Case Study: DeAir Installs 8 Isothermal Dehumidifiers for Klipsch's Electronics Warehouse

Project Background: Humidity Control Challenges at Klipsch's Electronics Component Warehouse

Klipsch, one of the world's leading premium audio brands, enforces the strictest standards for the preservation of its high-value electronic components. In its storage facilities, Klipsch faces significant challenges from Vietnam's tropical humid climate, where high air humidity can pose serious risks:

• Microcircuit Corrosion: High humidity is a primary cause of oxidation, leading to rust on circuit boards, component leads, and metal parts, which results in equipment failure.
• Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Risk: Environments that are either too dry or too humid can increase the risk of electrostatic discharge, causing permanent damage to sensitive semiconductor components.
• Material Degradation: Humidity can cause mold to grow on cardboard packaging, degrading product quality and damaging the brand's image upon delivery.

The challenge for DeAir was not only to reduce humidity but also to maintain it within a narrow range without significantly altering the warehouse's temperature, as temperature fluctuations can also cause material contraction and affect components.

DeAir's Solution: A System of 8 DeAir.CRE Isothermal Dehumidifiers

Facing the dual requirement of humidity control and temperature stability, DeAir's team of experts conducted a site survey and proposed the optimal solution: the installation of a system of 8 DeAir.CRE isothermal dehumidifiers.

This specialized product line is designed to precisely address Klipsch's challenge. The isothermal dehumidification technology operates on a superior principle that completely separates humidity and heat treatment processes:

• Humid air from the warehouse is drawn into the unit and passes over a cold coil to condense the water vapor.
• The resulting cool, dry air is then directed through an external heat exchanger (the condenser coil) to be reheated to its original temperature.
• As a result, the air is returned to the warehouse with significantly lower humidity but at a virtually unchanged temperature, creating a perfect storage environment.

Investment Efficiency Analysis: DeAir.CRE Isothermal Solution vs. Traditional Methods

Previously, achieving similar conditions required businesses to invest in two separate systems: an industrial dehumidifier and an air conditioner. The integrated DeAir.CRE solution offers superior economic efficiency.

Comprehensive Benefits of the Solution for Klipsch

• Absolute Component Protection: Completely prevents the risk of corrosion and rust caused by humidity.
• Minimized ESD Risk: An optimally controlled humidity environment helps reduce static electricity buildup, protecting sensitive microcircuits.
• Guaranteed Product Quality: Keeps product packaging dry, clean, and free from mold.
• Ideal Working Environment: A dry warehouse with stable temperature not only protects goods but also creates a comfortable and safe working environment, boosting worker productivity.
• Optimized Investment and Operating Costs: Significant cost savings compared to installing two separate systems.

DeAir's solution helps Klipsch meet strict industry standards for electronic component storage, such as JEDEC J-STD-033D. The need for precise temperature and humidity control is also critical in other sectors like pharmaceutical manufacturing and server room operations.
