Our range of industrial space heaters includes electric fan heaters, infrared heaters and indirect fired diesel heaters. All of these portable space heaters produce clean, safe and dry heat, so they can be used for heating people within a space safely and to assist with effective drying of spaces.
Warm air is capable of holding more moisture than cold air, therefore evaporation of moisture into the air is faster in warmer conditions. Refrigerant dehumidifiers also work best in warmer conditions. Therefore adding heat to a space that you wish to dry with a refrigerant dehumidifier helps to speed up the drying process.
Using heat to make your dehumidifier more effective and speed up drying times is ideal for applications such as flood damage restoration, renovations, tackling condensation and damp problems and managing humidity in sensitive spaces with materials and equipment that could be damaged by high moisture levels. For some applications, such as drying plaster, concrete and paintwork, it is best not to use heat for drying, as this can lead to cracks and shrinking. Ventilation fans offer an ideal alternative for speeding up drying times in these applications.
