Stellenbosch notes on dehumidifiers
A quiet compressor unit with a humidistat suits a student bedroom, a rental flat or an old Cape house in town, and a drain hose avoids emptying the tank every day. Wine cellars and barrel rooms look at industrial or desiccant units, with ducted systems for larger halls. Offices and labs at the technology park may want units that keep a stable reading all day.
Why damp turns up in Stellenbosch
Stellenbosch has a Mediterranean climate: hot dry summers, then cool, wet winters when the mountains collect cloud and rain. The town's old Cape Dutch buildings and oak-lined streets have thick walls that stay damp, and the student population fills rental houses and digs where rooms are shut up in winter. Landlords near the university deal with mould in bathrooms and bedrooms every year. Kayamandi, Cloetesville and Idas Valley have crowded, cold homes with condensation. Wine cellars, barrel rooms and research labs need steady humidity, and the technology park holds offices and data rooms, while many suppliers serve the town from nearby Somerset West and Bellville.
The requests we see from Stellenbosch usually come from:
- Landlords, agents and body corporates: controls humidity across a block's common areas, basements and a row of similar flats
- Offices, schools and clinics: adds humidity control to the air handling unit that serves an office floor or a clinic
- Factories and food plants: controls humidity in a clean room, a packing hall or a process area through the AHU
