AMMRL: Humidity Question Regarding a Bruker AC 300

Greetings all,

My Bruker AC300 moved into its new space about 6 months ago. The room is designed for a NMR as the air handling system is tied to the O2 sensor. Here is where I run into my problems. Our Cooling/Air Handling system uses 100% outside air. If its 60% humidity outside, it is like that inside. I have only had this system about 3 years now and have discovered that of the manuals sent with the system, one detailing the allowed humidity/Temperature levels is not one I have.

The question I have is this, has anyone had to work with an issue to de-humidify a room with central AC and how did you manage to keep the system drained of water on the more humid days. I am hoping that someone has successfully plumbed into a drain, which I have available to me and could give me some ideas of dehumidifiers and sizes. I am working to determine the area of the room with our facilities staff.

If you have any ideas and/or lessons learned, all are welcome.

Thank you,
