Munters has been collaborating with Endesa, the first private Iberian multinational utility company in Latin America. Today, Endesa’s plants in Spain have installed Munters dehumidification equipment to protect and preserve elements within their thermal plants and combined cycle equipment by providing dry air during repairs and maintenance of the electricity generating process.
For example, turbines and boilers must be protected against moisture as they are sensitive to corrosion and can be costly components to replace, even more costly if interruptions are involved due to unexpected repair or maintenance. Munters desiccant dehumidification systems dry and remove condensation on boiler surfaces especially during the stops in the boiler steam cycle, while also preserving boiler circuitry to avoid corrosion issues. With Munters providing dry air for this critical equipment, they can be kept in perfect condition when not in operation, further ensuring an extended life of the components.
Munters dehumidifiers remove the moisture to prevent electronic and electrical failures. Year-round reliable operation is achieved with significantly fewer component failures and lower maintenance costs — a critical advantage in this competitive marketplace.
Endesa operates in many countries including Spain, Ireland, Greece, and Brazil and has 39 GW of installed capacity and 24 million customers.
