Innovative Airflow Solutions for Thermal Efficiency and Moisture Control

SCE’s patented DryJET-THERMAL® and DryJET® Ceiling Diffuser technologies provide high-performance airflow that protects cold spaces, prevents condensation, and reduces energy costs — all without the hassle of strip curtains. Key Features at a Glance Thermal Barrier Performance Advanced System Intelligence Installed System Applications Thermal Loss Prevention DryJET-THERMAL® creates a powerful horizontal air stream that seals doorways, effectively stopping heat transfer. Moisture Control DryZONE® and DryZONE-PLUS® provide superior moisture protection with doors open 24/7 — no strip curtains required. When paired with DryJET-THERMAL®, the system offers a comprehensive barrier against both heat and moisture intrusion. The images below show the DryJET-THERMAL® applied to the DryZONE-PLUS® tunnel to prevent the freezer from losing energy as well as from moisture gain.  A comprehensive solution that allows the doorway to remain open 24 hours a day with full protection against moisture gain as well as heat loss. DryJET® Ceiling Diffuser South African Patent No: 2023/007746 Engineered Laminar Flow for Condensation-Free Ceilings How It Works: The Coanda Effect The DryJET® Ceiling Diffuser utilizes the Coanda Effect, where cold, dry air flows tangentially across the ceiling at high velocity. This creates a low-pressure zone, ensuring the air adheres to the surface and entrains surrounding moisture-laden air — preventing ceiling condensation in cold environments. Installed Ceiling Application Example A horizontal film of dry air flows across the ceiling, maintaining dry, fog-free, condensation-resistant surfaces even in demanding cold processing spaces.

IceDryTM MX2700 dehumidifiers

“Meat Wholesaler cuts ice and cost with IceDryTM MX2700 dehumidifiers”

Pictured above: Frost free Chester Meats Cold Store in Durban, KZN Chester Wholesale Meat in Durban, KwaZulu-Natal, installed the Munters Desiccant dehumidifiers and which has significantly reduced their energy consumption and prevents ice build up. Willie van Rensburg at SMAC Enterprises explains how the Munters IceDryTM MX2700 Dehumidifiers helped in accomplishing a frost free cold store.   “Chester Wholesale Meat, based in Congella, Durban in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, was founded some 25 years ago, and has grown to provide packaged and processed meat and poultry products to markets across the nation. Chester is a significant importer of meats with wholesale outlets and a retail chain of 15 butcheries. It has also recently expanded into commercial cold-storage. While Durban’s moist and warm climate is an attraction for tourists, it provided a challenge for Chester Wholesale Meat, raising production costs as well as affecting the working environment of the plant. The problem was caused by moist tropical air moving inwards from the truck loading area and condensing in the holding dispatch section, which is kept at 10˚C. In addition to blinding mist, large amounts of condensation on the meat product, walls and floor caused a slippery build-up of water and provided a potential hazard for the workforce. This became so problematic that the area earned the nickname ‘the fish tank’.” View full case study here The effects of Munters IceDry Contact Willie van Rensburg for more info: Cell: +27 (0) 83 626 2149 willie@airtreatment.co.za www.airtreatment.co.za
