The Condair DA desiccant dehumidifier range includes capacities from 0.6 to 182L/Hr (@20°C/60%RH) from its standard models with customised units able to meet larger drying requirement.
Dwyer handles the heat
The multi-purpose 3000MR/3000MRS Photohelic device contained in the Series AT-3000MR/MRS is designed for monitoring pressure, vacuum, and differential pressure. Solid‑state switches allow for switching in high-cycle rate applications and are designed to extend the life of the sensor. These products can be installed in varying process or HVAC applications globally because of the numerous pressure ranges and units available. Suitable for industrial applications, the Series AT-3000MR/MRS incorporates a cast aluminium enclosure with texture epoxy coating. It also features a standard windowed enclosure cover that allows users to visually verify changes in the process.

The system can be separated into a fan unit and heat exchanger. The company says this makes installation within the roof cavity of existing homes easier. An optional Truss Transition Kit can assist when installing the indoor unit around and between existing roof trusses.

Fujitsu General is adding an 18kW high‑static three-phase ducted air conditioner to its Infinity range. This will provide installers with a new option for projects with limited space outdoors and in the ceiling cavity.
The new 18kW Infinity ducted air conditioner is compatible with zone control and the Fujitsu General anywAiR technology ducted controller. Zone control ensures different areas in a unit or home can be set up for optimal indoor comfort and energy management.

According to Inova, the system recovers energy from waste kitchen exhaust air, and generates both heating and cooling outputs in order to lower buildings’ energy consumption and reduce CO2 emissions.
Infinity and beyond
This 18kW option includes a narrow 480mm outdoor unit and lightweight (69kg) indoor unit. The narrow outdoor unit provides more options when finding a suitable location, while the lightweight indoor unit offers installation flexibility and is less labour-intensive.
The R32 SkyAir Compact Cassette range consists of five models from 2.5kW to 7.1kW. End-users can control the system from their mobile or tablet device via the optional Airbase WLAN module (BRP15B61). The app is available for both Apple and Android devices and supports up to 10 indoor units connected to the same network. Each unit requires an adapter.

Ceiling-mounted models enable installers to either integrate the unit in a suspended ceiling system or simply fix it overhead to avoid taking up floor space. Dehumidifying capacities range from 49 to 190L/24hr (@30°C/80%RH). Go to: www.condair.com.au ■
Daikin has launched the Compact R32 SkyAir Cassette, in line with its commitment to release more products with low‑GWP refrigerant R32.

Units can incorporate on-board touch screen PLC controllers with high-level supervisory connectivity. For process airflow greater than 500 m3/hr (DA-500), AC or EC fans are available, with the regeneration fan positioned prior to the desiccant rotor in a push configuration. The company says this avoids contact between the fan and the hot humid exhaust air, prolonging the life of the fan. The rear wall-mounted systems can be remotely located in a room adjacent to the area being dehumidified. Humid air is circulated to the dehumidifier and dry air fed back to the room via the rear wall connection.
