Retrofit and upgrade for dehumidification equipment
Enhance the performance of your equipment
Our retrofit and upgrade services are designed to revitalize your existing dehumidification equipment, optimize its performance and extend its lifespan well into the future. We can also help you adapt your existing system to meet new requirements by adding enhanced functionality and capabilities.
Our service technicians can help you extend the lifespan of your equipment and enhance its performance using various techniques.
Examples include:
- Control conversions
- Rotor energy recovery
- Air handling unit fan upgrades
- Process fan upgrades
- Energy source conversion
- Complete refurbishment of air handling units
- Rotor upgrades
Control conversion
Convert the controls in your existing dehumidifiers to take advantage of all the benefits of the Munters AirC controller. AirC is the standard control system included in most of the larger dehumidification systems manufactured by Munters today, offering a wide range of benefits such as:
- More precise and energy-efficient system operation
- Enhanced communication with BMS
- Munters connectivity capabilities
- Easy-to-use software system with user-friendly interface
- Value-logging capabilities
Rotor energy recovery
Do you have an older Munters dehumidifier model operating in your facility but want to reduce its energy consumption? Our expert service technicians can help. Munters retrofit solutions are designed to minimize the energy used by older units, ensuring energy-efficient operation for years to come.
Since most of the energy required for the desiccant process is used to heat the reactivation airstream, recovering energy used in the reactivation cycle generates significant energy savings. Adding Munters purge technology to an existing dehumidification system reduces reactivation energy by up to 30% and typically delivers a return on investment in two years.
Fan upgrades for air handling units
Dramatically reduce the energy consumption of air handling units (AHUs). Replace older, belt-driven fan and motor assemblies fitted on the supply and extract sides within an AHU with a fan-wall array comprised of more energy-efficient electronic commutator (EC) fans. When you choose to upgrade your AHUs rather than replace them, you save time, money and resources.
Key benefits
- Achieve the same air flow using 30-60% less energy
- A much wider efficiency curve enables significant energy savings through fan speed reduction
- Lower maintenance costs without any belts to change and bearings to grease
- Reduced carbon emissions to help meet your targets
Process fan upgrades
Our service technicians can help you reduce energy consumption by changing the AC motor and scroll fan systems used in older dehumidifiers to new EC-powered fan walls. This upgrade leads to energy savings of 50% or more, thereby achieving a return on the investment in less than two years. It is possible to configure these versatile fan walls in various arrays for installation flexibility.
Energy source conversion
Let our service technicians help you reduce your reliance on fossil fuels and reduce your overall carbon footprint by replacing a gas-fired reactivation heat source with an electric heater. This solution is particularly appealing in areas where renewable energy sources provide power to the network and there are incentives for using them.
Complete refurbishment of air handling units
As an alternative to replacement, we offer a complete AHU refurbishment service that includes new doors, casework, components and fans. If needed, it may be possible to repurpose the unit for a new requirement in cases where additional filtration or heat recovery is required, for example.
The refurbishment process can occur in different phases, making it possible to keep the AHU running throughout the process. This approach is often preferable as it maximizes the uptime of downstream activities or processes. Our complete refurbishment service can be carried out on all makes and models of AHUs, regardless of age, type, manufacturer or location.
Rotor upgrades
Desiccant rotors are widely recognized as the most energy-efficient technique for creating humidity-controlled environments. If you want to increase the capacity of an existing dehumidifier, the most efficient and cost-effective way to do so is to upgrade the rotor.
The improved energy efficiency and higher rotor capacity will ensure annual savings that grants Niko a ROI (Return of investment) of only 20months.
