Dehumidifiers in Upington: local notes
A dehumidifier in Upington is seldom needed for the climate and mostly serves special cases: a flooded bathroom, a cold store, a wine cellar, a date or raisin packing shed, or a house after a burst geyser. Desiccant and compressor units for packing sheds are sized from the moisture load by an HVAC engineer. In a hot room, a compressor unit works well, but check the power draw.
Why damp turns up in Upington
Upington is a hot desert town beside the Orange River, with summer heat well into the high thirties and very low rainfall, so outdoor humidity is among the lowest in the country. Damp is rare and local: a burst geyser, an air-conditioner or pipe leak, a flooded bathroom, condensation in a cold winter bedroom in Paballelo or Louisvale, and humidity in irrigated vineyards, date farms and packing sheds along the river at Kakamas and Keimoes. Dry air makes humidifiers common for skin, noses and wood, and suppliers often come from Kimberley, Cape Town or Johannesburg.
The requests we see from Upington usually come from:
- Homeowners and tenants: dries several rooms at once in a larger house, with no machine to empty or move around
- Insurers, assessors and restoration firms: adds drying capacity through an existing duct system in a building affected by damp
