Dry air for less
Dry storage and cold storage facilities run desiccant wheels around the clock to hold 30 to 50 percent relative humidity. AirJoule Core DH does the same job with up to 40 percent less energy, and turns the moisture it removes into pure distilled water.
Desiccant wheels are expensive to run
A conventional desiccant wheel regenerates at 120 to 150 degrees Celsius, usually with a gas burner, and needs gas piping, a reactivation exhaust duct and a post-cooling coil to work. The energy cost shows up every month, and the installation cost shows up on day one. There are about 1.2 million conventional desiccant wheel systems installed in dry and cold storage facilities operating between 30 and 50 percent relative humidity.
Lower-temperature regeneration, recovered heat
Core DH uses the AirJoule sorbent, which releases captured moisture at much lower temperatures under vacuum, and recovers the heat of adsorption to drive the process. Head-to-head testing against an incumbent desiccant wheel standard shows significant energy savings across the target humidity range.
40,000 sq ft area | 20 ft ceiling | 0.2 ACH infiltration | RH controlled 35–45% | 25 °C indoor | 70% outdoor RH. Energy savings expected to widen as AirJoule prepares for product launch.
Water, not a drain line
The moisture a desiccant wheel removes is vented outside. The moisture Core DH removes leaves as pure distilled water that meets FDA bottled water and California drinking water standards, available for process use or remineralized for drinking.
Where Core DH fits
Dry storage and warehousing. Cold storage and food distribution. Food and beverage processing. Pharmaceuticals and electronics manufacturing. Anti-corrosion environments for equipment and materials storage, including defense applications
Deploying now
Core DH deployments to strategic customers began in the third quarter of 2026, following head-to-head testing against an incumbent desiccant wheel.
