Optimum indoor climate: healthy, efficient and sustainable

Optimum indoor climate: healthy, efficient and sustainable

Indoor air quality has a decisive influence on the people who spend time there. An optimum humidity level of 40-60% improves performance, means less dust pollution and generally increases well-being. However, such ideal conditions are rarely found indoors. This is because varying outdoor temperatures throughout the year mean that the conditions in most rooms need to be adapted, i.e. the indoor air needs to be cooled or heated, depending on the time of year. Professional control of indoor climates is the solution. The good news is that humidification systems do not have to be planned from the outset; they can also be retrofitted. The main distinction is between adiabatic and isothermal humidification.

Professional humidity control is possible using adiabatic humidification (e.g. with the HygroMatik high-pressure nozzle system HPS). High-precision stainless steel nozzles generate fine aerosols that are absorbed very quickly by the air. The evaporation of this fine mist thus ensures that the indoor air is noticeably cooled. Moreover, cooling the exhaust air in summer can save up to a third of the required cooling capacity. This form of humidification is therefore particularly energy-saving. LPS and HPS adiabatic low- and high-pressure nozzle systems by HygroMatik humidify the air in air conditioning and ventilation systems with fully demineralised water.

 

It thus makes sense to connect a reverse osmosis system for water treatment (e.g. WaterLine ROC) upstream. This not only removes salts and scale from the water, but also filters out viruses and bacteria, with two positive effects: firstly, the indoor air is hygienically clean; secondly, the use of fully demineralised water minimises maintenance requirements and ensures a long service life for the high-quality components. 

 

Isothermal humidification can however also be sustainable, efficient and energy-saving. The products in the HygroMatik FlexLine (e.g. the FLH) are renowned for their particularly long operating times and low maintenance requirements. The components are high-quality, durable and highly efficient. The steam humidifiers feature reusable cylinders, making them particularly environmentally friendly. These are made using robust materials, are easy to open and can be cleaned without chemicals. This saves resources and energy and avoids CO2 emissions. The FlexLine housings are made from corrosion-resistant stainless steel, which increases their durability and ensures optimum occupational safety. With the ECO function and the flexibly adjustable timer, users can also actively save energy.
