Indoor Air Quality
Controlling temperature and humidity

stallers to either integrate the unit in a suspend- ed ceiling system or simply fix it overhead to avoid taking up floor space. Dehumidifying ca- pacities range from 49 to 190 L/24hr (@30°C/80%RH).
The Condair DC-N, temperature neutral de- humidifier is suitable for applications that need very tight control over temperature as well as hu- midity, delivering dry process air to dehumidify and cool simultaneously.
It incorporates a remotely located compressor unit to dissipate heat generated during the dehu- midification process, similar to a split air condi- tioning system. Dehumidifying capacities range from 263 to 940/24hr (@30°C/80%RH) and cool- ing outputs from 13 to 43kW.

The Condair Group is the world’s leading spe- cialist in humidity control and evaporative cool- ing, with energy efficient, hygienic and innova- tive technologies for commercial, industrial and heritage applications. Globally the company has approximately 740 employees, operates produc- tion facilities in China, Europe and North Amer- ica, and has sales offices in 22 countries and dis- tribution partners in over 50 more. Condair offers system design, manufacture, supply, in- stallation, commissioning, maintenance and spares. Visit: www.condair.com.au

HUMIDITY CONTROL SPECIALIST, Condair, has extended its dehumidifier range to include more desiccant models, wall and ceiling-mount- ed systems and units that control temperature as well as humidity.
Condair managing director, Ian Eitzen, said it is exciting to be able to further strengthen the com- pany’s portfolio of dehumidification systems.
He said Condair now boasts one of the most extensive ranges of dehumidifiers available from a single supplier in Australia.
“We are also able to fully customised solutions for unusual projects or those that have close con- trol requirements,” Eitzen said.
The Condair DA desiccant dehumidifier range includes capacities from 0.6 to 182 L/Hr (@20°C/60%RH) from its standard models with customized units being able to meet any larger
drying requirement. Units can incorporate on- board touch screen PLC controllers with high- level supervisory connectivity. For process air flow greater than 500 m3/hr (DA-500), AC or EC fans are available, with the regeneration fan posi- tioned prior to the desiccant rotor in a push con- figuration. This avoids contact between the fan and the hot humid exhaust air, prolonging the life of the fan.
Condair’s wall-mounted condensing dehu- midifier range offers attractive in-room units with a sleek, minimalistic design. Alternatively, rear wall-mounted systems can be remotely lo- cated in a room adjacent to the area being dehu- midified, humid air is circulated to the dehumid- ifier and dry air fed back to the room via the rear wall connection.

Smart, wireless probes
DWYER INSTRUMENTS HAS launched new wireless probes to measure everything from air flow, dew point and humidity to wet bulb tem- peratures.
Dwyer’s Model AP3 Wireless Thermo-Ane- mometer Probe measures air velocity, air flow, and temperature when combined with a com- patible smart handheld device.
Markings on the probe allow users to know the insertion depth to obtain better accuracy when traversing the duct.
The Model RP3 Wireless Thermo-Hygrometer Probe measures relative humidity, temperature, dew point, and wet bulb temperatures when com- bined with a compatible smart handheld device.
Factory calibrated replacement humidity sen- sors can plug directly into the probe without re- quiring additional calibration.
Finally, the Model VP3 Wireless 100 mm Vane Thermo-Anemometer Probe measures air veloci- ty, air flow, humidity, and temperature when com- bined with a compatible smart handheld device.
By having a larger diameter, the rotating vane is able to measure velocities down to 50 fpm or 0.25 m/s. An arrow is molded into the vane hous- ing to depict the flow direction.
These probes use a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) signal for effortless connection and low power consumption. Wireless probes can take measurements up to 50 feet away from the UHH6 or compatible smart handheld device.
