CDI 5000 CFM Dual Fuel Electric Desiccant Dehumidifier

The CDI Arid Dry Industrial Series mobile desiccant dehumidifiers deliver high-capacity moisture removal for demanding temporary environments. Engineered with heavy-duty construction, this dual-reactivation unit operates on electric power or gas (Natural Gas/Liquid Propane). It is ideal for water damage restoration, industrial surface coating, and corrosion prevention.
