Condair DL

Condair DL maintains ideal humidity at the Paul Klee Museum

Bringing art, architecture, and landscape into perfect balance requires an environment that supports both aesthetic vision and preservation. The Zentrum Paul Klee achieves this harmony through its distinctive design and thoughtful spatial concept. To help protect the delicate artworks and ensure a pleasant atmosphere for visitors, Condair’s DL hybrid humidification system plays an essential role.

More about Condair DL

Where art, architecture, and climate unite

The Kunstmuseum, Zentrum Paul Klee, is located in Bern, Switzerland, in the immediate vicinity of the Schlosshalde cemetery, where Paul Klee’s grave can also be found. The building is dominated by curved arches that blend harmoniously into the surrounding hilly landscape. It houses the comprehensive work of the Paul Klee Foundation and reflects the artist’s complexity through the division into three hills. The North Hill is dedicated to practical art education, conferences, and workshops. The Central Hill is used for collection presentation and temporary exhibitions, the South Hill for research and administration. Condair DL hybrid air humidifiers create an optimal indoor climate for visitors and the sensitive works of art.

Condair DL

The Condair DL is the next generation of the Condair Dual2, the world's most successful system for adiabatic humidification. Its hygienic credentials have proven successful in practice and were verified and certified by independent organisations with public responsibility.

Hybrid humidification relies exclusively on the advantages of atomisation and evaporation. This results in the sustainable resolution of key problems which can emerge when these technologies are used in isolation. The humidification system is therefore the first choice in terms of hygiene, energy-efficiency and cost-effectiveness.

Elbphilharmonie, Hamburg - Germany

In January 2017, the Elbphilharmonie (or Elbe Philharmonic Hall) was officially opened after about ten years of construction work. Its unique glass facade, which plays on visual associations with sails and ocean waves, has already established itself as a new landmark of the Hanseatic City of Hamburg. Inside the Elbphilharmonie™s main concert hall, specially-designed and individually-carved wall and ceiling elements provide incredibly precise sound diffusion and perfect acoustics.

The main hall has 2,100 seats in total, and each seat is individually supplied with fresh air. Condair DL hybrid humidifiers ensure comfort for visitors and optimal acoustic conditions for the orchestra.

Actelion Business Center

Das imposante Gebäude im Stil des Dekonstruktivismus ist Hauptsitz des Pharmaunternehmens Actelion Ltd und wurde von den Schweizer Stararchitekten Herzog de Meuron entworfen. Die balkenartige Architektur erstreckt sich über sechs Stockwerke und bietet ungewohnte Durch- und Ausblicke, Erholungszonen mit Höfen und Terrassen sowie eine moderne Arbeitsatmosphäre für 350 Mitarbeiter. Durch die dreidimensionale Stapelung der Fassade waren 1.500 Detailzeichnungen, 2.500 Tonnen Stahl und 3,8 Kilometer Fachwerkträger notwendig, um den statischen Lastabtrag zu realisieren. Für ein optimales Raumklima ist durch innovative Hybrid-Luftbefeuchter der Serie DL von Condair bestens gesorgt.
