Product catalog summary
Overview of Imtech DryGenic Systems
Imtech DryGenic specializes in liquid desiccant dehumidification systems suitable for environments sensitive to humidity, temperature, or microorganisms. These systems maintain precise humidity levels regardless of external conditions, offering energy savings and reduced refrigeration costs.

Key Features and Benefits
  • Energy Efficiency: Utilizes low energy levels and inexpensive cooling media, such as well or river water, reducing overall energy consumption and investment costs.
  • Microbial Control: Eliminates up to 97% of airborne bacteria, viruses, and molds, providing cleaner air than dry desiccant systems.
  • Operational Simplicity: Easy to operate and maintain, with minimal maintenance requirements and the ability to monitor and adjust the desiccant solution.

System Components and Operation
  • Dehumidifier and Regenerator: The system uses a hygroscopic salt solution (DrySol) to absorb moisture. The regenerator evaporates absorbed moisture, maintaining the salt concentration.
  • Design Flexibility: Separate conditioner and regenerator units allow for flexible installation and space savings.

Product Offerings
  • Polykath Dehumidifier: A standard system available in four sizes, offering easy installation and low running costs.
  • DryPac Dehumidifier: Custom-made systems designed for high efficiency and energy savings, handling large air volumes.
  • Drying Tunnels: Used extensively in gelatine production, these tunnels provide high-quality drying with low energy consumption.

Applications
Imtech DryGenic systems are applicable in various industries, including pharmaceuticals, food processing, electronics, and more, providing benefits such as humidity control, energy savings, and improved product quality.

Contact Information
Imtech DryGenic is based in The Hague, Netherlands, and offers global support with erection supervisors and commissioning engineers available for customer assistance.

Outsideair Outside orreturn air BA Regenerator Conditioner WORKING PRINCIPLE > The hygroscopic salt solution (DrySol) is pumped around and sprayed into dehumidifier (A). Humid air (from outside orrecycled air) passes into the dehumidifier. This air comes intoclose contact with the hygroscopic DrySol solution spray,which absorbs the moisture present in the air. Dry air leavesthe top of the unit. The DrySol solution including the absorbed moisture collects in the lower part of the unit. By sub-sequently cooling the salt solution, the air is cooled and driedsimultaneously. Drip catchers at the air...

Imtech Drying Technology-5

To ensure a stable concentration of salt in the dehumidifier,the absorbed moisture has to be evaporated. Therefore, partof the (diluted) DrySol solution is pumped to regeneratorђ(B). Here the DrySol solution is pumped and sprayed aroundagain. At the regeneration side, water is evaporated by heatingthe salt solution. A minor secondary air stream, passingthrough the regenerator, absorbs this moisture and takes itoutside. The concentrated DrySol solution returns to the dehumidifier. The process flow diagram shows that the coldђ(diluted) DrySol solution from the dehumidifier meets thewarmђ DrySol...
