Groundbreaking Project: Westport 85

Groundbreaking Project:
Three RiteAire Marine Dehumidifier System Units
Installed in Westport 85 with Fresh Air Makeup System

Westport 85

The first week of March, Hector Escardo broke new ground for RiteAire Marine™ by installing three RAM Dehumidifier units in a Westport 85 motor yacht that was equipped with a fresh air makeup system intended to improve ventilation onboard. The fresh air system unfortunately was contributing to a chronic humidity problem that caused dampness throughout the yacht’s interior, especially in the insulation and the headliners. Testament to the custom nature of every RAM yacht installation, Hector designed an elegant air-quality solution for the Westport that lowered its interior humidity level by 40 percent in the first two hours of operation.

Hector Escardo reviews the plans for the installation with the captain.

“The fresh air makeup unit was bringing 500 cubic feet of outside air per minute into the boat, and that air was very humid. The captain had been running two portable dehumidifiers onboard for years, but they couldn’t handle the humidity,” Hector said, adding, “The headliners were not just sagging, they were dripping with humidity.”

The fresh air makeup system included a large air intake in the “attic” located above the helm station in the wheelhouse that was dumping outside air into the yacht’s return air system. It was so damp in the attic, which is only about 100 square feet in size, that Hector said, “At the start of the project, we had to get into that area with a bucket and chamois.”

Hector works in a tight compartment onboard

The second RAM unit was tucked neatly into a cabinet in the Westport’s dining salon. “We got permission to take over two drawers, but we were able to keep the front of the cabinet in place,” Hector said. The RAM installation also required adding air vents in the salon. “We are making custom grills for those vents that match the boat’s mahogany and sapele woodwork,” he reported. A utility space under the stairs leading to the forward staterooms holds the third RAM unit. Hector also designed and installed an innovative, custom air ducting system that connects to the Westport’s own ducts. The combined system now routes RAM-generated dry air throughout the yacht’s interior.

Before starting the project, a Greywolf humidity sensing meter placed in the attic above the galley registered a whopping 85 percent humidity. The custom RiteAire Marine Dehumidifier system lowered that reading to 45 percent just two hours after being switched on. The “set-it-and-forget-it” system now automatically keeps the Westport’s humidity level in the “Healthy Zone” of between 40 and 50 degrees.

Hector reported that after a few hours of RAM air quality, “The captain’s headliners were tight as guitar strings.”

Another successful RAM installation!

The New Year kicked off with a bang! Hector and his team have been traveling every week. First to Orange Beach for a Viking 68’ installation and then to Riviera Beach and most recently to Ft. Myers for double unit installation aboard a Princess 70’.

100% Success Rate: RiteAire Marine Dehumidification Systems Eliminates Hidden Mold Under Saggy Headliners, Inside Valances & Ductwork

Over the last 5 years, our RAM System has eliminated hidden moist locations where the cold A/C supply air hits fabric, ductwork, and air handlers condensing some moisture in the air leading to smells and unhealthy boat air with moist locations for mold to colonize and grow. It’s true…100% success rate with these preeminent brands: Azimut, Cheoy Lee, Grand Banks, Hargrave, Hatteras, Horizon, Jim Smith, Maritimo, Metal Shark, Nordhavn, Outer Reef, Princess, Viking, and Westport.

Prevent Mold Growth

As most of you know:

WE DON’T DO YACHT MOLD REMEDIATION. WE PREVENT YACHT MOLD GROWTH.

Let’s discuss some common misconceptions and facts in the marine industry about Yacht Mold.

EPA & CDC STATE MOISTURE-CAUSING HIDDEN MOLD & VOCS CAN MAKE YOU SICK

You may not know three facts about your yacht’s indoor air quality. First, mold can irritate your eyes, nose, throat, and lungs. Secondly, your yacht air conditioner cannot eliminate mold growth. Thirdly, when your yacht has a whole boat dehumidifier that maintains a 40-50% humidity level, then this eliminates mold, and reduces formaldehyde levels in your yacht.

MOLD HIDES – Check out this yacht picture. Mold needs moisture to survive. Reduce the moisture, eliminate the mold. It’s that easy.

RiteAire Marine™ is the marine industry leader in providing a whole boat dehumidifier solution that reduces moisture which eliminates mold & odor. The company, founded by engineering and marine service experts, designs and installs innovatively, technologically advanced systems. The patented system distributes the dehumidified air via the yacht duct work automatically removing humidity, moisture, VOCs, odor, and mold spores from the yacht air.

Helpful Tips Learned By The Virus Pandemic

Healty Zone Chart
Published: 1985 | ASHRAE Transactions, Vol. 91, Part 1, CH85-13 No. 1, 1985

High Humidity Supports The Existence of Bacteria & Viruses

In this report, we outline the scientific information every Yacht Owner needs to recognize that bacteria, viruses, and mold thrive in moisture.

EPA Endorses Scientific Research and Proof That Recommends An Ideal Healthy Zone

By lowering the levels of humidity in your yacht living spaces, this scientific data shows Relative Humidity has a direct impact on the Health factor of the air you breathe.

  • Results from a thorough scientific study in 1985 indicated that to create the healthy zone it is best to keep the Relative Humidity between 40%-60%.
  • More recent published scientific information from USEPA references this same study and further recommends that the range is really 40%-50% RH.
  • Review the chart to see the adverse health effects of bacteria and viruses are minimized within the Healthy Zone.

Patented Dehumidifier System Allows
Yacht Owners to Live in the Healthy Zone

The RiteAire Marine™ Dehumidifier System lowers the humidity and distributes the dry air via the ductwork to the main salon, multiple staterooms, and other yacht areas. The cycle repeats automatically removing humidity moisture, thus providing the control to keep humidity level within the Healthy Zone. Thereby eliminating irritants, such as bacteria, viruses, and mold spores from developing in the yacht.

Eliminate Humidity Problems With a Double Protection Solution

  • The RAM System provides a simple “set-and-forget-it” digital control that automatically maintains the humidity level within the Healthy Zone between 40-50% Relative Humidity.
  • The RAM System integrates a MERV 13 Air Filter in their circulation process. These high-quality hospital-grade filters with mini pleats last longer and are much more efficient.

Hector Beats Hurricane Dorian & Humidity

Capt. Brian Smith Video Success Story Praises Hector !

Hi,

Viking 68’ Captain Brian Smith of “Finish Line” shares story of he never knew how good he had it with no humidity problems until he didn’t have it.

He had an issue, called Hector at RiteAire and despite Hurricane Dorian, Hector flew in with fast support to Cape May, NJ and solved the problem within a day. No more humidity problems.

In fact, Capt. Brian states. “that after a year the boat smells and feels brand new. In their previous boat, humidity and slime was a big issue. No better way to maintain a boat because of the RiteAire Marine dehumidifier system.

With 90% humidity outside, he can set his air conditioner at 74-75 degrees and when you come into the boat it’s cool-no humidity. There’s never a mildew issue. No problems with ugly, saggy headliners. “
