Re: Key role of dehumidifiers
if you are required to have tight humidity control, I would say yes you need a dehu
a bunker sounds like concrete,-- no windows to let solar heat in, no lights and computers running to create an internal load so not much to make an AC unit run on temperature control.Take the V out of HVAC and you are left with a HAC job

Depending on the requirements and the type of aircon. A concrete underground or semi underground bunker will be humid and have relatively low heatload. In this situation then unless close control units are fitted then a dehumidifier will be the more efficient option.

Re: Key role of dehumidifiers
Ammunition bunker require controlled humidity because some of ammunition is sensitive to condensate and when cold ammunition comes from outside in to relatively hot bunker, surface condensation could occur at ammunition and that could be dangerous. Therefore dehumidifier is needed to keep dew point as low as possible. In fact bunker cooling is not necessary since in there is probably always around 14°C but humidity should be controlled.

Re: Key role of dehumidifiers
Thanks nike how come you say that bunker temperature always remain 14 degree celcius
How to calculate the required capacity of a dehumidifier for a bunker size 7m x 5m x 4m to maintain a humidity level in the range of 40 % to 50%
