CDI ARID-Dry MS-18000/15000 — Industrial Desiccant Dehumidifier

The CDI ARID-Dry MS-18000/15000 is an industrial desiccant dehumidifier for construction drying, coating work and corrosion control. Its process fan delivers 18,000 SCFM at zero external static or 15,000 SCFM at 6 inches of water column, with nominal moisture removal of 401 pounds per hour at 80°F and 60% relative humidity. A stainless double-wall cabinet, fork-pocket frame, 20-inch duct collars and variable frequency drive support large temporary drying systems. Electric and gas reactivation configurations have separate electrical requirements in the specifications.
