Using Portable Ventless Space Dryers to Protect Sensitive Equipment

In enclosed spaces that are prone to humidity damage like closets or food larders, the H2out compact non-venting space dryer is the perfect solution. Being a small sized humidity and condensation absorber, this standalone device can save your valuable stored belongings from mold and moisture damage.

This post takes a slight deviation from the larger clothes dryers or combo units that the site focuses on to mention this somewhat related handy device that can effectively remove damaging and unwanted moisture from the places that larger dehumidifiers don't get to. The beauty of these great inventions is that they don't require any electricity supply to do their work.

What is a Ventless Space Dryer?


What we have here is essentially a larger and more easily handled cousin to the small sachets of moisture-removing silicate crystals that you find in certain consumables. These would include some electrical goods, video or camera packaging or for any product that moist air could cause a problem.

The H2out dryer is a little more than a perforated stainless steel drum filled with a similar dampness removing desiccant that is capable of keeping your storage cupboards and boxes completely dry and safe. The desiccant will generally last for up to two months before requiring reactivation. This is easily carried out by placing the unit inside a heated oven at 300F  for about an hour.

There are several models in the H2Out range of handy dryers for small spaces which are basically just different sizes that are perfect for enclosed spaces of a variety of sizes. They are perfect for protecting your possessions from water contamination.

They do this by eliminating rusting, corrosion, oxidization and tarnish on a whole range of electronic devices, tools, firearms and sensitive specialist equipment. They also protect your stuff from, mold, mildew, fungus and the unpleasant odors that can result from prolonged storage in a humid atmosphere.

The compact size makes them perfect for a wide range of applications and because they don't need a power supply, they can go anywhere. That includes outbuildings, sheds, workshops and garages as well as boats, aircraft, motorized campers and RVs, trailers and tents.

To tell when a unit needs reactivation, the blue media will turn a pale pink. The silica desiccant is safe to handle being nontoxic and noncorrosive.
