Aridair - portable climate control - bespoke heating equipment

Fire and flood restoration

Flooding caused by river overflow, heavy rain or burst water mains can cause severe damage to property and contents. There's a danger of contamination from raw sewage carrying extremely dangerous viral infections. And even after the water subsides, unless the dampness is treated properly, there's a risk of mould, mildew and bacteria.

Another hazard caused by water is damage to electrical systems.

Drying out property and contents has to be done carefully. If the process isn't carefully carried out, it will create excess humidity, which can spread the moisture to other areas, increasing the risk of mildew and other damage.

An Aridair system can form an important part of the restoration process, offering controlled heat and dry air, with remote monitoring to ensure optimum results.

River overflow and flooding of large premises

These types of incidents pose tremendous problems for restoration contractors, insurance companies and, of course, property owners. Business owners can lose production and stock, customers may seek alternative suppliers. Skilled staff may have to be laid off, and in some cases after a major flooding incident, the business may not recover and have to cease trading altogether. And even if the business can continue, there almost certainly will be severe disruption, loss of revenue, higher insurance premiums, and in some cases, the need to find new premises.

The restoration contractor has to be able to react quickly and dry the premises fast enough to keep business continuity. A large scale operation calls for skills, planning and equipment not used in every day situations. There may be no local power or heating, contamination of significant areas, the need to move stock, and pressure and expectation from the owners and loss adjusters for costs and drying times.

But with the phoebus rapid response heating and drying unit, easily towed and self-contained with on-board power capable of delivering a million BTUs of heat, the operator can cope with all these demands in the fastest time.

An Aridair phoebus 100 is the most versatile drying and heating unit in our extensive range of bespoke equipment, and it can be up and running within an hour or two. For the specialized restoration contractor, this piece of equipment gives the drying and heating capability to deal with the most extensive floods. Using hydronic controlled heat, Aridair gives the air sorption capability by raising the temperature of the wet materials. The water molecules turn to gas and expand into the heated absorbent air.

ARMS (Aridair remote management system) gives information on temperature, humidity and dewpoint throughout the building. Aridair data wall probes let you monitor the material being dried EG wood, concrete and plaster and control the process over the Internet from anywhere in the world. Can you imagine what loss adjusters will think when you allow them to monitor the job from their laptop and able to see the drying information 24/7?

Aridair provide a full and comprehensive training program allowing a fully trained technician to take on the biggest drying jobs with full documentation on drying, risk assessment, health and safety and environmental awareness.

The American market has already embraced this latest technology. Now Aridair have developed a European system to full EU standards, giving piece of mind for efficiency, effectiveness and reliability even in the most demanding circumstances.
