TIMBER / RECUSORB dehumidification principle
The humidity required to maintain the drying condition of the wood is practically independent of the temperature in the warehouse. Heating is therefore not advisable. K.I.R.S.C.H. uses dehumidifiers for this application to ensure constant dehumidification throughout the year, even at low temperatures. These work according to the TIMBER Recusorb principle, an energy-optimized sorptive dehumidification system. At the heart of this technology is the world’s highest quality SSCR-U rotor developed from silica gel and several metal-silicate compounds. Compared to the classic sorption principle, the TIMBER Recusorb also works with internal heat recovery. The incoming regeneration air (dark green) absorbs the residual regeneration energy of the rotor in the flushing zone, is preheated and its water content is reduced. As a result, the regeneration heater consumes less energy and the rotor is regenerated better in accordance with the lower regeneration air humidity.
The operating costs for dehumidification are very low. Alternatively, electrical energy, steam or natural gas can be used as regeneration energy, depending on availability at the site.
