Combating humidity
Dehumidification when storing defence technology, ammunition and military equipment
The requirements for the storage of helicopters, vehicles, uniforms and ammunition for the military are the same as for many other lines of industry, successfully deploying our solutions: It is necessary to fight humidity in order to prevent the formation of mould, failures of the electronic system, chemical reactions and corrosion. For this purpose, military planners will find efficient dehumidifiers and innovative measuring devices in our range of products.
In the services numerous scenarios arise requiring a powerful and constantly controllable dehumidification system. Our experiences from the automobile and chemical industry as well as the logistics sector qualify us as a specialist to meet these specific requirements. For example military vehicles, aircrafts, helicopters and defence technology such as tanks, anti-aircraft guns or smoke mortars must be protected against moisture to ensure their operational readiness at all times. This applies to both the storage in depots and during transport in areas of operation by sea, air or land.
Dehumidification in the ammunition dump ensures operational readiness
Moreover, ammunition stored in underground magazines can react chemically and either be rendered completely useless or else does not work properly in the field – which makes for a highly dangerous scenario. Yet another challenge is dehumidification during a mission, e.g. climate conditioning of ammunition dumps or equipment using mobile technology.
Stationary and mobile solution packages for dehumidification
Trotec provides manifold solutions suitable for military operations. The stationary desiccant dehumidifiers of the TTR series for instance dehumidify large vehicle halls, hangars and equipment depots. Furthermore, they can be placed outside ammunition dumps and dehumidify these using air fed from outside. With the heat recovery integrated as standard and the electronic energy management they rank among the most economic devices of their kind. The dehumidifiers of the TTR series are also available as smaller mobile versions and the TTR 250 Ex is suited for use in potentially explosive atmospheres. Further suited for military action are the condenser dryers of the DH series in various performance classes for the dehumidification of storage facilities or sanitary areas. If the air is not only supposed to be dry, but warm, too, we recommend using electric heating devices and heating units. The robust high-performance heating device TEH 200, for instance, can withstand the harshest of conditions and was designed specifically for ambulant requirements in large-scale heating scenarios and corrosion protection applications.
Measurement technology is a key factor in this battle
Whether vehicle hall or ammunition dump, storage tent or uniform store: The battle against humidity can only be won with extremely reliable climate measuring devices and data loggers. For corrosion, mould growth, chemical reactions and failures of the electronic system can only be prevented at constantly low humidity levels.
Our service: Counselling for military planners
The military sector has its specific characteristics – as has every place of action, transport route or ammunition dump. Please contact us for consultation with the experts of our industrial services team. They will back your planning with capacity calculations, climate conditioning concepts and recommendations in terms of device selection.
