How Do You Know if You Need Humidification?

Humidification is an invisible aspect in an environment, yet it plays a crucial role in keeping a space comfortable for people and in how other items in the space perform.

Many industries have long recognized the benefits of proper humidification and actively manage that with systems designed to meet their needs. Here are just  a few:

Data Centers: Humidification is a key component to mitigate the potential of ESD (electrostatic discharge) in sensitive areas, rooms or buildings. ESD happens when the sudden flow of electricity from one object to another, caused by contact, results in an electrical breakdown. The result can potentially shut down computers, servers or sensitive equipment. Manufacturers have specifications on what relative humidity percentage is required for their equipment to operate optimally. 

Print Rooms: Paper loses moisture rapidly and the more paper in a space the more chances of ESD and degradation of the paper and print quality. Most paper/mill rooms require 50% humidity, +/-5. 

Humidors: Humidification in a humidor is vital to maintain the moisture in each cigar. Cigar humidors should be kept at 65% and 75% to maintain the proper moisture in the cigar for a good burn. 

Ultrasonic Humidification in humidors has become more popular to create a much better user experience with a cool mist high humidity rather than a muggy, steamy feeling when entering a humidor. 

Music Rooms/Studio/Piano Rooms: Humidification is vital not only to the wood in an instrument but also to the sound of the instrument. Most industry experts and manufacturers recommend instruments like acoustic guitars, pianos and violins should be stored in an environment that maintains between 40-50% humidity year-round.

Wine Barrel Rooms: Barrels are expensive. In order to protect each barrel during the fermenting stage, humidity and temperature controls are vital. Maintaining humidity levels replicates the aging profile of each wine and  will yield the bests results. 

Although corks are not necessarily used in barrel rooms, corks needs moisture too. A cork will expand to help prevent the leakage of wine and seal the right amount of oxygen into the wine bottle. Maintaining the humidity between 40-50% in a wine room will prevent the cork from drying out and cracking when opened or worse, leaking your fine wine out of the bottle while it’s aging. 

There are many other industries such as greenhouses, museums, manufacturing, bakeries and  hospitals that also rely on humidification systems to ensure the best outcomes and quality.

How do you know if you need humidification in your space? 

If you depend on a stable climate to deliver your best products and services then you will benefit from a system that will allow you to perfectly balance the temperature with the humidity to produce the optimal environment for your application.

How to Prevent Damages To Your Laboratory with Ultrasonic Humidification

by Leave a Comment

One of the biggest issues with running a laboratory is how much it takes to manage it. Most labs require extreme supervision for safety and control purposes. However, the real danger comes from the problems that cannot be visibly seen. Too low or too high of humidity can do just as much damage to a lab as any safety error. The solution we will explore is the use of ultra sonic humidification.

Without a solid humidification solution, low humidity can cause major damages to expensive equipment that may be used every day. Tools like spectrometers, scanning equipment, and electronic microscopes can cost upwards of thousands of dollars to replace. This is the last thing that should ever happen to a lab, especially if it is something that can be controlled.

Before jumping into the ways to prevent these damages with ultrasonic humidification, the first thing to understand is why humidity can cause problems for laboratories.

How Does Humidity Affect the Conditions of Lab Equipment?

Sudden rise in air temperature can instantly cause condensation to develop and form on the surface of all lab tools. This can happen when power is cut off, or shutting down air conditioning for a few minutes. A simple interval of increased temperature can create an extreme fluctuation in humidity.

When condensation forms, there is an increased risk of inaccurate readings and equipment breakdown. False readings lead to possible situations where the reputation of the lab can be put on the line, more money spent on continual maintenance of the equipment, and forcing work behind schedule.

Most lab equipments desire a relative humidity (RH) of 40-50%. Using a humidifier with an automated control settings will help maintain the RH at a steady level throughout the day.

However, there are other threats that can arise from humidification issues.

The Problem with Static Electricity

When the air in the lab becomes very dry, employees may experience static shock in various areas. Although this may be unimportant initially – common areas are door knobs and random metal items – once it begins to affect lab equipment, things can get serious.

Equipment used for lab testing can become damaged from electrical shocks. On top of the inaccurate readings and equipment damage, the main concern comes from the dangers of employee to equipment contact, especially if they are using it for their tasks.

Wooden Furniture Hydration Control

Wood is known to bend and buckle when it becomes too dry or too wet. Not controlling the humidity can cause the wood to warp. A wooden table, for instance, could end up breaking while supporting expensive equipment.

Health of the Lab Employees

Low humidity can drastically affect the health of people. This could mean the entire team can get bronchial illness, which will put everyone out for a substantial amount of time. Failure to fix the humidity even after an event like this occurs can cause backlash from the employee. This more times than not will result in frustration and employees quitting to find new jobs elsewhere.

How Will Ultra Sonic Humidification Help Prevent These Issues?

Ultra sonic humidifiers work by using high frequency sound waves to break down moisture particles to disperse a fine, cool mist. This mist is incredibly fine and looks more like a fog of air, rather than a mist. By using this mechanism with RO/DI water (purified water), damages will be greatly reduced. These systems are known to be more quiet than their standard counterparts, and has a RH control that will maintain that level of humidity at all hours of the day. The cool mist also keeps the laboratory free from becoming too dry as well.
