Mold
or "Toxic Mold Syndrome" is a hot topic.
Cases of black mold or toxic mold are frequently
reported in newspapers and industry trade journals.
Since ice arenas can be ideal sources for growth
of molds that are hazardous to some individuals,
managers and arena operators need to know about
this evolving problem. This article addresses the
basics of the problem and the conditions and challenges
in treating mold areas.

"To
prevent condensation, Graham installed enclosures
around the molds to limit air intrusion, and piped
desiccated air into the enclosures. The desiccated
air starts ambient air pulled into a desiccant dehumidifier.
One dehumidifier can serve several automated molding
machines.
There are a number of ways engineers reduce air’s
humidity. The least expensive most reliable way
of producing dry air in high volume is with a desiccant
dehumidifier."

The
impact of water vapor on ice surfaces has been a
definite target for the Recreation Arena (Less than
2500 seats). These venues have utilized desiccant
dehumidification to maintain optimum humidity levels
for the best ice qualilty while maintaining and
energy effective environment. Spectator Arenas (2500
Seats or More) have generally used traditional mechanical
systems that rely on refrigerant based cooling for
dehumidification and reheat system for temperature
control.

By
incorporating a desiccant-based dehumidification
system into the mechanical design for the hospital’s
operating suite, the overall system can be designed
for optimal and active humidity control. No longer
does the surgical staff have to tolerate less than
desirable space conditions. No longer would there
be a threat of it “raining” in the operating
room during surgeries (i.e., condensate forming
and dripping from the metal fixtures on the ceiling).
The common problem of the fogging of microscope
lens would also be eliminated with the lowering
of the dewpoint of the air in the operating rooms.
By incorporating a desiccant system into the mechanical
design, the absolute humidity levels can be dropped
much lower than the chilled water (or DX) coils
are capable of achieving.
