Welcome to our "How to" blog on the Industrial dehumidifier calculator for storerooms and warehouses. Industrial dehumidification is crucial in maintaining optimal conditions for storage rooms, preventing moisture-related damage to goods, and ensuring their longevity. Using this calculator, you can determine the appropriate industrial dehumidifier sizing based on the specific conditions of your storage room...
After making an industrial dehumidification calculation, you must choose a suitable unit for your warehouse. Condensation or compressor-based systems are ideal for large-space drying. Based on the storeroom space, you can choose from wall mount, ceiling mount, ducted, portable, or floor-standing type dryers.
We will guide you through calculating the ideal industrial dehumidifier capacity, considering room volume, temperature, humidity, air exchange, and occupants. By accurately sizing your dehumidification system, you can effectively control humidity levels and create a conducive environment for storing your valuable items. This method o of commercial dehumidifier sizing will save your time and helps to increase accuracy.
Let's Calculate the industrial dehumidifier capacity for a storage room occupied by ten workers doing heavy physical work. The volume of the storeroom is 1000 cubic meters with indoor temperature and humidity is 22°C. This room needs to be dehumidified up to 50%RH. Outdoor conditions are 30°C & 80 %RH. Read more

First, enter the volume of the storage room in cubic meters. You can get the space volume by multiplying that room's length, width, and height. The dehumidifier capacity is directly proportionate to the space size. You need a more powerful unit to dehumidify large spaces.
For our example, the Storage room volume is 1000 Cu.m.
We must specify indoor and outdoor conditions to calculate the absolute humidity. Enter the desired inside humidity and outside humidity %RH. Also, mention the current temperature in °C present at inside and outside the store room. Use a digital thermometer and hygrometer to measure these values.
Inside Temp. 22 °C and Outside Temp. 30 °C
Desired Humidity 50%RH and Outside humidity 80%RH.
We need to find absolute humidity in g/kg from the Psychrometric chart for the given temperature and humidity. Draw a vertical line from the temperature till it intersects the humidity curve. Draw a horizontal line from the point of intersection to get absolute humidity. In our case, inside & outside absolute humidity is 8.258 & 21.663 g/kg, respectively.

The air exchange cycle or ACH indicates the number that represents how many times the total air volume in the store room is entirely removed and replaced in an hour. Dehumidifier capacity is directly proportional to the ACH. ACH for different sizes of store rooms is mentioned in the table. So, for a 1000 cubic meters store, ACH is 0.2
For the accurate capacity calculation, we need to add humidity release from the body of people working in the store room. The amount of moisture contributed per hour in grams depends on the work the occupant is doing. For ten workers doing heavy physical work, moisture contributed by each worker will be 130 grams of water per hour.
Click the "Click here for Dehumidifier Result" button to get the dehumidifier capacity in Liters/day. Please note that you must select the dehumidifier with calculated or more liter/day capacity at the storage room's climate conditions(22°C & 50 %RH). For the example we are discussing here, the total capacity of the dehumidifier calculated is 108.42 liters/day.
Yes, industrial dehumidifier calculation tools take into account the size and layout of your industrial space. These tools are designed to provide accurate calculations based on the dimensions and characteristics of the area you need to dehumidify.
By considering factors such as the square footage, ceiling height, and any partitions or openings in the space, the calculator can determine the appropriate capacity and number of dehumidifiers required to effectively control the moisture levels.
Absolutely! The industrial dehumidifier calculator is versatile and can be used for various industries, including warehouses, manufacturing plants, and data centers.
It recognizes that different industries have unique humidity control needs, and it is capable of adapting its calculations accordingly.
Whether you are dealing with high humidity in a warehouse, excess moisture in a manufacturing plant, or the sensitive environment of a data center, the calculator can provide tailored recommendations for each specific application. Please refer our other sections to learn how to do dehumidifier servicing, sizing, & read reviews.
Yes, the dehumidifier sizing calculator takes into account the specific moisture sources or processes present in your industrial facility. It understands that different industrial settings may have distinct humidity contributors, such as water usage, production processes, or ventilation systems.
By factoring in these moisture sources, the calculator can accurately assess the overall humidity load and recommend the appropriate dehumidification capacity.
This ensures that the selected dehumidifiers are capable of effectively controlling the moisture levels caused by the specific processes or sources within your facility.
The industrial dehumidifier sizing calculator does not incorporate any specific brand or model preferences into its calculations.
