[Case Study] Rust Prevention Solution for Precision Engineering Warehouse in Bac Giang With DeAir.RE-600 Dehumidifier

02/10/2025

In the precision engineering industry, humidity is the silent but most destructive enemy. Oxidation and rust can degrade quality, alter technical specifications, and cause severe economic losses to high-value metal raw materials. Recognizing this risk, HSV Precision Engineering Company in Bac Giang proactively sought a professional humidity control solution, and DeAir is proud to have been chosen to tackle this critical challenge.

1. Problem Analysis at HSV Factory's Raw Material Warehouse

The challenge faced by HSV, a reputable partner in the precision engineering sector in Bac Giang, was how to protect its 160m² raw material warehouse with a height of 4m (total volume of 640 m³). This facility stores high-value steels, alloys, and metal components that are core inputs for the entire production line. Even a minor lapse in environmental control could lead to irreversible damage, directly impacting final product quality and the company's reputation.

Inside the client's raw material warehouse.
High-value metal materials require storage in a dry environment.

Strict technical requirements were set to ensure the quality of raw materials:

  • Relative Humidity (RH): Must be consistently maintained at below 60%. This is a critical safety threshold because the processes of oxidation and metal rusting are significantly inhibited when air humidity is below this level. According to experts, high humidity is the leading environmental factor that accelerates metal corrosion.
  • Temperature: Stable within the range of 20-26°C, creating an ideal storage environment and preventing material deformation due to sudden temperature changes, which could affect product accuracy.

2. DeAir's Expert Solution: A System of 2 DeAir.RE-600 Dehumidifiers

After a thorough on-site survey and detailed latent load calculations, DeAir's engineers proposed and implemented a solution involving the installation of 2 DeAir.RE-600 industrial dehumidifiers. This selection was based on in-depth technical analysis and practical project experience:

  • Powerful Dehumidification Capacity: Each DeAir.RE-600 unit boasts a dehumidification capacity of up to 600 liters/day and an airflow of 6,000 m³/h. A dual-unit system ensures rapid humidity reduction and maintains stable, uniform conditions throughout the warehouse, even during Northern Vietnam's harsh humid seasons or when warehouse doors are frequently opened for shipping and receiving.
  • Energy-Optimizing Heat Pump Technology: This is the key factor for optimizing long-term investment and operating costs. The heat pump technology not only effectively removes moisture but also reuses the heat generated during the process. This helps maintain a stable room temperature within the required range (20-26°C) without the need for auxiliary heaters or the excessive cooling and high electricity consumption of air conditioners.
  • Durable and Reliable Operation: As a "Made in Vietnam" product line, the DeAir.RE-600 is built with high-quality materials and stringent quality control processes, ensuring durable and stable performance in Vietnam's tropical humid climate and industrial factory environments.

Do you have any questions about humidity control solutions for warehouses or other industrial applications? Let's explore more with DeAir through the FAQ section below:

1. Why is it crucial to maintain humidity below 60% RH for a metal warehouse?

Scientific studies and practical evidence have shown that the corrosion and oxidation (rusting) process of most metals accelerates significantly when the relative humidity (RH) of the air exceeds 60%. Maintaining humidity below this level creates a "safe environment" that dramatically slows or almost completely stops the chemical reactions that cause damage to metal surfaces.

2. What are the advantages of a Heat-Pump dehumidifier over an air conditioner for warehouse humidity control?

An air conditioner is primarily designed for cooling (removing sensible heat); dehumidification is a secondary and inefficient effect. In contrast, a Heat-Pump dehumidifier is specifically engineered to remove moisture (latent heat) with much higher energy efficiency. Furthermore, this technology reuses heat energy, so the output air is not overly cold, making it ideal for maintaining a stable warehouse temperature without extra heating costs or excessive cooling, leading to superior electricity savings.

3. Why are two DeAir.RE-600 units needed for a 160m² warehouse?

Using two units for a 640 m³ space (160m² x 4m) offers several strategic advantages: 1. Even Distribution: Ensures that dry air circulates to every corner, preventing "dead zones" with high humidity, which is crucial in warehouses with many obstacles. 2. High Performance: Accelerates the initial dehumidification process and quickly rebalances the humidity after sudden moisture loads (e.g., when doors are opened). 3. Redundancy: In case one unit requires maintenance or malfunctions, the other can continue to operate to maintain minimum safe conditions for the warehouse, ensuring uninterrupted operations and asset protection.
