“Dehumidification equipment is an expensive investment. However, the cost savings are significant over time. I believe that it is worth investing in moisture removal in the future.”

Active Dehumidification in Finnish Horticulture

“The dehumidification system is especially suitable for Finnish conditions. Without equipment, greenhouses have to be ventilated by opening hatches to the freezing air, which in turn requires an increase in indoor heating, i.e. energy consumption. The greatest benefit of dehumidifiers is realized precisely in winter.”

The article includes photos of DryGair’s DG-12 dehumidifier, as well as a video interview with Patrik Sigg, of Svenn Sigg AB. Svenn Sigg is the largest tomato producer in Finland, utilizing 64 DG-12 units for humidity control and energy savings.
