Dehumidifier Products

SP Desiccant Systems
The Kathapac SP Series has been developed to deliver the same high performance associated with larger Kathapac equipment. The SP Series is designed to be a more compact, lower cost-to-install configuration, and for applications involving smaller air volumes.

 

Liquid Desiccant Systems
All Kathabar systems maintain the air at a constant, precise humidity regardless of outside air conditions.

Kathabar systems operate on the principle of chemical absorption of water vapor from air. The absorbent or desiccant solution is called Kathene, a water solution of lithium chloride salt. Kathene solution is non-toxic, will not vaporize, and is not degraded by common airborne contaminants.

 

The ability of Kathene to remove water vapor from air or add water vapor to air is determined by the temperature and concentration of the solution. Depending on the concentration, the conditioner delivers air at any desired relative humidity between 20% and 90%.

 

For a given concentration, lower air and solution temperatures enable the Kathabar dehumidifier to deliver cooler, drier air. Higher solution temperatures enable the conditioner to deliver warmer, wetter air. By controlling temperature and concentration of Kathene, the Kathabar system can deliver air at a constant temperature and humidity all year long, regardless of inlet air conditions.

 

Factory Packaged Units
All models of Kathabar conditioners and regenerators can be made into factory piped and wired skid mounted assemblies. Factory assembled skid mounted units reduce on-site installation costs and provide design flexibility.
