Muggy conditions ahead: difference between Relative Humidity & Dew Point

In UAE, most people think that humidity increases during summer but as the below graph shows, this remains relative constant between 26% & 92% throughout the year.

Relative Humidity- 1Dew point is a better measure of how comfortable people will feel compared to relative humidity as it directly relates to how perspiration will evaporate from the skin. The annual range in the UAE is 9 degree Celsius to 27 degree Celsius. This increases to muggy levels from June, July, August and September. This makes people feel uncomfortable, hot and sweaty. read more

Local ship requires temporary cooling & power while in the dock in port

When large vessels enter a port, most of the crew remain on board while the ship is in dock. This means that ship’s generator & AC equipment will need to remain active even though the ship is stationary.

The vessel might be in dock for a few days or a few weeks and hence it is not feasible to run the ship’s system. This is the main reason Freight Forwarders, Shipping Companies & Cruise-liners contact Andrews Sykes Climate Rental.

We are able to mobilize any size of chiller along with generators to run the chillers and/or ship power requirements. This is supported by our 24/7 service & maintenance team. read more
