Kyle Mattingly, a Project Manager at Polygon in Orlando, Florida, provides a concise overview of desiccant dehumidifiers and their operation.Desiccant dehumidifiers are introduced as one of the most efficient and effective methods for removing moisture from the air. The central component of these dehumidifiers is the desiccant wheel, also known as a rotor. The desiccant wheel acts like a sponge, absorbing moisture from the air.Different desiccant materials are used in the construction of the wheel, including lithium chloride, molecular sieve, and silicon gel. The wheel continuously rotates during operation, facilitating the moisture absorption process.The dehumidification process involves two separate air streams. The first is the process air stream, which is drawn into the dehumidifier through the process inlet. As the air passes through the dehumidifier, the moisture present in the air is absorbed by the desiccant wheel. The dehumidified air exits the dehumidifier through the process outlet, delivering drier air to the conditioned space.The second air stream is the reactivation air stream, also known as the regeneration air. This air is introduced into the dehumidifier and heated, typically using electric heat elements, gas burners, or steam. The heated air then passes through the desiccant wheel, capturing the accumulated moisture from the wheel. The moisture-laden air is discharged or exhausted outside the dehumidifier.The video emphasizes the importance of proper understanding and utilization of desiccant dehumidifiers for effective moisture control. It encourages viewers to reach out to the Polygon team for any questions or further information.Polygon's expertise in desiccant dehumidification technology is highlighted in the video's overview, emphasizing their commitment to providing comprehensive solutions for moisture-related challenges. By explaining the principles of desiccant dehumidifiers, Polygon aims to educate and assist viewers in understanding the benefits and applications of this technology.

This week we welcome Lew Harriman for a discussion about the new ASHRAE document "Damp Buildings, Human Health and HVAC Design". The new document is intended to provide clear guidance for consultants, building owners/managers and others on measuring and managing moisture in buildings. Lew Harriman was a contributor to the EPA guidance for Moisture Control in Buildings, the EPA’s Guidance for Air Cleaners and most recently the ASHRAE Special Publication titled: Damp Buildings, Human Health and HVAC Design. After college and a 5-yr stint in the US Air Force, Lew worked for a manufacturer of industrial dehumidification systems for 10 years, before beginning a second, 32-year career as a humidity control and building forensic consultant. He operated his one-person firm under the name Mason-Grant until 2018, when he retired from active consulting and took the tongue-in-cheek title of “Emeritus Director of Research” because he says likes the sound of it. Still, he seems unable to off-load his attachment to ASHRAE volunteer work, since he continues to serve as a humidity and filtration consultant to ASHRAE's COVID-19 Epidemic Task Force.   This episode follows up our series we call the Moisture Mob Episodes.

Terry Brennan literally wrote the book on managing moisture for improved indoor air quality. He is a lead author of a landmark 2013 Environmental Protection Agency book titled “Moisture Control for Building Design, Construction and Maintenance” which has since become a standard reference document in the industry in the US. In November 2018, Terry visited Australia as a keynote speaker for The Building Designers Association of Australia (BDAA) and Australian Institute of Refrigeration, Air Conditioning and Heating (AIRAH). We took this opportunity to bring Terry to New Zealand for a short visit and workshop at the pro clima HUB, where I caught up with him for a chat about building science, mould and how to build better.

This week on Iaqradio+ we flashback to a great show with Lew Harriman and Terry Brennan from 7-11-24. The EPA Moisture Control Guide is one of the best, if not the best document EPA has developed in 20 years. Terry Brennan and Lew Harriman join us to discuss the document and give us their thoughts on evaluating moisture issues in buildings. If you do not have this document in your library, get it, its free and your tax dollars helped to put it together.  Terry Brennan was the lead author for the EPA's new Guidance for Moisture Control in Buildings. He is a founder and managing partner of Camroden Associates, a building science consulting firm located in Westmoreland, New York. He began his career as a physics major at Northeastern University, but some how, some way got diverted into building science, working on the earliest research into radon problems and radon behavior in buildings, and moving on to energy and moisture issues. For the last 40 years, he's spent more time crawling around damp basements and hot attics than most normal people would find pleasant. But in return for those decades of investigation, Terry knows a LOT about what makes buildings tick... how they go wrong... and how to make sure they don't. Lew Harriman was a contributor to the new EPA guidance for Moisture Control in Buildings on the HVAC aspects of moisture control. He began his career as an architecture student at Dartmouth, but after five years as an Air Force officer, he went to work for a manufacturer of dehumidification systems, and got permanently diverted into HVAC engineering, where he's spent the last 38 years. He is the founder of Mason-Grant Consulting, a building science consulting firm located in Portsmouth, NH. He is active in ASHRAE as the vice-chair of technical committee 1.12 (Moisture Management in Buildings), and is an ASHRAE Fellow and Distinguished Lecturer.

An easy way to create instant summer colour is by using hanging baskets and troughs. Garden centres and nurseries have plenty on display but it’s easy to create your own. Phostrogen Slow Release Plant Food and Moisture Control is an ideal solution for busy gardeners as Tom Cole, Senior Horticultural Lecturer at Writtle University College told Ken Crowther.

Today we have a live Q and A - Making Bagpipes Quieter, Goat Skin Bags, Moisture Control Systems, Inveraray Prep. Connect with us on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, and Snapchat - always username 'pipersdojo' - we'll see you there!

This week on IAQ Radio we are going to talk about one of the best if not the best document EPA has developed in 20 years. Terry Brennan and Lew Harriman join us to discuss the EPA document "Moisture Control Guidance for Building Design, Construction and Maintenance". If you do not have this document in your library, get it! Terry Brennan was the lead author for the EPA's new Guidance for Moisture Control in Buildings. He is a founder and managing partner of Camroden Associates, a building science consulting firm located in Westmoreland, New York. He began his career as a physics major at Northeastern University, but some how, some way got diverted into building science, working on the earliest research into radon problems and radon behavior in buildings, and moving on to energy and moisture issues. For the last 40 years, he's spent more time crawling around damp basements and hot attics than most normal people would find pleasant. But in return for those decades of investigation, Terry knows a LOT about what makes buildings tick... how they go wrong... and how to make sure they don't. Lew Harriman was a contributor to the new EPA guidance for Moisture Control in Buildings on the HVAC aspects of moisture control. He began his career as an architecture student at Dartmouth, but after five years as an Air Force officer, he went to work for a manufacturer of dehumidification systems, and got permanently diverted into HVAC engineering, where he's spent the last 38 years. He is the founder of Mason-Grant Consulting, a building science consulting firm located in Portsmouth, NH. He is active in ASHRAE as the vice-chair of technical committee 1.12 (Moisture Management in Buildings), and is an ASHRAE Fellow and Distinguished Lecturer. LEARN MORE about moisture and moisture control on IAQ Radio today at noon eastern with Terry Brennan and Lew Harriman!
