The following is a case of using a dehumidifier in an underground garage:
Case Background
The underground garage of a large commercial complex, with an area of approximately 15,000 square meters, is located in a humid area in the south and has limited ventilation conditions. The humidity in the garage is consistently high throughout the year, especially during the rainy season, when the humidity often exceeds 80%.The high-humidity environment causes the garage floor to be slippery, and vehicle tires are prone to skidding, increasing safety hazards. At the same time, the moist air also accelerates the rusting of metal structures. Facilities such as parking space railings and ventilation ducts have rusted to varying degrees, affecting the service life and aesthetics of the garage. In addition, mold and peeling have occurred on the walls and ceilings,causing great troubles to the daily maintenance of the garage. Moreover, the humid environment also led some car owners to report a musty smell inside the vehicle, affecting the customer's usage experience.
Selection and Installation of Dehumidifiers
After detailed measurement and analysis of the humidity situation in the garage, and comprehensive consideration of factors such as the garage area, spatial layout, and humidity requirements, industrial dehumidifiers of [brand name] were selected. A total of 10 units were installed, each with a dehumidification capacity of 100 liters per day. These dehumidifiers are evenly distributed in various areas of the garage and are connected to the ventilation system through pipes to ensure that the dried air after dehumidification can be evenly distributed throughout the garage.
Usage Effects
After the dehumidifiers operated for a period of time, the humidity in the garage was significantly controlled and stabilized between 50% - 60%. The slippery floor phenomenon improved significantly, and vehicle driving became safer. The rusting speed of the metal structure slowed down significantly, extending the service life of the facilities. The mold on the walls and ceilings was contained, and the peeling phenomenon no longer intensified, reducing maintenance costs. Car owners also reported that the musty smell in the vehicle disappeared, and the overall usage experience was greatly enhanced.At the same time, due to the stable operation and low energy consumption of the dehumidifiers, on the basis of effectively solving the humidity problem, it did not bring excessive increase in operating costs to the commercial complex.
Through this case, it can be seen that a reasonable configuration of dehumidifiers in the underground garage can effectively improve many problems caused by the humid environment, improve the safety, comfort and durability of the garage, and have significant economic and social benefits.
