Dehumidification Systems
Commercial & Industrial
Dehumidification Systems
Control Moisture. Protect Your Facility. Maintain the Right Environment.
Michigan Mechanical Systems provides commercial and industrial dehumidification systems designed to control excess moisture and maintain more consistent humidity levels in demanding indoor environments.
From manufacturing and storage facilities to swimming pools, recreational buildings and other moisture-sensitive applications, proper humidity control can help reduce condensation, protect equipment and materials, and maintain the environmental conditions required for the facility.
Whether you need to address an existing moisture problem or incorporate humidity control into a new HVAC system, Michigan Mechanical Systems can help identify the right solution for your application.

Industrial Humidity & Moisture Control
Manage Excess Moisture Before It Becomes a Problem
High humidity can create challenges that extend well beyond occupant comfort.
Excess moisture can contribute to condensation on building surfaces and equipment, corrosion of metal components, deterioration of stored materials and unwanted changes in manufacturing or production environments.
An industrial dehumidification system removes moisture from the air and helps maintain humidity within a desired operating range.
Applications can include:
- Manufacturing and production facilities
- Warehouses and distribution centers
- Equipment and material storage
- Commercial swimming pools and spas
- Health and fitness facilities
- Schools and institutional buildings
- Indoor growing facilities
- Food processing and storage
- Automotive and aerospace facilities
- Electronics and sensitive manufacturing
- Other humidity-sensitive environments
Selecting the Right
Dehumidification System
Start with the Moisture Load & Required Conditions
Selecting commercial or industrial dehumidification equipment involves more than simply determining the size of the room.
The actual moisture load and required indoor conditions should drive equipment selection and system design.
Important considerations may include:
- Facility size and volume
- Current relative humidity
- Required humidity level
- Desired dew point
- Indoor temperature
- Outdoor-air conditions
- Ventilation requirements
- Process-generated moisture
- Occupancy
- Door openings and infiltration
- Building construction
- Equipment and product requirements
- Available mechanical space
- Ductwork configuration
- Controls and monitoring
Understanding these conditions helps determine the dehumidification capacity and system configuration appropriate for the application.
Dehumidification for New Construction & HVAC Upgrades
Build Humidity Control into the Mechanical Strategy
Dehumidification should be incorporated into a new facility or added during the modernization of an existing commercial or industrial HVAC system.
For new construction, humidity requirements can be considered during the mechanical design process so that dehumidification, heating, cooling, outdoor air and exhaust systems work together from the beginning.
Existing facilities may benefit from dedicated dehumidification when experiencing condensation, excessive humidity, process control problems, or changing ventilation requirements.
Dehumidification can also be considered when replacing aging air-handling equipment or upgrading a facility for new production, storage or operating requirements.
Refrigeration & Desiccant Dehumidification
Match the Technology to the Required Conditions
Different applications may require different approaches to moisture removal.
Refrigeration-Based Dehumidification
Refrigeration systems cool moist air below its dew point so moisture condenses out of the air. The conditioned air can then be returned to the space at the required temperature.
This approach can be effective for many commercial and industrial applications requiring general humidity control.
Desiccant Dehumidification
Desiccant systems use moisture-absorbing material to remove water vapor directly from the air.
These systems can be particularly useful for applications requiring very low humidity or dew-point conditions, or where effective moisture removal is required at lower temperatures.
Michigan Mechanical Systems can help determine which approach best matches the operating conditions and humidity requirements of the application.
Complete Humidity Control Solutions
Create the Right Environment for Your Facility
Michigan Mechanical Systems provides more than individual pieces of HVAC equipment. Our experience with commercial and industrial mechanical systems allows us to consider humidity control as part of the facility's overall indoor environment.
Dehumidification equipment can be integrated with custom air handling units, energy recovery systems, make-up air equipment, exhaust and supply fans, louvers and dampers and other HVAC components to provide coordinated control of moisture, temperature and airflow.
Whether you're trying to correct an existing humidity problem or designing environmental controls for a new facility, our team can help identify the right approach.
Commercial Pool
& High-Moisture Applications
Control Humidity Where Moisture Is Constantly Being Generated
Indoor swimming pools, spas and similar facilities present a unique HVAC challenge because moisture is continuously introduced into the surrounding air.
Without adequate humidity control, this moisture can contribute to condensation on windows and building surfaces and place additional demands on the facility's mechanical systems.
A properly designed commercial dehumidification system can help control indoor moisture while working with the building's heating, cooling and ventilation equipment to maintain more consistent environmental conditions.
Similar strategies can be applied to other commercial environments where high moisture loads are a regular part of facility operation.
