ARID-Ice® Arena Dehumidification (continued)  
 

 

  
 

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

  • Our standard is a microprocessor controller for reactivation rate and safeguard functions, and also for heating and cooling functions if these options are present. Terminal-strip connection points are included for customer use for alarming, monitoring, and for communication with a building management system. (Our microprocessor is a BAC-Net compatible device, and requires a gateway device to communicate.)
  • Each unit is ETL Listed and approved as a unit. Every item shipped carries a full ETL approval including all options in compliance with the current mechanical code. We also have the ETL-C listing for Canadian projects. On European projects, we can provide country-specific C-E approvals.


  • The microprocessor reactivation controller maintains a constant burner-output temperature, so burning the desiccant rotor is unlike other manufactures. In addition, modulating via a reset schedule minimizes energy use. Full-rated performance is available in cool weather because it is not necessary to limit the firing rate as other manufacturers do.

< Our reactivation burner flame safeguard system is an industrial Honeywell R7895A instead of a commercial-or residential style "ignition module." The standard gas train on gas-fired units is an ANSI type, and includes inlet regulator, automatic main and pilot valves, an electronic modulating valve, in addition to safety manual valves.

  
  • Reactivation temperature sensors are 500°F rated Platinum thermistors.
  • A full-perimeter sprocket with a #40 molly chain drives our desiccant rotor. This is more durable than any other system on the market. >

 

 


< Stabilized silica gel is permanently bonded to a low specific-heat substrate for long-lasting dehumidification performance at maximum efficiency.
< Our desiccant rotor seals are dual contact, Viton extruded seals, designed to extend the life of the unit. This is the most durable seal in the industry.

 

  • Heavy duty blowers are backward inclined or forward curved nonover-loading rated for total static pressure. Wherever possible, blowers are directly coupled to fans to eliminate belts and external bearings. >
  • Standard filters provided are minimum 30% efficient industrial pleated-style to insure a clean desiccant rotor. Additional filtration is available.

 

< Our standard unit construction is double-wall, and insulated. It is very rugged, and includes airtight, gasketed access doors for access to components.

 

  • All doors are equipped with locking handles with common keyed access to prevent unauthorized access.
  • Multiple components and configurations provide a versatile unit to meet every application requirement.
