How it works

Condensation, which occurs when air cools below the temperature at which it cannot hold all its water vapour (an invisible gas that constitutes almost 1% of the air we breathe), is the silent catalyst for corrosion on all parts of our vehicles. It also encourages the formation of mildew on fabrics and leather.

AIRCHAMBER’s carefully designed outer envelope uses twin 12V fans to flow air through the chamber with sufficient velocity to prevent the air from cooling to the temperature at which it would deposit moisture as condensation. In addition, the constant flow of air absorbs moisture that may already be present on parts of your vehicle, for instance in parts of chassis members and underbody fittings.

AIRCHAMBER’s sturdy envelope is supported by our unique space saving frame which allows instant access through the vehicle entrance and two side entrance doors. In the event of a power failure the chamber will not collapse so allowing normal entry to and exit from the AIRCHAMBER. 

Air is drawn into the AIRCHAMBER through easily cleaned electrostatic filters which remove dust and dirt. In addition the positive pressure maintained within the chamber prevents dust and insects from entering it. A freshly cleaned vehicle will remain so, even after many months of storage in an AIRCHAMBER.

How does the Airchamber keep my car dry, garage gets very damp especially in winter?

Air absorbs moisture as a colourless and harmless gas we call water vapour and the amount of water vapour in a volume of air depends on the temperature. The process is called evaporation and the higher the temperature of the air, the more moisture it can absorb as a gas. The reverse of this process is condensation, air cooled (for instance by cold surfaces) loses its ability to hold as much water vapour, the excess water vapour changes back to moisture and appears on walls, floors and anything else in the building, such as your car.

By gently flowing air through the Airchamber we maximise the rate at which evaporation of any moisture that may be present on exposed metal surfaces, whatever the temperature of that air is. Your damp garage actually contains relatively dry air, the moisture it contained has simply condensed out as it came into contact with cold walls, floors and ceilings to produce a damp building.

The other and equally important benefit of Airchamber is that condensation is very unlikely to occur in it. The reason for this is that air is constantly moving through the airchamber, it is not circulating, and so does not cool while it flows through the Airchamber. No change of temperature within the Airchamber means no condensation, so there is no moisture to promote rust and other forms of corrosion.

Why does Airchamber storage prevent rust from forming?

The process of rusting, and other forms of corrosion seen on aluminium for instance, is due to  electrolytic action. The electrolyte is normally a salt which has dissolved in moisture deposited by condensation, or by driving your car or bike on wet roads. By removing  moisture Airchamber dries out the electrolyte  and by eliminating condensation minimises any chance of an electrolyte forming in the first place.

How much does Airchamber cost to run?

Airchamber relies on high efficiency brushless 12V automotive specification fans to produce its airflow. Rated at 320mAmps at 12V the energy cost for an Airchamber in continuous use is about £25 per year at typical Domestic electricity tariffs.

Should I turn my Airchamber off during the summer?

No! Even during the best summer weather air temperatures fall at night and condensation is always possible (that is how you can collect water overnight in a desert). And Airchamber’s micro air filters catch dust and insects to keep your car or belongings as clean as they were when they entered the Airchamber.

Should I use a cover on my car in the Airchamber?

Definitely not! Airchamber works because it flows air across every surface of your car or belongings. A cover will restrict the airflow and allow stagnant air to collect, which promotes condensation.

Will a dehumidifier help my Airchamber work even better?

Once again no, it is completely unnecessary and a waste of energy. A typical dehumidifier has a power consumption at least 30 times that of an Airchamber. A certain amount of water vapour in the air is in fact a good thing, if air is too dry it tends to crack leather seats and wood and make oil seals on mechanical components brittle.

Can I use the Battery Conditioner on my lawn mower during the winter?

Yes, the Airflow Battery Conditioner can be connected to any 12V lead/acid or gel battery and will keep the mower battery in a fully charged state throughout the winter, and vastly extend the useful life of the battery. Other popular uses, apart from infrequently used vehicles, are batteries in boats, jet skis and caravans and light aircraft.

Could moisture be killing your car or possessions?

Unless you keep them in a controlled environment it most certainly will be. Nothing poses a bigger threat to the owners of cherished vehicles and possessions than hidden moisture and constant condensation. That’s why serious car collectors and storage companies throughout the world use Airchamber to preserve their vehicles and possessions from long term damage through corrosion and mildew as well as dust and airborne pollutants.

Stop the Rot

The reason Airchamber works so well is it is simple yet extremely effective. And in a world of ever increasing energy costs it is a very economical dry storage solution for both individual collectors and professional storage companies who recognise Airchamber UK as the leading company in car and bike preservation products.

Twin highly efficient fans flow up to 50,000 litres of clean air through the storage cell after even the smallest airborne particles have been trapped by the electrostatic filters. Moving air naturally absorbs moisture by promoting evaporation just as a washing line does. The moisture escapes with the airflow as water vapour through vents and the closed zips in the Airchamber cover. Even a wet car can dry relatively quickly in an Airchamber. And because the air is constantly being replenished the chamber will remain condensation free (quite simply because rapid changes in temperature cannot occur). The result is  dry and clean storage conditions, a beautifully cleaned car or motorbike will remain so even when kept in an Airchamber for long periods of time.
