Desiccant Drying Techniques

This one day introduction course is an excellent opportunity to understand how to use a desiccant dehumidifier more effectively and efficiently. Technicians will learn the "Physics of Drying", the type of desiccants available, how they work and more importantly how to use them on site correctly.

This course is ideally suited to technicians who wish to carry out drying and odour control. The proper use of desiccant dehumidifiers is a subject that is often underestimated at the cost of the client and ultimately the contractors deploying them.

Course content includes:

• Physics of Drying
  • Understanding evaporation
  • Understanding vapour pressure
  • Understanding heat energy
• What are desiccants?
  • Solid versus liquids
  • Adsorption vs absorption
• Principles of operation
  • How they work
  • Standard rotary wheels
• Practical & specialist applications
  • Tenting
  • Cavities
  • Heat exchange

At the end of the course students will be awarded an NFS Certificate.
