Preventive Maintenance Check List of Dehumidifier

In pharmaceutical applications, a dehumidifier plays a crucial role in maintaining a controlled environment, ensuring the quality and stability of products. By removing excess moisture from the air, dehumidifiers prevent mold growth, bacterial contamination, and degradation of sensitive materials. In cleanrooms, laboratories, and storage areas, dehumidifiers help maintain a relative humidity (RH) level between 30-60%, as required by regulatory standards.
