Isothermal & Adiabatic Humidification Systems

Humidifiers are no longer limited to use in hospitals, museums, laboratories, and the like. In addition to humidification for health, manufacturing and storage, employee comfort in the workplace has become increasingly important.

There are two different procedures that can be applied to increase the degree of moisture in the air. In the isothermal humidification process, the water vapor is dispersed in the environment after having been created by boiling water. This procedure requires the contribution of an external source of energy to change the state of the water. Because the temperature of the vapor is higher than that of the air, the temperature of the air increases.

The adiabatic process does not involve the contribution of thermal energy from an external source. The water is finely atomized and introduced into the environment. The heat required to transform the water from liquid to vapor is supplied by the air, which is consequently cooled.
