Dehumidification
The steering tool to improve cultivation, avoid diseases and at the same time achieve large energy savings
Well-insulated modern indoor farms can create unwanted situations.
Due to the closed cultivation and because of crop evaporation, the relative humidity can be 90% or even more. Making proper dehumidification an absolute must!

Importance of dehumidification
When humidity levels are too high, it can lead to a number of problems that can negatively impact plant growth and health. But it can also affect working conditions for personnel, the performance of machinery and equipment. The requirements are extra high when storing seeds, cultivating food- or pharma grade crops, or flowering crops.
Traditional greenhouse methods of moisture removal, such as partially opening screens, using heaters for dry heating, minimum pipe
(heating), and creating an air gap through partially opening windows, are not possible or not cost-effective. This is where dehumidification plays a crucial role.
Methods of dehumidification
How to create a uniform humidity for optimal growing conditions in indoor facilities? How to prevent fungi, mould, bacteria, botrytis
and mildew? How to combat breakdowns of and corrosion to machinery and equipment caused by excessive humidity? How to dehumidify to achieve pleasant working conditions?
And how to achieve all of this without breaking the bank? It all starts with a proper HVAC plan:
- Prevent moisture problems
- Introduce air movement
- Drain moisture by active ventilation
- Use cooling equipment for active dehumidification
- Raise the indoor temperature
Three indoor dehumidification solutions
The choice of dehumidification method will depend on a variety of factors, including the size of the farm, the climate and humidity levels in the surrounding area, and the crops grown. There are a few principles to consider first before getting to the right design of the facility.
But it all starts with understanding that dehumidification and air movement go hand in hand, both have to be just right.
- Dehumidification with fresh air
- Dehumidification with condensate drying solutions
- Dehumidification with desiccant dryer solutions
