Kyle Mattingly, a Project Manager at Polygon in Orlando, Florida, provides a concise overview of desiccant dehumidifiers and their operation.

Desiccant dehumidifiers are introduced as one of the most efficient and effective methods for removing moisture from the air. The central component of these dehumidifiers is the desiccant wheel, also known as a rotor. The desiccant wheel acts like a sponge, absorbing moisture from the air.

Different desiccant materials are used in the construction of the wheel, including lithium chloride, molecular sieve, and silicon gel. The wheel continuously rotates during operation, facilitating the moisture absorption process.

The dehumidification process involves two separate air streams. The first is the process air stream, which is drawn into the dehumidifier through the process inlet. As the air passes through the dehumidifier, the moisture present in the air is absorbed by the desiccant wheel. The dehumidified air exits the dehumidifier through the process outlet, delivering drier air to the conditioned space.

The second air stream is the reactivation air stream, also known as the regeneration air. This air is introduced into the dehumidifier and heated, typically using electric heat elements, gas burners, or steam. The heated air then passes through the desiccant wheel, capturing the accumulated moisture from the wheel. The moisture-laden air is discharged or exhausted outside the dehumidifier.

The video emphasizes the importance of proper understanding and utilization of desiccant dehumidifiers for effective moisture control. It encourages viewers to reach out to the Polygon team for any questions or further information.

Polygon’s expertise in desiccant dehumidification technology is highlighted in the video’s overview, emphasizing their commitment to providing comprehensive solutions for moisture-related challenges. By explaining the principles of desiccant dehumidifiers, Polygon aims to educate and assist viewers in understanding the benefits and applications of this technology.

Hi. I'm Kyle Lanningley, project manager with Polygon in Orlando, Florida. Today, I will give you a brief overview of a desk and dehumidifier. This is one of the most efficient and effective ways we remove moisture from air. The most important part of a descon dehumidifier is the desket wheel, sometimes called a rotor. Desket wheels absorb moisture much like a sponge. But this is not to be confused with the filter. Desket wheels are typically made of a corrugated fiberglass structure that contains a hydroscopic material that attracts moisture. Some examples are lithium chloride, molecular sieve, or the most common is silicon gel. The desk at wheel is constantly rotating during operation. There are two air streams that go through the desk at wheel separated by a seal to isolate. First, we have the process inner string. Air is moved to the machine via the process inlet. As the air passes through the machine, the moisture in the air stream is absorbed by the desk of wheel. The air leaves the dehumidifier much drier through the process outlet and into the space being conditioned. Next, we have the reactivation air stream. Reactivation, also referred to as regeneration, air is brought into the dehumidifier and superheated, typically done with electric heat elements or a gas burn. Steing reactivation is also an option. The heated air moves through the desk at wheel and captures the accumulated moisture from the wheel. The wet air is then discharged or exhausted outside. Please reach out to our team with any questions or if you would like to learn more. Thank you.

Bell partnership lets Hitachi target the classes that make up roughly 90% of the North American ADT market

Bell partnership lets Hitachi target the classes that make up roughly 90% of the North American ADT market

Through a collaboration with Bell Equipment, Hitachi Construction Machinery Americas plans to add three articulated dump trucks: the ZD30, ZD45 and ZD50. The launch is scheduled for early summer 2027, and Hitachi dealers in the United States and Canada will support the trucks. Ranging from 30 to 50 tons, the models put Hitachi in the equipment classes that make up roughly 90% of the North American ADT market. The lineup gives contractors a single dealer network for excavators, wheel loaders and articulated dump trucks.

  • 01Hitachi's ZD30, ZD45, ZD50 articulated trucks launch early summer 2027 and address size classes representing about 90% of North American ADT demand
  • 02Bell Equipment, with over 26 years in the North American ADT market, manufactures the trucks while Hitachi dealers distribute and support them across the U.S. and Canada
  • 03The partnership lets Hitachi dealers quote excavators, wheel loaders, and ADTs from one network, expanding their offering.

Hover 3D roof measurements now flow straight into Trussi roofing estimates

Hover 3D roof measurements now flow straight into Trussi roofing estimates

Trussi, built inside Shamrock Roofing and Construction, imports Hover 3D measurements into job records and estimate fields. Hover reports bill to the contractor’s own Hover account at existing pricing, with no markup. One phone capture can also support exterior quotes in multi-trade workflows.

  • 01Hover reports bill to the contractor's own Hover account at existing prices, with no reseller markup.
  • 02One smartphone capture can feed both a roof estimate and a siding, window, door and trim takeoff, which matters most for contractors who sell more than one exterior trade.

Procore expands NVIDIA collaboration on construction digital twins

Procore expands NVIDIA collaboration on construction digital twins

Procore has announced closed-beta digital twin capabilities, powered by NVIDIA Omniverse libraries, that link 3D models to procurement and schedule data and to DroneDeploy site captures. How much they pay off likely depends on how current each contractor's schedule and procurement records are, especially on data center megaprojects.

  • 01Procore’s NVIDIA twin links model to schedule and procurement data, showing how a late delivery can ripple into downstream work.
  • 02A delay simulation is only as good as the delivery dates behind it: projects that track procurement outside Procore would get the 3D model with less of the ripple analysis.
  • 03Investing.com says Commissioning and an IBM Maximo integration are in beta; they could extend the twin past handover as closed beta expands.
