Managing humidity and temperature

by Simon Birkett
(Bangkok, Thailand)

I am new to compressed air and starting a dry ice cleaning venture in Thailand. I've already learned much from your site, but seek further information.

I have serious concerns about humidity and air temperature; average daily relative humidity ranges from mid 60 to 90 with average temperatures 80 to 90.

We need a mobile system that fits on a truck and are considering the Sullair 210H as our main unit.

What makes practical sense to add to the system that will help reduce air temperature and humidity? We are trying to work out what combination of filters and after coolers would be practical to house on a pallet or similar.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

Simon.

Simon, you need to turn your question around.

The issue is, at what level of dryness and temperature does the compressed air your dry ice system use need to be?

When you have the answer to that, then you add the necessary equipment to your compressor to achieve that goal.

Read the pages on Water and the succeeding pages that talk about the various methods of achieving the dryness level needed. As I note, it is a continuum, and you only throw enough money at the problem until the solution suits the need.

Cheers,

Bill
