Title: Do you know this company
Post by: GURRELUND on January 06, 2005, 01:27:50 pm

I bought some second hand humidifiers before Christmas, but I can't seem to find any specs about them or the company that manufactured them.

I found the following inscription:

West air Dynamics Ltd.
Shildon Co Durham
380-420V 3 Phase 15 F.LA and some serial numbers.

They are definitely heavy duty but I would like to know the capacity.
Does anyone recognise the pictures or company name. ???

Don’t know the company name  but by the shape they look like refrigerant Andrew's dehumidifiers with heaters (hence the add on front box and the 3 phase).

A lot of dehum's were painted up/re-tagged and called somebody else’s name. They look tired and would definitely need servicing before use, and refrigerant  probably re gassing.

The heaters/drier's would also need seriously checking as these would collect dust/debris and i have seen similar even catch fire.

Not sure what you intend to use them for, but 3 phase are not the easiest things to place. The servicing could be quite expensive and therefore you would have to weigh up the investment against the benefit.

This is really a "best guess" from the picture and without looking inside but hope it helps.

Hi

Out of interest, how many of these did you buy and what did you pay for them?

Hi Peter H,

In the UK their is a goverment organisation called "Companies House" that basically stores most info on companies that are limited (LTD)!.
They would have info on old/defunct or existing companies like` West Air Dynamics Ltd`, but i believe you would have to pay a charge.
You can contact them on 0870 33 33 636 or email them on - enquiries@companies-house.gov.uk.
or just type-in companies house in to your search engine!

Good luck

keith
