HumiCool offers energy-efficient solutions for the optimization of the indoor climate for plant cultivation and livestock breeding, Spot Climate Control – systems for comfort and industry – and mist elimination for separation and cleaning in industrial processes. The technology solutions are based primarily on evaporative cooling.
Munters’ solutions are energy-efficient and environment friendly, which make them attractive for customers. The HumiCool division has a lead in the market thanks to its many years as a pioneer in evaporative cooling. A steadily broadened product range, special expertise in many applications and a global presence are some of the competitive advantages offered by HumiCool.
The division comprises three business areas:
- AgHort (Agriculture & Horticulture)
- HVAC (Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning)
- Mist Elimination AgHort products
AgHort products
AgHort offers energy-efficient methods for creating the ideal indoor climate for livestock and plants. Indoor climate has a major impact on livestock welfare, which in turn affects the feed/growth ratio. By this means, productivity is affected, which has a major financial significance for animal breeders. A similar relationship applies to the greenhouse industry. Munters’ product portfolio includes fans, cooling pads, air intakes, heaters and control equipment. Combined, they offer the potential to create complete systems to control the climate in facilities for livestock breeding and greenhouse cultivation. The two basic technologies are evaporative cooling methods and specially adapted heaters. Munters’ manufacturing is conducted primarily in Italy, the US and China.
HVAC: Spot Climate Control products and systems
Spot Climate Control is Munters’ solution for climate control subject to seasonal or space limitations. For these applications, Munters has optimized our HVAC product portfolio to include heaters, evaporative coolers, dehumidifiers and humidifiers which control climates within small spaces for specific seasons of the year. Manufacturing is conducted primarily in Italy, Mexico and China. Another application area for Munters’ GLASdek and CELdek cooling pads are pre-coolers that increase the performance of large systems. GTEC is a Munters solution that pre-cools intake air to gas turbines to raise gas turbine capacity. These systems are developed and sold from the division’s units in Germany and the US.
Mist Elimination systems
Mist Elimination is based on Munters’ proprietary technology for droplet separation, that is, when liquid and gas are separated mechanically. The products are manufactured in Germany, the US and China. A key business segment is emission control systems, for which the major application is Flue Gas Desulfurization (FGD), which involves the separation of sulfur from flue gases in coal-fired power stations. Other significant segments are Air intake, in which marine applications are common, as well as the Process industry in which Munters’ products are used in chemical process equipment for the separation and cleaning of gas and liquids.
