ENERGY-SAVING PROPOSAL WITH DEHUMIDIFIERS

In cases where multiple air conditioners are operated for dehumidification purposes in unmanned storage spaces at night, energy savings can be achieved by stopping all or some air conditioners and using a smaller number of dedicated dehumidifiers instead.

Have you ever experienced situations where dozens of air conditioners were installed and operated to maintain humidity control (e.g. RH 50–55%) in a product warehouse, but the humidity didn’t drop as expected? Similarly, using air conditioners to maintain a room temperature of 25°C in an unmanned factory during the night may seem wasteful.

In such cases, stopping the air conditioners at night and operating only with fewer dehumidifiers can lead to energy savings. (Dehumidifiers discharge warmer air after removing moisture from the intake air, which tends to slightly increase room temperature.)

Many people may use the "dehumidification mode" on commercial air conditioners, but due to its structure, they do not have the same capacity as dedicated dehumidifiers. Even if the unit has a reheating function, the use of heaters for reheating increases energy consumption.  

On the other hand, dedicated dehumidifiers rapidly dehumidify through supercooling and then reheat using internal condenser heat, eliminating unnecessary energy use.
