DH 160 BX ES Industrial Air Dryer, Stainless Steel

DH 160 BX ES Industrial Air Dryer, Stainless Steel

DRYING XXL

The DH 160 BX ES industrial condensation dehumidifier, with its stainless steel housing, is characterized by a high moisture removal capacity, reliable continuous operation, and practical configuration options. The unit can also be mounted on a wall or suspended from the ceiling and, with the appropriate on-site preparation, can be easily connected to existing ductwork systems as needed.

Stainless steel version of a commercial dehumidifier

Ideal for use in areas with special hygiene requirements or particularly harsh atmospheric conditions. The stainless steel housing is easy to clean and made of AISI 316, which is highly resistant to various chemical solutions such as sulfuric acid and iodides. In addition, AISI 316 offers very high corrosion resistance, particularly against chlorides.

The DH 160 BX ES air dryer features a smooth-running scroll compressor that ensures a constant, pulsation-free pressure for energy-efficient cooling. Combined with a self-regulating EC centrifugal fan, this robust industrial dehumidifier delivers consistently high moisture removal performance during continuous operation, even at low temperatures.

Easy installation and setup

The DH 160 BX ES is an efficient solution for removing moisture from the air that can be installed immediately without any additional construction work and can also be retrofitted to support existing air-handling systems. Simply set it up, connect it to a power source, and install the condensate drain hose—and you’re done.

Unlike competing models in the same class, the DH 160 BX ES comes standard with a built-in condensate pump, allowing condensate to be drained to higher locations without any problems.

HIGH PROFITABILITY

In high-volume recirculating air mode, this industrial dehumidifier removes most of the moisture from the air in accordance with the target humidity level preset by the hygrostat. The DH 160 BX ES dual-flow, stepless, self-regulating EC centrifugal fan and powerful compression cooling system ensure high efficiency.

During the process, the dry air circulating in the room is heated simultaneously, making it possible to significantly reduce the use of conventional heating and ventilation energy. Thanks to its coefficient of performance (COP) of 2.9, the DH 160 BX ES is capable of producing 2.9 kW of heating capacity for every kilowatt of energy consumed during air dehumidification.

In addition, the DH 160 BX ES professional hot-gas defrosting system operates with automatically controlled cycle reversal. During this process, the refrigerant flow is temporarily reversed via a four-way valve to keep the evaporator ice-free, so that the previously cold evaporator now becomes a hot condenser, and vice versa. Compared to hot gas bypass defrosting, cycle reversal ensures faster defrosting, improving efficiency and thereby increasing the net OEE of this air dryer.

VARIOUS APPLICATIONS

Without effective control, moisture can cause a variety of problems in production processes and in inventory, furniture, or stored goods. Optimal humidity control not only protects against rust, rot, material degradation, or quality deterioration during the processing and storage of goods, but also reliably prevents mold growth. Its robust design, high dehumidification performance, and simple installation options make the DH 160 BX ES an effective, versatile solution for many applications, such as:

• Keeping production and storage areas dry in accordance with specific humidity requirements
• Corrosion protection in ship engine rooms and an optimal storage environment for moisture-sensitive cargo during transport
• Dehumidification of water treatment facilities and pumping stations to prevent condensation on pipes or pumps
• Preventing Corrosion in Electrical Panels, Boiler Systems, Turbines, and Power Plant Piping Systems
• Humidity control in data centers, control rooms, etc.
• Climate control in shipbuilding, at a shipyard, or in a cargo hold
• Humidity control in the food industry, such as in the production of cheese or baked goods
• Removing moisture in laundries, even when chemicals are used

SELECTIVELY ADJUSTABLE

Heat exchanger with KTL coating

Ideal for use in highly reactive atmospheric environments. Thanks to cathodic dip coating (KTL), the heat exchanger’s coating is resistant to solvents, corrosion, acids, and alkalis.

High-pressure fan

The fan is available with a static pressure boost (200 Pa) for higher airflow, which means it can handle longer air transport distances, such as when connecting to existing duct systems.

Defrosting below 0 °C
To lower the dew point in particularly cold environments, such as cold rooms, a temperature extension is available for the DH 160 BX ES, which expands its operating range from -0.5 °C to +42 °C.
