Spiral Freezers & Cold Storage Loading Dock Applications
Does frost and ice have your costs spiraling out of control? Is your production cut by defrost cycles? Understand how desiccants can be applied to reduce your costs, improve product quality and increase production.  This applies to spiral and tunnel freezers.  It’s time you start enjoying the benefits of dry air.

In this webinar we will:

• Get to the root cause of the symptoms in your cold storage facility.
• Understand the solutions and benefits provided by CDI desiccant technology.
• Review the challenges of spiral freezers.
• See how applying a cost effective Dry Climate system can make all the difference you need.      
• Time for wrap up and questions
  
  
  

Psychrometrics: The Science of Moisture in Air
Get refreshed on Psychrometrics, like a tall cold drink of water. This webinar is for those that have had formal training in Psychrometrics, at some time in their careers, but it's time to cut through the fog and get the basics of how it is used in determination of moisture solutions.  This is a pre-requisite for all future webinars. Without an understanding of vapor pressure, dewpoint, and grains of moisture, future webinars will be cloudy at best.

Passive Desiccants (Enthalpy and Type III)

Have manufacturers left you confused? It seems there are many desiccants available. And, guess what? There are! Because CDI works with all commercially available desiccants we apply each one where it meets project criteria. Learn how passive desiccants do their work, what their limitations are, and what is available in today's marketplace.

Moisture Load Calculations
Most Load Calculation software the industry uses today does not adequately address the latent or moisture component.  Don't let yourself get into water over your head.  In this webinar we break down EVERY aspect of moisture gain, give you the formulas, and demonstrate tools to make sure you have a proper design.

Water Treatment Plants Application

Many Waste Water Treatment Plants, pumping stations, or similar applications can benefit from using Active Desiccant Dehumidification.
Prevent the high costs of corrosion and reduce operational expenses.

Archival Storage Application

DOAS Application

Critical Process Rooftop Food Processing Applications
