Protec Model 150 Desiccant Dehumidifier
Industrial Dehumidifiers
Specifically Engineered
for Corrosion Prevention,
Marine/ Facility Mothballing
and Inventory Preservation
Protec Model 150
Protec offers you the only line of industrial dehumidifiers specifically engineered and manufactured for corrosion protection, marine/facility mothballing and inventory preservation. Protec’s high capacity, desiccant rotor design delivers the specified amount of dehumidified air at the lowest possible energy cost. Eight Protec dehumidifier models allow you to select capacities ranging from 75 scfm to 9000 scfm. Protec dehumidifiers have been used in the field in a wide array of applications and for a challenging range of applications during the past 20 years. Many Protec dehumidifiers have provided more than 15 years of continuous service.

Features
Protec Model 150 Desiccant Dehumidifier Offers Unmatched Features

Capacity:

Process air flow rates of 75 to 150 scfm. Nominal moisture removal of 5 lbs./hr. @70°F/60%RH @150 scfm.

Desiccant:
Titanium silica gel is the most advanced and durable desiccant of its kind. It will not break down even if saturated with water.

Contact Air Seal System:
Separate process and reactivation air streams at pressures up to 3" W.G., with 5-year life expectancy.

Low Temperature Operation:
Functions effectively to 0°F. Will not ice-up like refrigeration-based dehumidifiers.

Drive System:
Simple, drive belt arrangement with few moving parts.

Durability: Welded aluminum housing, durable polyurethane finish, weather-tight access panels. Heavy-duty blowers, drive controls, and electrical components. Suitable for indoor and outdoor use.

Electrical Controls:
Automatic restart after power failure. Contacts for remote run and fault status. Elapsed time meter. Simplified controls using relay logic. 24 VAC signal wiring allows for low voltage wiring of humidistat. Control system monitors and controls unit function.

Environmentally Friendly:
Uses no toxic materials, creates no hazardous bi-products.

Easy Maintenance:
Quick access panels, roll-out rotor replacement, life-time drive lubrication, easy duct connections, replacement parts readily available and simple maintenance procedures.
Options:

• Humidistat On/Off Control
• Moisture Margin™ Control
• Watch™ Monitoring System
• Constant Process Blower
• Process Inlet Transitions for Round Duct

Suggested Specification Guide
Dehumidifier shall be of a type proven in satisfactory operation for a minimum of ten years. Dehumidifier shall be of the non-cycling sorption type with a single desiccant, rotary structure. The casing shall be fabricated as a unitized body with welded aluminum construction for maximum strength and durability.

Suitable access panel shall allow access for inspection or servicing without disconnecting ducting or electrical wiring. Airflow balancing dampers to be furnished. The dehumidifier shall be designed for continuous operation.

The rotary structure shall be a monolithic fabricated extended surface composite consisting of inert silicates reinforced with uniform diameter glass fibers for maximum strength. The fabricated structure shall be smooth and continuous in the direction of air flow without interruptions or sandwich layers which restrict airflow or create a leakage path at joining surfaces. Desiccant shall not channel, cake or fracture due to repeated temperature and moisture cycling. The materials of construction shall be non-toxic.

Full face contact pressure seals shall be provided to separate the process and reactivation airstreams and eliminate detrimental leakage of air or moisture with static pressure differentials of up to 3" of water gauge.

Dehumidifier shall be factory assembled, fully automatic, complete with laminar flow desiccant wheel, reactivation heaters, reactivation energy control system, roughing filters, motors, fans, non-ratcheting desiccant rotor drive unit, automatic controller and all components’ auxiliaries. Heat control shall be stepless solid state proportioning type and air volume shall be regulated by variable speed control of the reactivation fan. Dehumidifier shall be functionally tested at the manufacturer’s factory and shipped complete with all components necessary to maintain normal operation.
