HCD Series

Modular Desiccant Dehumidifiers for Precise
Industrial Humidity Control

Humidity control is a critical factor in maintaining product quality, protecting equipment, and supporting reliable industrial operations. Throughout the Southeast, facilities contend with elevated humidity levels year-round, making effective moisture control essential for industries such as pharmaceutical manufacturing, food processing, cold storage, and advanced manufacturing.

The Munters HCD Series delivers precise humidity control using modular desiccant dehumidification technology engineered for demanding industrial environments.

Highlights

Additional Information

Description

Conventional refrigerant-based dehumidification systems become less effective in applications requiring low dew points or low operating temperatures. The Munters HCD Series utilizes desiccant dehumidification technology to deliver consistent moisture removal across a broader range of environmental conditions.

Each HCD system is built using a modular platform that can be configured to meet current facility requirements while supporting future capacity expansion. Systems are available for both indoor and outdoor installation, depending on project needs.

Modular Design

Scalable configurations designed to adapt to facility requirements and future expansion.

Wide Airflow Capacity

Available from 300 to 12,000 CFM to support small- and large-scale applications.

Advanced PLC Controls

Integrated control systems provide precise humidity management and system monitoring.

Energy-Efficient Operation

Designed to optimize performance while minimizing operational costs.

Indoor or Outdoor Installation

Flexible installation options to fit facility constraints.

Durable Industrial Construction

Built for demanding environments and continuous operation.

Desiccant dehumidification provides reliable humidity control in applications where conventional refrigeration-based systems may be limited. The HCD Series helps maintain stable environmental conditions while reducing the risk of condensation, equipment corrosion, product quality issues, and moisture-related process interruptions.

Integrated PLC controls provide accurate system monitoring and humidity management, while the modular design simplifies future expansion and long-term maintenance planning.

Applications for the HCD Series

Pharmaceutical Manufacturing

Pharmaceutical manufacturing and storage environments require precise humidity control to support product quality and regulatory compliance. The HCD Series helps maintain stable environmental conditions that align with GMP requirements and validated manufacturing processes.

Food Processing

Excess moisture can contribute to product quality issues, microbial growth, and sanitation challenges within food processing environments. Reliable humidity control helps protect production processes while supporting food safety initiatives.

Cold Storage

Condensation within refrigerated facilities can create safety hazards, reduce operational efficiency, and accelerate equipment deterioration. Desiccant dehumidification removes moisture before condensation develops, helping maintain safer and more efficient cold storage environments.

Water Treatment Plants

Water treatment facilities often operate in high-moisture environments that can accelerate corrosion of electrical equipment, controls, and instrumentation. Maintaining appropriate humidity levels helps extend equipment life and improve system reliability.

Industrial Manufacturing

Many manufacturing processes depend on stable environmental conditions to maintain product quality and process consistency. Effective humidity control helps reduce moisture-related defects while supporting reliable production performance

Tube Diameter

Use a caliper or tape measure to determine the outside diameter of the tubes.

If necessary, remove insulation to see the incoming and outgoing lines. Measure the diameter of the outside of the line to help determine connection size.

Standard connection types are MPT (male pipe thread), FPT (female pipe thread), and Copper Sweat Connection. MPT is threaded on the outside, FPT is threaded on the inside, and Copper Sweat is used for soldered connections

Fins per Inch

Using a ruler, count the number of fins on the coil within one inch. Normal fin counts will be between 4 and 14 FPI.

Fin Length

Measure in the direction of the tubes, regardless of which direction the tubes are running.

Fin Height

Measure in the direction of the fin.

Single, Double, and Half Serpentine

Rows are counted in the direction of airflow, no matter how the coil is installed. You can count rows by looking at either the header end or the return bend end of the coil. Note that headers or return bends may not be evenly spaced across the coil.

Fluid coils—hot water, chilled water, and glycol water—regulate building air temperature by heating or cooling air in Air Handling Units (AHUs). Constructed with multiple rows of tubes, typically copper, these coils efficiently transfer heat between air and circulating fluids. They are vital for year-round comfort, accommodating diverse fluids like glycols and thermal oils for varied HVAC needs.

Condenser coils transfer heat from refrigerant vapor to the outdoor air, ensuring efficient cooling in HVAC and refrigeration systems. Constructed from materials like copper or aluminum to maximize heat transfer, these coils are vital for maintaining precise temperature control in industrial and commercial environments.

Steam coils utilize the latent heat of steam, released during condensation from vapor to liquid. They feature efficient condensate management to prevent water buildup and ensure uniform steam distribution. Available in configurations for high and low-pressure applications, steam coils are highly effective for heating air in a wide range of environments.

Evaporator coils absorb heat from indoor air to cool and dehumidify spaces by evaporating refrigerant from liquid to vapor. Located indoors, these coils are essential for maintaining comfortable environments in industrial and commercial settings, offering excellent performance in cooling, process cooling, and dehumidification applications. They are versatile for use in Air Handling Units (AHUs), central systems, or duct installations.
