Use cases for humidity control & evaporative cooling

Humidity control and evaporative cooling for all use cases

Humidifiers, dehumidifiers and evaporative coolers offer a huge variety of benefits across many applications. Condair has extensive experience in applying the latest technology to provide successful solutions for clients no matter what the objective.

Improving productivity

Any manufacturing process involving materials that are sensitive to moisture will be enhanced by maintaining the ideal humidity for the material in question. Managing humidity will enhance profitability in many ways.

Maximise machine uptime

A stable humidity maintains material integrity, minimises unplanned stoppages and the need for frequent maintenance.

Prevent evaporative losses

Stopping evporation can enhance yield, improve product quality, avoid waste and ultimately increase profits.

Extend produce shelf-life

By minimising moisture losses, produce stays fresher for longer, improving appearance, reducing waste and enhancing profits.

Evaporative cooling

When 1kg of moisture is evaporated around 680W of evaporative cooling is achieved. This low energy, high capacity cooling strategy has huge potential to minimise cooling energy consumption across many applications.

In-duct evaporative cooling

Provides cooling to AHU's with minimal energy use via direct or indirect strategies to maintain required temperatures whilst minimising mechanical chilling.

Outdoor evaporative cooling

Outdoor mist cooling reduces temperatures where mechanical cooling would not be practical, creating safer and more enjoyable areas.

Indoor evaporative cooling

Adiabatic evaporative cooling lowers the room temperature, saves energy and improves the indoor climate.

Chiller pre-cooling

Chiller pre-cooling combines the natural heat-absorption properties of water evaporation with mechanical chillers for economical cooling.

Improving health

An optimum humidity of 40-60%RH helps reduce airborne transmission of viruses, improves respiratory immune system response and significantly contributes to maintaining healthy skin, hair, eyes and vocal performance.

Enhance respiratory immune system

A relative humidity of 40 to 60% supports the human immune system and protects the respiratory tract from infections.

Prevent airborne cross-infection

Optimum humidity combats the transmission of viruses by reducing the infectivity and suspension time of viruses in the air.

Optimal humidity for restful sleep

Optimal humidity is crucial for restful sleep as it prevents drying of airways, respiratory issues and reduces snoring.

Animal and pet welfare

Appropriate species-dependent humidity is a key part of providing a safe, comfortable and welfare-focused environment.

Prevent dry eyes

Controlled humidity between 40% and 60% prevents the tear film from evaporating and reduces eye irritation and discomfort.

Prevent dry skin

An optimal relative humidity of between 40% and 60% prevents the skin from becoming itchy, flaky and cracking through drying.

Healthy voice and vocal performance

An optimal humidity protects the mucous membranes of the vocal apparatus and prevents hoarseness, coughing and loss of voice.

Longterm preservation

To preserve materials that are moisture sensitive, humidity must be carefully managed. Exposure to incorrect humidity can cause drying or moisture absorption, with resultant damage and degradation across many different applications.

Longterm preservation

Maintaining a stable humidity is vital for long term preservation of materials and artefacts, to prevent moisture movement and deterioration.
