What Size Dehumidifier Do You Need? A Complete Guide for UAE Applications

Selecting the right dehumidifier size is critical for effective humidity control in both residential and industrial settings. At JAQS, we help customers across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and the UAE choose the perfect dehumidification system based on space size, humidity levels, and specific environmental needs. Choosing the wrong capacity can result in poor performance, wasted energy, and high maintenance costs.

Whether you’re looking for a swimming pool dehumidifier, warehouse dehumidifier, or industrial dehumidifier in UAE, this guide will help you determine the ideal size for your application.

<br><br>Why Dehumidifier Sizing Matters

A properly sized dehumidifier ensures:

  • Efficient moisture removal

  • Lower energy consumption

  • Better air quality

  • Extended equipment life

Oversized units may short cycle and waste energy, while undersized ones will struggle to maintain the desired relative humidity.

Factors That Determine Dehumidifier Size

  1. Room/Area Size (in cubic meters):
    Calculate the length × width × height of the space. Larger areas require higher CMH (Cubic Meters per Hour) air handling capacity.

  2. Humidity Level (RH%):
    Spaces with very high humidity (above 70%)—like spas, indoor pools, and basements—require more powerful units.

  3. Application Type:

    • Swimming Pools & SPAs need heavy-duty dehumidifiers with corrosion-resistant components.

    • Warehouses and storage areas may need dehumidifiers with humidity sensors and continuous drainage.

    • Data centers or pharmaceutical clean rooms require precise humidity control.

  4. Ambient Temperature:
    Refrigerant dehumidifiers are effective in warm environments (ideal for UAE), while desiccant dehumidifiers perform better in low temperatures.

Recommended Dehumidifier Capacities

Area Type Humidity Level Suggested Capacity
Small Bedroom (20–30 m²) Moderate (50–60%) 10–20 Litres/day
Living Room (40–60 m²) High (60–70%) 20–30 Litres/day
Indoor Pool Room (100–200 m²) Very High (70–90%) 60–120 Litres/day
Warehouse (500–1000 m²) High (65–85%) 150–500 Litres/day
Industrial Process Room Controlled (30–50%) Custom-sized (500+ L)

FAQs

1. What happens if I use a small dehumidifier in a large space?
It will run continuously without reducing humidity to the desired level, increasing energy costs and wear.

2. Can I use one large unit instead of multiple small ones?
Yes, for industrial applications, a single high-capacity unit is often more efficient than multiple smaller ones.

3. Does JAQS offer custom dehumidifier solutions?
Absolutely. We design tailored systems for industrial and commercial use across the UAE.
