Dry Room for IIT – Turin

‎ ‎

Il Disgelo designed and built for the Italian Institute of Technology (IIT) a high-performance Dry Room at the Environmental Park in Turin, intended for experimental activities requiring extremely controlled humidity conditions.

The system maintains a temperature between +23 °C and +25 °C and a −25 °C dew point. The Dry Room was subsequently expanded and the dehumidification system upgraded to maintain the required performance with the increased usable volume.

‎

Developed Solution

The expansion included a new area of approximately 16.7 m³, integrated with the existing structure using insulated panels and resin-coated flooring.

The air-treatment system was upgraded with a second high-performance enthalpy dehumidifier, installed in parallel with the existing unit.

The solution ensures:

• −25 °C dew point;
• +23/+25 °C temperature;
• high vapour-tightness construction;
• uniform air distribution;
• dual dehumidification system;
• independent management of the expanded area;
• dew point monitoring;
• control and supervision through CliMaLogic®.

Result

The project enabled IIT to expand its Dry Room while maintaining the required −25 °C dew point and controlled thermo-hygrometric conditions.

The integration of the additional volume and the second dehumidification system increased the facility’s operating capacity while maintaining stability, uniformity and flexibility of use.
