Humidification
Systems
Air contains water vapour naturally, the amount
it can hold varies depending upon many factors, including the
weather, the time of year and inside it is affected by any air
conditioning or heating system.
When relative humidity is high moisture will condense
on any surface that has a dew point lower than the room condition,
most often windows. When relative humidity is low, moisture is
drawn from the surroundings, including plants, foods, furnishings
and even your own body that results in a dry throat and mouth
and irritation to eyes and nose.
High humidity in the working environment is rarely
a problem in the UK most often in process areas or computer rooms.
High humidity can be tackled by dehumidifiers where there is no
additional temperature control problem or with close
control air conditioning where temperature is an issue.
Low humidity however is a problem in the working
environment for the reasons described above and can be most economically
controlled with humidification systems which can be free-standing
or even by water reservoirs on radiators, if the problem is a
minor one.
In industry and process areas hygroscopic materials
will be affected, for example: -
- Printing - paper will dry out causing
tight edges, misfeedings, mis-allignment on multi-runs and creasing.
- Textiles - yarns lose regain and become
elastic, weaker and more prone to breakage.
- Tobacco - dries and becomes more difficult
to process
- Computer - Electrostatic charges can build
up to dangerous levels leading to serious operating problems.
The result of low humidity is not only costly to
production and quality but can also present a serious risk to
the workforce.
The solution is to put moisture back into the the
air by using humidification systems. We can provide the widest
possible choice of effective, economical and reliable methods
of doing just this. We have a wealth of experience in this field
and offer a range of humidity instrumentation and controls so
you can monitor and control conditions for your production and
business requirements.
