Mojave Energy Systems Launches ArctiDry Hydro
Hydronic Liquid Desiccant HVAC System Extends Chiller Capacity and Improves Efficiency by 20% Sunnyvale, Calif., May 12, 2026 — Mojave Energy Systems, founded to change the nature of air conditioning, today announced ArctiDry Hydro, an innovative hydronic liquid...
- Changing the Nature of Air Conditioning
Built for Humidity Performance.
Mojave Energy Systems’ liquid desiccant HVAC systems control cooling, heating, and humidity independently — up to 50% lower energy use, with dew points as low as 25°F.
What Is Humidity Performance?
Most HVAC systems are designed and rated around temperature — humidity is whatever happens to come out of the cooling process. We think that’s backwards.
Humidity Performance is the principle that a building’s climate system should be designed and measured by how precisely and efficiently it controls humidity, not just temperature. It is the idea behind everything we build.
High-Performance Humidity Control
Independent Control
Cooling, heating, and dehumidification, controlled separately — not chased through one knob.
Verified Performance
Dew points as low as 25°F, backed by 300,000+ logged field hours.
Measurable Savings
25–50% lower energy use than standard HVAC, with payback typically under 18 months.
Innovative Liquid Desiccant HVAC Products
our products
Humidity Performance Systems
The ArctiDry DX family of products is expertly engineered to meet the demands of modern commercial HVAC, with both a variable-speed DX system for sensible cooling and a low-maintenance liquid desiccant system for humidity control. ArctiDry DX is also configurable with multiple winter heating options, including heat pump, gas, electric, and hydronic heat.
The ArctiDry Hydro family of products is a hydronic liquid desiccant air handling unit that delivers supply air dewpoints down to 25°F using your building’s existing chilled and hot water. By removing latent load from the chiller plant, ArctiDry Hydro extends chiller capacity, and even allows chilled water setpoints to rise, increasing overall chiller capacity and efficiency. Fully indoor-installable and compatible with waste heat recovery.
Both platforms are engineered as Humidity-First Climate Systems: independent control of cooling, heating, and dehumidification, verified across real operating conditions — not just at a single rated point.

Humidity Performance Applications
Mojave’s products are powerful solutions for many commercial building applications. Unprecedented dehumidification efficiency and capability make them ideal as Dedicated Outdoor Air Systems (DOAS), air handling units, or standalone dehumidifiers, able to deliver supply air at dewpoints down to 25°F.
The Humidity Performance Hub
The Humidity Performance Hub lays out the principle, the category, and the evidence behind it — what Humidity Performance means, how Humidity-First Climate Systems work, and how we’re building a way to verify it.
What is Humidity Performance?
Humidity Performance means a building's climate system is designed and measured by how precisely and efficiently it controls humidity, not just temperature. It is the intentional setting, control, and continuous verification of humidity conditions required for a building to perform as intended and to improve energy, comfort, operations, and reliability. There are four main principles of Humidity Performance:
- Design. Set the target before you build.
- Select. Choose equipment that can actually hit it.
- Control. Control it independently where it matters.
- Verify. Prove it is holding, continuously.
What are Humidity-First Climate Systems?
Rather than treating humidity as a secondary consequence of cooling, Humidity-First Climate Systems place humidity at the center of climate system design, allowing temperature and moisture to be managed according to the unique performance requirements of each building, which allows us to achieve superior Humidity Performance.
What does Mojave do?
Mojave Energy Systems designs and manufactures advanced HVAC systems built on patented liquid desiccant technology that controls cooling, heating, and dehumidification independently, rather than treating humidity as a byproduct of temperature control. We call this approach Humidity Performance, using Humidity-First Climate Systems to manage moisture as intentionally as temperature.
Our ArctiDry DX and ArctiDry Hydro systems deliver supply air dew points as low as 35°F and 25°F, respectively, while reducing energy use by 25–50% compared with conventional HVAC systems and typically delivering payback in under 18 months. Today, Mojave systems are deployed across industrial, grocery, healthcare, education, and hospitality applications, with hundreds of thousands of logged field hours demonstrating reliable performance in real-world conditions.
Buildings are designed, operated, and measured for performance across energy, indoor air quality, comfort, and other critical outcomes. Humidity Performance puts moisture control where it belongs, as a fundamental part of how a building performs.

Sustainable & Innovative
HVAC for the 21st Century
Mojave is leading the HVAC industry toward a cleaner future. Our systems use 25–50% less energy than conventional units, with future generations targeting up to 80% savings. Through innovation and engineering excellence, we’re cutting carbon emissions, improving air quality, and helping businesses meet sustainability goals.
Humidity Performance is how we get there — buildings that use less energy because they’re not fighting moisture with brute-force cooling.
