DRI Ship & Marine Passive Desiccant Wheels are marine-grade, non-corrosive energy recovery wheels designed for onshore and offshore HVAC applications. These wheels are ideal for ships, laboratories, chemical facilities, and highly corrosive environments, where reliable moisture control and durability are critical.
Depending on environmental conditions and project specifications, the wheels are available with metallic or non-metallic substrates, including special marine-grade aluminum alloys. A wide range of casing options is offered, such as stainless steel (various grades) or protective paint systems compliant with C2–C5 corrosion classifications.
The hub, hub plates, and spokes can be customized to meet specific marine and offshore requirements. All diameter options are available for easy integration into marine air handling and ventilation systems.
DRI is proud to be the world’s largest manufacturer of desiccant-coated aluminum substrate energy recovery wheels, with over 25 years of global installation experience.
Our EcoFresh wheels are installed in some of the most iconic buildings worldwide, delivering proven performance and reliability.
DRI offers the highest recovery enthalpy wheels in the industry, featuring aluminum substrates coated with advanced desiccants. These wheels can be integrated into Fresh Air Handling Units (FAHU), Energy Recovery Ventilators (ERVs), or supplied as standalone ducted

Exceptional Selectivity with Minimal Cross-Contamination
EcoFresh wheels use Molecular Sieve 3Å desiccant (EcoSorb™ 300) coated on an aluminum substrate. This selectively transfers water vapor molecules while effectively blocking contaminants, ensuring near-zero cross-contamination between air streams.
All DRI energy recovery wheels are fully certified, with certifications from Eurovent and the AHRI program available. Certification details can be accessed through our website, catalogues, or provided upon request.

In ventilation systems, enthalpy recovery improves comfort and efficiency by pre-conditioning incoming fresh air using energy from the exhaust air.
