• Energy-efficient humidification in ductwork 

  HygroMatik describes its VortexSteam humidification system as energy saving and hygienic, with short absorption distances making it ideal for installing in all duct sizes. The VortexSteam module creates turbulence in the airflow to shorten the absorption distance without increasing condensation and without loss of energy.

• HygroMatik’s VortexSteam reduces absorption distance for humidification 

  By ensuring the rapid take-up of mist/steam introduced into ventilation air in a duct, HygroMatik’s VortexSteam avoids the problems associated with water vapour condensing. They include poor humidification control, and ductwork becoming wet and rusting or supporting microbial growth. Water may also leak into the area being served.

• Humidification improves conditions for Air Traffic Control in Jersey 

  Following trials with mobile humidifiers to address problems with dry air causing people’s eyes to be uncomfortable, especially those wearing contact lenses, Jersey Air Traffic Control has installed four Condair steam humidifiers at its centre in Jersey Airport. The humidifiers serve the Control Tower, which controls flight arrivals and departures from Jersey Airport, and in the Air Traffic Control Centre — both of which were built in 2010 to accommodate the increasing attraction of flying to and from the islands.

• Condair controls humidity for printing works 

  Condair’s ML Solo high-pressure humidification system has been installed in the litho plate-making area of print company Polestar in Sheffield. Designed to suppress and disperse electrostatic charges when protective film is removed from the plates, this low-energy humidifier maintains 45% RH in the area. It was part of a project carried out by Arcade, based in Cambridgeshire.

• Humidity control 

  Humidity Solutions, which specialises in humidity control, has launched a new web site with improved navigation and enhanced compatibility with mobile devices and instant access to social-media links. There is also a new online shop for spares and product hire.
