Perfect garage climate for optimum value retention

Using active climate management, you can reliably protect your chrome jewels against all hazards lurking in a garage

Perfect garage climate for optimum value retention

Reliable. Low-maintenance. With loving attention to your car.

The permanent value conservation of motorized dreams is probably one of the biggest challenges for every car lover. For chrome jewels ought to shine, not rust away. Therefore, except during car trips or rallies, they spend most of their time inside a suitable garage where they are well-protected.

Or perhaps not? What if rust and corrosion have already started their destructive work, or mould is invisibly flourishing behind the dashboard, in the seats or under the carpet? Not all of that is patina! Our garage guide informs you about what dangers lurk in your garage.

Hand on heart! You may check the oil level and coolant of your classic car regularly. But do you also check the humidity level in your garage? As a precautionary measure? Moisture is the worst enemy of every classic motor car.

The garage provides protection against harmful weather effects, but not against the consequences of too humid (more than 50 % RH) or too dry (less than 40 % RH) garage air.

The ThinC! technology ensures an ideal garage climate throughout the year.


Old love does not rust? It does!

Unfavourable garage climate is a frequent cause of vehicle damage

In the summertime the humidity level is extremely high. Average humidity values of 95 % are not uncommon in Europe. We perceive this kind of weather as dank or muggy, our cars have to face worse: Already from a relative humidity of approx. 55 % metal begins to corrode extremely and places where moisture accumulates can no longer dry out.

After only a few hours at a humidity of 70 % there is an ideal breeding ground for mould.

In the winter, too, humidity constitutes the vehicle's number one enemy: Cold air absorbs less humidity than warm air. Therefore, moisture collects on surfaces – particularly on cold metal surfaces.

There it finds its way into the smallest nooks and openings, which can lead to corrosion. The vehicle's interior also suffers from sharp frost: Synthetics and leather can become porous.


CONSERVATION INSTEAD OF RESTORATION.

A classic car should age in dignity. Diligently patinized classic cars are witnesses with a visible history which needs to be preserved. Leather requires a certain humidity level to be able to breathe, or else it will become brittle. Below a humidity level of 40 %, seals lose their elasticity and cable connections may break.

Preserve the value and authenticity of your classic car using
ThinC! climate management.

SHINING,
NOT RUSTING.

Chrome jewels only retain their shine with the right garage climate. An optimally controlled humidity level provides protection against corrosion, mould formation and unpleasant odours. Moreover, the ThinC! technology of the VPR+ climate managers effectively reduces the smell of petrol as well as soot, dust and bacteria.

Preserve the unique original condition of your classic car using the value-maintaining VPR+ climate manager.

VPR+ is a globally unique device series of intelligent climate managers specially designed for use in garages, and offers active climate management with a 4-in-1 function providing protection against humidity, odour, soot and dust.

With the DH 15 VPR+, DH 30 VPR+ and DH 60 VPR+ the exclusive climate manager series contains three device sizes and performance classes offering you the ideal climate manager for every garage space. All three climate managers unite constant protection against moisture, effective odour neutralisation and air pollution control – all in one appealing device on a high performance level. What takes action within is not only a high-class industrial dehumidifier defrosted by use of hot gas for operating environments from 5 °C, but also a powerful NTP air purification unit. Thanks to this perfectly adapted combination of effects, the relative humidity in your garage is reliably kept at an ideal level between 45 and 50 % to provide protection against corrosion, mould, porosity and decomposition. At the same time, the high-quality industrial ionizer creates an agreeably non-irritating environment, free from airborne odours, pollutants and microorganisms that are corrosive to the material. The processes of air cleaning and dehumidifying may be performed independently. In combination with a special two-component filter for dust and soot every DH-VPR+ becomes a perfect climate manager and an active protector of values and valuables in a garage.
