Air humidification
How is air humidification carried out?
Industrial air humidification can be divided into two main types: isothermal and adiabatic humidification.
Isothermal humidification involves steam humidifiers that operate using electrodes or heaters to generate steam without significant changes in air temperature. This method provides precise humidity control and is often applied in the pharmaceutical and food industries, where meeting the hygiene standards is critical.
Adiabatic humidification, on the other hand, uses natural water evaporation to increase humidity levels while simultaneously cooling the air. This method includes high-pressure atomizers and evaporative humidifiers, which are energy-efficient and commonly used in large production halls and warehouses.
Both technologies play a key role in maintaining stable conditions in industrial applications, preventing static electricity buildup, material deterioration, and production issues.
Why is humidification necessary in industry?
Maintaining appropriate air humidity is crucial for human health, material preservation, and the smooth operation of industrial processes. Low humidity below 40% RH can cause drying of the skin and mucous membranes, increasing the risk of infections.
Materials such as paper, textiles, and wood are hygroscopic and require stable humidity to maintain their shape and quality. Food stored in cold storage must be protected from drying out to remain fresh and appealing. Proper humidity level is essential in production, as it enables the proper ripening of cheese and fermentation of dough. Additionally, humidity above 50% RH prevents static discharge, which is especially important in rooms with electronic equipment. Humidity control is key to the stability and efficiency of numerous processes and work environments.

Industrial Humidification Solutions with Benefits
Maintaining the optimal level of air humidity in industrial environments is essential for product quality, equipment protection, and the efficiency of production processes, especially during the winter when outdoor air is extremely dry. Without a proper humidification system, materials can lose their properties, become brittle, dried out, or prone to electrostatic discharge, directly affecting production continuity.
The integration of humidifiers into HVAC systems ensures stable working conditions, prevents the drying of ingredients and materials, reduces contamination risks, and improves production process accuracy. Furthermore, proper humidity control contributes to even coating, protects electronic components from static electricity, and enhances the overall efficiency of production lines, ensuring long-term system stability.
Choosing the right humidification system directly impacts working conditions, final product quality, and equipment’s lifetime. By adapting technology to the specific requirements of production, optimal workflows are ensured, maintenance costs are reduced, and the energy efficiency of industrial systems is increased. Through careful analysis of industrial space needs and characteristics, we provide solutions that enable precise humidity control, guaranteeing stability, reliability, and maximum productivity.
Steam Humidifiers in HVAC Systems
Isothermal humidification, or steam humidification, offers high precision and hygienic safety in controlling humidity in industrial spaces, providing stable and reliable working conditions. This technology works by adding water vapor to the air without significant temperature changes, making it ideal for use in pharmaceutical, food, and textile industries.
Steam humidifiers use two technologies for steam generation: electrode devices and heating devices. Electrode humidifiers heat water via electric conductors (electrodes), allowing precise humidity control, but their efficiency depends on the mineral content in the water. Heater humidifiers use immersed heaters, providing stable steam production regardless of water quality, which makes them ideal for applications demanding high precision, such as the pharmaceutical industry.
The main advantages of isothermal steam humidification are hygienic purity since bacteria are eliminated during boiling. precise humidity control necessary for industrial processes, and temperature stability that ensures smooth operation of production systems.
These systems are often integrated into HVAC installations, ensuring uniform steam distribution in air handling units or ventilation ducts. There are also standalone units designed for direct humidification within rooms. The choice between electrode and heater humidifiers depends on specific industry needs, water quality, and maintenance requirements. Regardless of the technology, steam humidification is a reliable solution for humidity regulation in demanding industrial environments.
We are happy to offer appropriate humidification system solutions tailored to meet the required air humidification conditions based on user needs.
Use of Humidifiers in Public Spaces
Indoor air quality plays a crucial role in creating a healthy and comfortable environment, directly impacting people’s health, comfort, and material durability. Maintaining proper humidity levels improves comfort, reduces the risk of respiratory issues, and helps prevent allergies and infections. Dry air can cause mucous membrane dryness, increasing susceptibility to bacteria and viruses while at the same time causing discomfort, skin, and eye irritation.
Lack of humidity threatens not only human health but also materials within the space. Paper, wood, textiles, and other hygroscopic materials can become brittle, lose shape, or get damaged after prolonged exposure to dry air. Additionally, optimal temperature and humidity control can have a positive impact on the building’s energy efficiency, reducing energy consumption and improving HVAC system performance.
Advanced and reliable humidification solutions are available, tailored for professional use in sectors such as offices, hotels, educational institutions, museums and art galleries, healthcare facilities, and clinics.
Proper humidification creates a healthier, more comfortable, and productive environment adapted to the specific needs of spaces and users.
Water Quality for Steam Humidifiers
Water quality is critical for the operation of steam humidifiers. Minerals can cause scaling, reducing efficiency and requiring more frequent maintenance. Water softening reduces mineral content, while desalination completely removes salts. Electrode humidifiers require water with specific conductivity, while heater models work best with desalinated water, eliminating scaling and easing maintenance.
Proper water treatment ensures stable steam production, reduces maintenance costs, and improves the energy efficiency of humidifiers. Therefore, water treatment is a necessary part of industrial humidity control systems, which we can provide and integrate into the systems we design.
