Condenso Designed for use in the recycling process, this Piovan technology complements drying and dehumidifying equipment by removing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from process air, as well as serving as an energy-recovery system. It uses condensation to capture VOCs, and incorporates the company’s PureTech filter system for mechanical filtration of dust and chemical filtration of VOCs.
What’s new? Condenso, which Piovan displayed at K 2022.
Benefits Energy efficiency. Condenso uses a specially designed heat exchanger that collects some of the heat from the incoming air and transfers it to the outgoing air, allowing it to minimize consumption of cooling water and heating power. It has quick connections to allow the heat exchanger to be removed easily, simplifying maintenance. Condenso can be added to an existing drying/dehumidifying system, and it can rely on its own control system, or it can be controlled by Piovan’s GMP and GenesysNext dryers. Condenso modules can be installed in parallel for higher flow rates.
