Why Are Industrial Dehumidifiers so Expensive?

An industrial-grade dehumidifier is a specialized device used for dehumidification in industrial environments, with a capacity ranging from 100-500 liters per day. It has the characteristics of efficient dehumidification, strong stability, and easy operation, and is widely used in factories, warehouses, laboratories, and other places. The price of an industrial dehumidifier varies greatly due to its components, dehumidification capacity, energy efficiency, and functionality, with a unit price fluctuating around $400-1000. This article will introduce the composition, advantages, usage scenarios, and price of industrial-grade dehumidifiers from multiple aspects.

 

Composition of industrial dehumidifiers

Here we use the industrial refrigerant dehumidifier as an example. Refrigerant dehumidifiers generally consist of a compressor, an evaporator, a condenser, copper capillary tubes, refrigerant, circuits, a control board, a digital display, a sheet metal casing, and other accessories.

Compared to the size of commercial or household dehumidifiers, the size of industrial machines is relatively large. Their sheet metal shells are manufactured through cutting, folding, and painting processes. The more materials are used for the shell and the more complex the process, the higher the cost of the machine.

Manufacturers purchase compressors, evaporators, and condensers from reliable sources based on the energy efficiency requirements specified in the design drawings. The higher the quality of the core components, the higher the cost of the machine, and the higher the industrial dehumidifier price.

The amount of refrigerant charged is determined by the dehumidification capacity of the dehumidifier. Within a reasonable range, the larger the refrigerant charge, the more expensive the price will be.

The control board and display are the primary media for users to intuitively experience the performance of the machine. The better the quality, the higher the price. High-quality control boards can enable machines to perform more functions, and user-friendly displays can increase customer satisfaction.

 

Benefits of industrial dehumidifiers

Industrial use dehumidifier adopts advanced dehumidification technology, which can quickly reduce the humidity in the environment. It is equipped with a powerful dehumidification unit and an efficient refrigeration system, which can quickly reduce the relative humidity to the set value (±3%). Industrial strength dehumidifiers can effectively maintain a dry environment and prevent moisture damage to products and equipment, whether in areas with heavy rainfall in summer or humid areas throughout the year. Whether in busy workshops, warehouses filled with goods, laboratories conducting precision research, or greenhouses growing economic crops, industrial dehumidifiers always come into play.

In factories, industrial dehumidification equipment can improve the efficiency of both equipment and manpower. In humid environments, many devices and products are prone to moisture, leading to performance degradation or even damage. Use industrial grade dehumidification equipment to control humidity within a reasonable range daily, improve the reliability and stability of equipment and products, reduce the frequency of maintenance and replacement, and thus improve usage efficiency. Excessive humidity not only damages equipment but also causes workers to sweat poorly, leading to abnormalities and diseases in the respiratory and skin systems. Using industrial dehumidifiers to control the humidity of the working environment within a reasonable range can greatly protect the physical rights and interests of workers and improve work efficiency.

In warehouses, industrial dehumidifiers can ensure that items are not damp or moldy, guaranteeing product quality (such as clothing, shoes, tea, medicine, and wooden furniture), greatly reducing the rate of defective products caused by high humidity, and minimizing losses for businesses. Even in a refrigerated warehouse, there is still a lot of room for industrial dehumidifiers to be used. It can reduce indoor frosting, improve the efficiency of refrigeration units, and prevent goods from being contaminated by ice residue.

In laboratories, industrial dehumidifiers can be connected to HVAC systems for use. Industrial dehumidifiers can accurately control the humidity level in laboratories to prevent damage to precision experimental equipment and materials.

Smart grow rooms are a major trend in future agriculture. For thousands of years, crop growth has mainly relied on natural conditions such as climate, precipitation, light, and soil. With the development of modern technology, it has been proven feasible to simulate the optimal growth environment for plants indoors. This breakthrough can greatly improve crop yields and control planting costs. Therefore, the application of industrial dehumidifiers has also expanded to the field of modern agriculture.

 

Advantages of industrial dehumidifiers

Industrial grade dehumidifier adopts advanced control systems and built-in temperature and humidity sensors, which have the characteristics of strong stability, easy operation, and sensitive sensing. It can automatically adjust the dehumidification capacity according to changes in environmental humidity, keeping the environmental humidity within the set range.

The industrial dehumidifier is equipped with an LED screen, and users can operate it through the touchscreen, which is very convenient.

Industrial dehumidifiers support remote control and can be connected to most controllers on the market (such as Trolmaster). Through the controller, users can not only set target values, timed power on/off, determine usage duration, select dehumidification mode, adjust air volume (depending on the situation), but also record data and plot it into charts for research. Moreover, if used in a planting room, due to the special nature of plants, the equipment can also be connected to external temperature and humidity sensors. Placing an independent temperature and humidity sensor near the object that needs to be dehumidified, for example, about 10 centimeters above the plant, can accurately detect the current humidity of the target object. Based on this, setting the target value can make the most accurate judgment.

Industrial dehumidifiers also have fault diagnosis and code alarm functions. Once a fault occurs, users can be notified on time for handling. Based on the displayed fault code, operators can make adjustments and repairs under the instructions of the manufacturer’s manual, shortening the fixing time and saving costs.

The pricing of industrial dehumidifiers is mainly based on manufacturing, promotion, and transportation costs.
