Desiccant
With a proven, reliable desiccant system, you can control humidity in your commercial operation. Temperature control is maintained separately.
Desiccant systems can be used to significantly reduce the overall size of air conditioning systems, which means lower peak electric demand and reduced electricity costs.
Here are just a few of the benefits businesses and organizations can enjoy with a desiccant system:
Desiccant systems flush airborne contaminants from hospitals and other healthcare facilities. This reduces the spread of upper respiratory infections, which means healthier facilities.
Indoor air quality is important to teachers, administrators and, most importantly, students. Desiccant systems can increase classroom air quality while reducing your air conditioning’s peak electric demand.
By eliminating that “cold and clammy” feeling, desiccant systems allow restaurants to offer a more pleasant dining atmosphere.
With a desiccant system, you dramatically improve the appearance of your frozen and refrigerated products. And in refrigerated warehouses, desiccant systems keep ice from building up on the floor, contributing to a safer working environment and reduced operating costs.
Desiccant technology is also leading the way to help businesses comply with ASHRAE Standard 62.
Standard 62 is designed to increase the amount of outside air delivered to occupied spaces, thereby diluting indoor air contaminants.
The end result of this standard is a healthy indoor environment through ventilation.
Desiccants are better equipped to handle the high humidity levels in fresh air than refrigeration-based cooling, making them the preferred technology for improving indoor air quality.
Through our energy conservation program, Peoples Gas provides cash rebates of up to $150 per ton* to help reduce some of the costs associated with the purchase and installation of commercial and industrial gas desiccant space conditioning equipment.
