy, making them ideal for commercial restoration jobs.
