Compressor Based vs. Ventilation Based* Dehumidification
Comparing energy costs and performance
Compressor based dehumidification provided by Seresco results in up to
savings per year.
which could represent as high as
cost savings over a 15 year lifespan.
this is more than
the cost of new equipment.
*manufacturers who bring in more OA than the code requires to achieve dilution
The Benefits of Compressor Based Dehumidification
The Dilution Air approach was mostly abandoned in the 80s when people discovered the compressorized approach to controlling their space delivered more reliable results and saved energy.
Reduced Maintainance Costs
When you dramatically reduce the corrosive chemical levels you save money on associated maintenance issues.
Improved IAQ
With an integrated source capture solution, effectively removes chemicals from the source.
Peak Performance
Your athletes will perform at their absolute best when swimming in a better environment.
Reduced Operating Costs
Reduce energy costs by 1/3 compared to constant OA systems.
Reduced Carbon Footprint
This system has the smallest energy footprint, reducing your carbon footprint to the absolute minimum.
Green Dehumidification Design
This system has the lowest refrigerant charge in the industry.
Cost Savings Analysis
Operating costs for natural ventilation dehumidifiers are heavily affected by climate.
