Mojave Energy Systems manufactures liquid desiccant HVAC systems that independently control humidity, cooling, and heating for commercial buildings.
Mojave Energy Systems separates latent from sensible load with patented liquid desiccant technology, letting buildings manage humidity independent of temperature rather than overcooling air to condense moisture. Its packaged ArctiDry DX reaches dew points down to 35°F while the hydronic ArctiDry Hydro reaches 25°F without glycol and recovers up to 12% more chiller capacity by allowing chilled-water setpoints to rise.
The platform is backed by 300,000+ logged field hours with industry-leading uptime (99.7% at the 100,000-hour milestone in September 2025), 25-50% energy savings and payback typically under 18 months, and multiple heating options including heat pump, gas, electric, and hydronic. Manufacturing in Anderson, South Carolina and an ETL-certified A2L-ready product line position it against conventional DX-DOAS and chilled-water approaches.

Commercial buildings now spend more energy controlling humidity than temperature, as modern codes and efficient appliances have increased latent loads while reducing heat loads. Air conditioning represents about 10% of global electricity use and emits over two billion tons of CO2, and Mojave argues systems should be designed and measured by how precisely they control humidity — its Humidity Performance principle.
The company targets the shift from incidental to intentional humidity control across grocery, industrial, healthcare, education, and data-center applications, where low dew points (25-35°F) are required. Sales growth runs through an expanding rep-company network across the continental US and Latin America, with a $19 million Series B (September 2026) backing manufacturing scale-up and new products on the ArctiDry platform.

Mojave Energy Systems' liquid desiccant platform ships in two configurations. ArctiDry DX is a self-contained packaged rooftop unit that pairs a variable-speed DX system with a liquid desiccant dehumidifier, supplying dew points down to 35°F, requiring only an electrical connection and installing as a drop-in replacement for packaged DOAS equipment. ArctiDry Hydro is a hydronic liquid desiccant air handling unit that connects to a building's existing chilled and hot water, delivering supply dew points down to 25°F without glycol while raising chilled-water setpoints.
Both configurations provide independent control of cooling, heating, and dehumidification with 25-50% lower energy use than standard HVAC, typical payback under 18 months, multiple heating options, 24/7 web monitoring, and US manufacturing.
