Hotel, motel, and residential indoor pool rooms are just a few scenarios where you can find dehumidification systems controlling the relative humidity. An unexpected failure of a dehumidification system in these facilities can have some considerable negative impacts.

A malfunctioning dehumidification system can cause mold and mildew build up quickly. This can lead to musty smells and poor air quality, not to mention structural issues.

Malfunctioning dehumidification systems can also lead to unhappy customers and bad reviews, which could hurt a business. In an industrial setting, a manufacturer can lose a large amount of money in downtime, missed deadlines, or ruined product when relative humidity is out of control.

The mission of Dehumidifier Corporation of America (DCA) has been to provide customers with high quality dehumidification systems solutions at competitive prices. That has been our primary goal since our founding in 1995.

DCA has always provided the highest quality brand name, off-the-shelf, non-proprietary dehumidifier components, easily obtained from any quality refrigeration distributor. This is especially important when it comes to the control system. DCA has never specified proprietary controls on any of our products. This allows repair technicians the advantage of sourcing controls and many other dehumidifier parts from their local supply house, as opposed to waiting for the factory to react.

As anyone who pays an electricity bill can tell you, air conditioners can use a tremendous amount of electricity. When that increased usage is applied across a large population, such as the New York, Madison, or Los Angeles metropolitan areas, the power grids serving those areas are put under a tremendous amount of strain.

Dehumidifier Corporation of America (DCA) designs dehumidification systems for a wide range of applications. We have provided dehumidification solutions to hotel and motel chains, homeowners and manufacturing facilities where the control of relative humidity is critical. No matter what kind of building you operate, summer humidity can pose a real problem. High humidity is a particular threat for facilities that store sensitive items that can be ruined by moisture, like food or powdered products that take on moisture.

Dehumidification plays a key role in the housekeeping maintenance of waste and fresh water treatment facilities. Metal surfaces such as holding, treatment and filtration tanks, pipes and pump room equipment are exposed to cold water that often brings their surface temperature below the room’s dew point temperature. When this happens, moisture forms on these surfaces causing rusting and corrosion.

During warm months, just about every location east of the Rocky Mountains feels the muggy effects of high dew points. The resulting high relative humidity produces a host of issues for businesses such as printing, machining, archive storage, food packaging, electronic component providers and clean rooms.

Now's the time to take action concerning your seasonal humidity control issues that seem to come up every year during the warm, humid summer months. You can recognize that time of year when the normal use of room air conditioning doesn’t control the excess humidity. Moisture problems can cause production down time, product degradation, wet walls and ceilings, and many of the other common problems.

With the holidays now behind us, it’s time to focus our attention on the next big event – the 2014 AHR Expo New York at the Javits Center. The Expo is fast approaching, and will take place January 21^st to the 23^rd. It’s a must-attend event for professionals in the HVACR industry, and focuses on advancing energy efficiency and sustainability.

There’s been a lot of chatter around the manufacturing sector about November 19^th being designated the first annual American Made Matters Day by the American Made Matters organization. The day is meant to encourage consumers to choose at least one American-made product out of all of their purchases that day. With the holidays right around the corner, now’s the perfect time to add American-made products to your shopping carts.
