Kathabar designs and manufactures liquid and dry desiccant systems for dehumidification and energy recovery. Liquid Desiccant Dehumidification Most efficient above 7,000 CFM and when cool or cold dry air is desired Dry Desiccant Dehumidification Most cost effective for small CFMs and when less cooling is required Energy Recovery Systems Air and water waste energy used for heat recovery System Operation The Kathabar Advantage Elimination of airborne microorganisms Energy savings Industrial grade construction Long service life Simple operation & maintenance Low cost to own & operate Highly reliable Kathabar dehumidification systems deliver precise humidity control by removing moisture while improving sanitation and energy efficiency. A system to fit your dehumidification needs

Since 1935 Kathabar has engineered and manufactured high quality dehumidification systems to meet the evolving needs of industrial, commercial, and institutional customers while providing reliable, precise, and economical temperature & humidity control. Economic Value Comparisons With increased awareness of energy costs, companies evaluate the total cost to own and operate equipment rather than initial cost alone. Whenever a dehumidification project is considered, Kathabar can provide an Economic Value Comparison (EVC). This evaluation considers the first cost, installation cost, and operating costs for dry and liquid desiccant Kathabar Dehumidification Systems. Kathabar will calculate the cost for both systems and present the EVC based on specific ASHRAE local weather data, customers actual energy costs, and system operating schedule. To make sure the Kathabar EVC does not leave anything in question, Kathabar can compare both liquid and dry to conventional refrigeration systems in order to determine the best system for your specific needs. Ask your Kathabar area sales manager to prepare an EVC for your application. Performance Guarantee Kathabar provides free Kathene liquid solution laboratory checks for all installations. To take advantage of this free service, customers are asked to send a small sample of Kathene from their equipment to the Kathabar laboratory (at the Niagara Blower Headquarters in Buffalo, NY) every two months. The Kathene is tested at no charge. Kathabar will provide a complete report of sample concentration and condition. Through this process, the Kathene solution can be maintained at maximum dehydrating capacity, which ensures the desired performance of the Kathabar unit. Like-new dehumidification performance can be achieved through the life of equipment regardless of reapplication or relocation. This free Kathene solution testing service can also identify potential impurities in the system, allowing for adjustments even while equipment is in operation. Customer Support Kathabar brings over 75 years of humidity control application experience to its customers. The direct sales engineering team partners with each customer to deliver a system that meets the specific requirements of each application. The Kathabar application and engineering group provides customer support from concept through specification to startup with a focus on performance and reliability. Training and startup assistance is available for each installation. The parts and service team is customer focused to provide the highest level of service on a continuing basis to keep all Kathabar equipment operating at peak performance. 673 Ontario Street Buffalo, NY 14207 1-888-9KATHABAR sales@kathabar.com / www.kathabar.com KATHABAR Europe saleseurope@kathabar.com
