Humidification regulates humidity in various environments, reducing the risk of fire and static electricity and preventing warping in materials. Delicate areas require precise humidity levels achieved through liquid atomizers and sensors. Humidity is measured in absolute and relative quantities, with a comfortable level between 35% and 50%. Humidifiers are inexpensive and require little maintenance, often integrated with heating and cooling systems. Mechanical engineers design humidification systems connected to ventilation systems, and it is also used to “relax” old documents.
Humidification is the artificial regulation of humidity in domestic environments, industrial environments and healthcare applications such as artificial respiration. To feel comfortable, people require a certain amount of ambient humidity in the air, neither too high nor too low. Proper humidification in a manufacturing environment stabilizes moisture in wood, paper and fabrics, preventing warping in glue joints. In all environments, it reduces the risk of fire and static electricity, making the environment comfortable.
Areas where delicate components such as electronics are assembled require precisely regulated humidity levels. Humidification is achieved using liquid atomizers that distribute humidity throughout the area, coupled with accurate sensors that measure ambient humidity.
Two quantities are commonly used to measure humidification. Absolute humidity is expressed in grams of humidity per cubic volume of air, while the more commonly used relative humidity is expressed as the ratio of the amount of moisture currently present in the air to the maximum humidity the air could hold before condensation occurs. A typical comfortable level of relative humidity is between 35% and 50%. Excess moisture can cause mold or mildew growth. Too little can cause static or unwanted dust buildup, contributing to allergies.
Many humidifiers are inexpensive and require little maintenance. In industrial settings, they are often suspended from the ceiling between ductwork. Humidification is intimately linked to heating and cooling systems. The level of humidity in the air is also a function of temperature, so control systems are often integrated with cooling systems.
Humidification systems are designed by mechanical engineers and are also connected to ventilation systems. With adequate ventilation from the outside, the humidity in an internal environment will tend to reach equilibrium with the outside. Humidification is also used to “relax” old documents that have become wrinkled over time.
