For smaller ice rinks and curling facilities, our PrecisionDry-ICE series offers specialized desiccant-based dehumidifiers designed specifically for economical ice rink dew point control. These units are ideal defogger replacements, delivering 35°F dew points optimal for ice quality without gas requirements or defrost cycles.
Breakthrough Technology Performance
Below-Freezing Dew Point Achievement
- Delivers sub-freezing dew points with above-freezing evaporator temperatures
- Eliminates ice formation issues common with conventional systems
- Maintains consistent humidity control in challenging cold environments
Superior Performance vs. Traditional Defoggers
Unlike conventional defogger systems that suffer from coil frosting limitations and frequent defrost cycles, our desiccant-integrated technology eliminates these inefficiencies:
- No Coil Frosting: Desiccant wheel integration eliminates coil frosting issues
- No Defrost Cycles: Continuous operation without energy-wasting defrost interruptions
- 60% Higher Capacity: Significantly higher moisture removal capacity compared to refrigerant-only defogger systems
- Optimal Ice Quality: Achieves 35°F dew points ideal for ice surface conditions
- Waste Heat Recovery: Desiccant regeneration utilizes waste condenser heat for maximum efficiency

Patented Operating Technology
Innovative Moisture Management Process Our proprietary desiccant wheel positioned between refrigeration coils creates a revolutionary dehumidification cycle. Return air is heated across the condensing coil, used to regenerate the desiccant wheel, then passes through the evaporator where moisture is removed at optimal temperatures. This unique design allows the evaporator to operate at higher temperatures while achieving superior dew point performance.
