Dehumidification, temperature control and ventilation services on rent for shipbuilding
Ships are always exposed to the marine environment which creates the need for regular upkeep, both externally and internally. Ships are complex steel and composite structures that require regular protection and repair work throughout the year. The environment also makes it difficult to complete construction and repair projects due to excessive temperature variances and the high humidity typical of many shipyards. Temporary dehumidification and temperature control are one way to ensure that adequate conditions are provided to allow the projects to be completed on schedule without the risk of weather.
Problems
Relative humidity (RH) should be restricted to below 40% at the area where expensive equipment is stored and also during blasting & coating inside the ballast tank
TDS provides desiccant based Dehumidifiers along with other accessories and technical manpower to provide the desired relative humidity level. To overcome the high temperature level, TDS provides condensing units. TDS condensing units and blowers maintain the temperature between 30ºC-35ºC.
