Combat summer humidity: how to protect large spaces this July with professional technology

July: the month when humidity becomes invisible (but highly unpleasant)

July arrives, bringing with it an uncomfortable sensation that many people cannot identify: that heavy, sticky and muggy air that turns offices, warehouses, basements and homes into uncomfortable spaces. Although we associate summer with dry heat, the reality is very different across much of the Iberian Peninsula and coastal areas: relative humidity rises sharply, especially at night and in poorly ventilated rooms.

If you manage a logistics warehouse, a large office, a basement, or simply want to keep your home in optimum condition during the heatwave, this article is for you.

The technical challenge: why July causes humidity to soar in large spaces

Unlike winter, when humidity decreases because of heating, the opposite happens in summer:

Warm air holds much more water than cold air. For every degree the temperature rises, the air's capacity to store water vapour increases exponentially. In large areas (over 100 m²), air circulation is poor and "pockets" of stagnant humidity are created.

Condensation on cold surfaces (walls, goods, electronic equipment) causes mould, unpleasant odours, oxidation and material deterioration.

From a health perspective, humidity above 60% encourages dust mites, allergies and respiratory problems, precisely when we spend more time indoors to escape the heat. The solution is not just any dehumidifier: you need extraction power capable of handling cubic metres of air continuously.

The solution: Clivex ProDry 50L Dehumidifier

The Clivex ProDry 50L Dehumidifier is an efficient solution for keeping large spaces free from humidity, specifically designed for large homes, offices, basements and warehouses that require constant control.

Key benefits

• Extraction of up to 50 L/day: industrial capacity to tackle the most persistent summer humidity.
• Coverage of up to 150 m²: ideal for large spaces where other units fall short.
• Dual drainage mode: 5 L tank or continuous drainage for uninterrupted 24/7 operation.
• Energy efficiency: 900 W/h consumption, optimised for prolonged use throughout the summer season.
• R290 refrigerant gas: environmentally friendly and highly thermally efficient.
• Robust and compact design: 53 x 50 x 62 cm, easy to position without compromising power.
• 1.8 m cable and multilingual manual (ES / EN / FR / DE).

Practical guide: how to choose and maintain your dehumidifier this summer

Before investing in a humidity control unit, keep these key points in mind:

1. Calculate the actual area: do not underestimate it. For areas larger than 100 m², a 50 L/day unit such as the ProDry is the right choice. Smaller models will operate at 100% without achieving the desired results.
2. Prioritise continuous drainage in summer: in July, with high humidity levels, the tank can fill up within a few hours. Connecting the direct outlet to a drain ensures autonomous operation.
3. Check the filter weekly: summer dust and pollen reduce efficiency. A clean filter maintains performance and extends the compressor's service life.
4. Position the unit correctly: leave at least 30 cm of free space around it for optimum airflow, and avoid placing it near direct heat sources.
