Reducing enclosure humidity to cut condensation

  Reducing enclosure humidity. There are several methods of reducing enclosure humidity to avoid condensation. Flooding the enclosure with dry nitrogen is quick and effective, but may not be viable or practical. In contrast, other methods may leave the moisture...

Relationship of absolute dehumidifying capacity and ambient

Is the absolute dehumidifying capacity affected by ambient temperature and humidity? Rosahl membranes remove moisture from an enclosure. The manufacturer publishes dehumidifying capacity at 30° C and 60% RH as an indication of performance. This is not the absolute...

Differences between open and enclosed power supplies

Open and enclosed power supplies To ensure reliable operation of Rosahl membrane dehumidifiers under all operating conditions it is important to use a switching power supply (PSU) with the performance specified in the relevant membrane specification sheet. Service...

What is the IP rating of Rosahl dehumidifier membranes?

Is Rosahl waterproof? Rosahl dehumidifiers work by passing gasses through the polymer membrane to the outside of an enclosure. To achieve this, they must be porous to gas and vapour. However, they are not porous to solid particles or liquids under normal conditions....

Working with dehumidifier drying time curves

Micro-dehumidifiers are used to air-dry small enclosures and cabinets up to 4m³. This removes the risk of moisture damage and condensation. They are used in electrical cabinets, instruments CCTV and a wide range of other applications. One of the many benefits of solid...

What is an electrolytic dehumidifier?

Electrolysis is the process by which ionic substances are decomposed (broken down) into simpler substances when an electric current is passed through them. Rosahl dehumidifiers are mounted over a cut-out in the side of the enclosure, and use a small electrolytic...

Enclosure dehumidifier for industrial and commercial use

Designed for industrial and commercial applications, Rosahl micro-dehumidifiers use a solid polymer membrane to remove moisture from sealed enclosures when a low voltage is applied. The products cover volumes from one litre to 4m³.   A small cut-out is made in...

Small volume, low power enclosure dehumidifier

Rosahl is a unique, low power electric micro-dehumidifier for enclosures from under one litre up to 4m³. It uses a polymer membrane electrolyte, driven from a 3V DC power source. This is usually supplied from a transformer, but when correctly applied, it can be...

Protecting photonic devices from moisture damage

Protecting photonic devices from moisture damage Removing moisture from small enclosures is a problem for engineers. The water vapour present can affect the performance the equipment in various ways. For example, it may affect the outcome the process. Alternatively,...
