Air humidification

In many industrial processes, fine water mist is used to increase humidity in premises and other spaces. Dry air can cause problems in production or storage areas and it is important to keep relative humidity at a consistent and desired level.

The right level of humidity also reduces static electricity and dust formation, which has a positive effect on employee health.

 

Factors to consider for optimised air humidification

Small water droplets generated by misting nozzles evaporate quickly and increase the amount of moisture in the air. As water mist evaporates, it can cause air temperature to drop, depending on the amount of water sprayed and overall change in humidity.

  • Existing and desired relative humidity
  • Size and shape of area to be humidified
  • Ventilation flow and air flow in the premises, or air flow and air speed in ducts
  • Temperature and environment
  • Water quality, filtration
  • Nozzle type and spray pattern - possible mounting points, distance between nozzles, availability of compressed air.
  • Recommended nozzle material - stainless steel is used as standard to resist corrosion in humid environments.
  • Available/desired flow rate
  • Available liquid pressure drop (∆P) across the nozzle = supply pressure at nozzle inlet - process pressure outside nozzle
