Case Study: Eliminating Moisture in Hospital Cleaning Air Systems
The Challenge
A General Hospital in Winnipeg was facing persistent moisture problems in its compressed air system used for cleaning and maintenance stations.
Despite having a high-grade breathing-air setup with three stages of filtration, water was still present in the air lines.
This excess moisture caused:
- Contamination of cleaning air and equipment
- Reduced cleaning efficiency and reliability
- Frequent maintenance to drain accumulated condensate
The hospital’s technical team had already tried several filtration and drying options, but none solved the issue permanently.
The Super-Dry Solution
Our distributor recommended and installed a Super-Dry D-1 Desiccant Air Dryer downstream of the existing filtration system.
✅ Compact and maintenance-friendly – ideal for space-limited hospital utility rooms
✅ Final stage moisture removal – ensures completely dry air before reaching cleaning stations
✅ Consistent dew point performance – stable and measurable dryness for medical-grade reliability
After installation,their technicians monitored the dew point and confirmed a stable –30 °F dew point, proving full moisture removal and long-term consistency.
Results
⚙️ Complete Moisture Elimination
The Super-Dry D-1 completely resolved the water contamination problem in the hospital’s air line.
💨 Dry and Clean Air for Maintenance
Cleaning stations now operate with clean, moisture-free compressed air.
🏥 Reliable Hospital Operations
Equipment can be safely cleaned without risk of corrosion or contamination.
📊 Proven Dew Point Stability
Technicians recorded a steady –30 °F dew point, validating system performance and efficiency.
Outcome Summary
By integrating a Super-Dry D-1 dryer into an already filtered system, the General Hospital achieved true moisture-free air quality.
This final-stage solution allowed the facility to maintain high hygiene standards, reduce maintenance costs, and ensure reliable operation of critical cleaning equipment.
