Uni-P Dry SLGR Techonology

How does SLGR work?

SLGR microchannel technology helps to improve the performance and efficiency of a dehumidifier. It uses a special air-to-air heat exchanger system to help bring the air closer to dew point temperature, before passing it over the super-cooled evaporator coils. With the combination of a microchannel Alu condenser, a dehumidifier can maximize its capacity and efficiency. The purpose of a microchannel condenser is to improve energy efficiency. The use of microchannel condenser technology can improve the 50% dispersion effect of condenser, 30% heat exchange area, and 50% refrigerant quantity. When the SLGR microchannel is combined with the Alu condenser, the efficiency of the dehumidifier can be increased by 30% – 50%. This leads to more condensation forming on the coils inside the machine, and a faster exchange of heat. In turn, more moisture is pumped out, and less moisture is returned back into the room. This extra efficiency makes it a perfect solution for low-humidity conditions.

What is an LGR Dehumidifier?

The IICRC S500 2006 defines LGR as an enhanced refrigeration system that allows the dehumidifier to dry a space with much lower humidity more effectively than conventional dehumidifiers. Using the pre-cooling designs and air-to-air heat exchanger, LGR can effectively remove some moisture below 34GPP, and removes more water while consuming less electricity. It can also continue to dry at lower humidity levels, such as 80 F/20%, where conventional dehumidifiers cannot function. As a water damage restoration professional, you need professional-grade equipment to tackle the toughest jobs, and deliver outstanding results for your clients.

A powerful dehumidifier plays a pivotal role in your tool kit, and at Uni-P Dry, we offer a variety of dehumidifiers to ensure that we meet every need. We provide a series of professional dehumidifiers that includes both LGR and conventional units. Let’s compare the two to decide which would be best for you.

Conventional Dehumidifiers

Conventional dehumidifiers are designed for most water damage remediation projects, and just like the LGR dehumidifier, they can be easily transported from job to job and quickly loaded onto a vehicle. They draw moisture-laden air across a set of super-cooled coils, and as the air passes over them, its temperature drops below the dew point, causing water to condense on the cold coils. The dry air is then reheated and pumped  back into the room to collect more moisture. Compared to the Uni-P Dry SLGR dehumidifiers, conventional models are not as effective or efficient as LGR models at removing moisture, or drying the air in environments with large volumes of water. However, conventional dehumidifiers are less expensive than LGR dehumidifiers, which means that budget plays a key role in which dehumidifier you choose.

SLGR Dehumidifiers

SLGR is an abbreviation for Super Low-Grain Refrigerant. Uni-P Dry dehumidifiers use SLGR technology that utilizes the air-to-air heat exchanger mechanism to bring the air closer to condensation. The air is then passed over super-cooled coils and condensed into water. The dehumidifier uses the microchannel Alu condenser designed to maximize capacity and efficiency. This makes it possible for more air condensation to take place on the coils. It also allows for a quick heat interchange to take place, and leads to more moisture being sucked in, and less moisture being pumped in the air. It is ideal for professionals working in very wet conditions, and achieves the best results in the shortest amount of time.
