Humidity control

Humidity control involves regulating the moisture level in enclosed spaces to preserve material stability, protect processes, and optimize working conditions. The humidity control systems we offer efficiently maintain the required moisture level according to specific customer requirements, whether it involves dehumidifying or humidifying the air.

Why humidity control?

Adequate humidity control in many technological processes and environments plays a key role in preserving material quality, stabilizing production processes, and ensuring optimal working conditions. Excess humidity can cause condensation on surfaces, mold and fungi growth, as well as bacteria, corrosion, sticking of confectionery products, and ice buildup on surfaces. Therefore, dehumidification is essential to maintain precisely controlled conditions tailored to the specific needs of the process. On the other hand, humidification is necessary in environments where low humidity levels can cause material drying, static electricity buildup, or disruption of the technology requirements in production. Industrial processes, from raw material storage to the production of food and technical products, rely on controlled humidity conditions to ensure product quality and durability. Efficient humidity regulation enables the smooth operation of HVAC systems, reduces risks, optimizes energy consumption, enhances equipment reliability, and ensures stable production conditions.

Humidity regulation for industry

Pharmaceutical Industry
Preventing powder ingredient clumping, flow improvement, better production process control, compliance with GMP standards, year-round humidity control independent of external conditions.
Food Industry
Preventing powder ingredient clumping, better control of ripening processes, no sticking, prevention of mold and fungi growth, condensation prevention, and prevention of ice buildup in cold storage
Museums and Archives
Preservation of documentation in archives, exhibits storing, exhibiting in humidity-controlled conditions throughout the year.
Electronics Industry
Static electricity occurs more frequently when air is too dry (below 45% relative humidity). Proper humidity level prevents damage to sensitive components and production disruptions.
Printing and Paper Industry
Air humidity control is essential to preserve material quality and production processes, as both are highly sensitive to humidity level changes, especially to low humidity.
Defense Industry
Production of ammunition and products for the military industry, dry storage, and moisture protection are some of the most common applications of humidity control systems in the defense industry.

Humidity Control in Industry

Air humidity regulation plays a crucial role in industrial processes, ensuring optimal conditions for production, storage, working environment and comfort parameters. With climate changes and air humidity increase, the efficient air dehumidification systems are more and more needed.

High humidity primarily has a negative impact on production processes. Without precise humidity control, materials can change their characteristics, operations can be disrupted, and productivity can significantly decrease.

Accurate humidity control is essential for maintaining optimal working conditions across various industries. In pharmaceutical manufacturing, stable humidity prevents drug degradation, ensures a sterile environment, and reduces the risk of contamination. The food industry uses humidity control to extend product shelf life, improve consistency, and prevent spoilage caused by drying. In the wood industry, proper humidity level prevents deformation and cracking during drying, ensuring higher quality of finished products. In electronics manufacturing a controlled humidity level is crucial to reduce the risk of static electricity buildup and protect sensitive components from potential damage. The textile industry uses humidification to improve fiber quality and ensure smooth machine operation, contributing to overall process efficiency.

The industrial HVAC systems we work with primarily include adsorption dehumidification and steam humidification, two highly effective methods of humidity control tailored to the specific needs of various industrial sectors.

Adsorption Dehumidification – Efficient Moisture Management

Adsorption dehumidification is used in industries that require low air humidity levels. This technology operates using a rotor impregnated with silica gel, which adsorbs moisture from the air and enables precise humidity control.

Benefits of adsorption dehumidification include:

  • Prevention of mold and bacterial growth on raw materials
  • Improved material durability and waste reduction
  • Optimization of production processes that require low humidity, such as drying and packaging

Steam Humidification – Stability and Control

Steam humidification is essential in industries that require precise humidity maintenance to prevent drying, static electricity buildup, and compromising of the production parameters. This system ensures stable working conditions and prevents material damage.

Steam humidification offers the following advantages:

  • Maintains the quality of raw materials and final products
  • Improves working conditions, contributing to employee productivity
  • Precise humidity control without negatively impacting ambient temperature

Precise control of manufacturing and processing conditions plays a key role in ensuring quality and efficiency. Proper humidity regulation improves product characteristics and increases the rate and productivity of industrial machinery. Fluctuations in air humidity levels, especially low humidity, can lead to equipment damage, increased risk of injury, and production downtime.

Another important factor to consider is static electricity. A decrease in humidity can increase the electrical resistance of materials, potentially causing electrostatic discharge. Maintaining appropriate workplace temperature combined with controlled optimal humidity levels contributes to lower energy consumption and improved overall process efficiency.
