If You Have a Classic Car, You Need a Dehumidifier in the Garage!

Classic car enthusiasts are well aware of the effort required to maintain vintage models. Indeed, the average classic car is fragile and vulnerable to changes in its surrounding environment, particularly changes in humidity levels.

Dehumidification is an essential aspect of classic car care, and Dehum provides the best industrial-strength dehumidifiers in Australia. Keep reading to learn about the importance of maintaining a suitable humidity level in your classic car garage, and how Dehum can help with this process.

The Impact of Humidity on Classic Cars

Humidity is a significant concern in both hot and cold weather, and can be especially problematic within a classic car garage.

Aesthetically, excess moisture will lead to cracked leather, rust, paint damage and damp smells; for classic car collectors, this is a horror story that will severely affect the value of your vehicle.

A classic car may also become non-drivable in humidity and will be subject to structural corrosion, as well as damage to the steering wheel and rubber seals.

Overall, no good can come from storing classic cars in a garage with high humidity levels. Relying on natural ventilation is usually not sufficient; to keep a classic car in pristine condition, you should consider investing in an industrial-strength dehumidifier for your garage.

Filtering Out Moisture to Protect Your Company Inventory

If you think that an excess of moisture might seem like it’s not a big deal, or perhaps something that may not affect you then you may want to take another look. Having industrial dehumidifiers in a commercial space is perhaps one of the smartest things that you can do for your company, and that’s not just because it can protect your stock and machinery, but for numerous reasons.

Many people and companies in the past will have used other common solutions to commercial or industrial dehumidifying solutions such as heating and ventilation. Both of these, while viable, aren’t really solutions that are good enough.

For starters, heating is used to fight against relative humidity in a commercial environment. Often, increasing the temperature will allow the air to hold more moisture, which then reduces the relative humidity. While fine in practice, this can be astronomically expensive for businesses to keep running in larger warehouses. It’s also not environmentally friendly at all!

Professional ventilation is cheaper and far more sustainable. Using natural solutions like wind and airflow, ventilation will replace the humid air with air from outside, allowing the air to circulate and will lower the amount of moisture in the air naturally. 

Using Commercial Dehumidifiers

We often talk up commercial or industrial dehumidifiers as the solution, and that’s not just lip service. It’s a fact. If your business needs any form of humidity control, then a dehumidifier is the way to go. It tackles the problem at the source by taking the moisture out of the air in a manner that is both energy-efficient and cost effective.

A fan will pull the moist air from the surrounding area into the unit, allowing it to encounter a cold surface inside the dehumidifier. There, the moisture will condense as the air cools and form water to drop into the container inside the unit. The dry air is then reheated, and the air exits through a fan. It’s simple, and effective!

Modern Solutions to Fix the Problems

Having a solution to these age-old commercial problems such as mould and hygiene issues, is only a click away with DEHUM. We’ll be able to sort out and perfect the problems that you may be having with corrosion, damage to any kind of machinery or inventory, and quality control issues that may occur.
