I The importance of humidity control and the purpose of air humidification

The importance of correct humidity control and the main purpose of air humidification is to prevent direct or indirect adverse effects on human body or surrounding environment due to low relative humidity of air. The ideal relative humidity is 40~60% RH. The importance and possible humidification purposes are as follows:

1. Improve life comfort and health: appropriate air relative humidity can increase life comfort and improve health. The low relative humidity of the air will cause skin dryness and itching.

2. Prevent static electricity: generally speaking, static electricity will occur when the relative humidity of the air is lower than 40% RH.

3. Improve and enhance the speed of wound healing: When the relative humidity of the air is too low, the surgical wound is prone to slow and poor wound healing due to the evaporation of skin moisture.

4. Cooperate with the needs of environmental testing or greenhouse: The artificial climate room needs to control the air temperature and relative humidity to facilitate environmental testing under various temperature and humidity conditions.

5. Prevention of fiber drying: when the relative humidity of the air is too low, it will cause fiber drying of fiber products and affect product quality and production efficiency.

6. Reduce costs and increase profits: When the room temperature is slightly high and the air is dry, people will feel uncomfortable. Usually, this environment is a hotbed of multiple bacteria, which will cause staff colds and sore throats, and indirectly affect production capacity; However, if the humidity is adjusted to a moderate level, it will not only reduce the indoor temperature but will not affect the comfort and productivity of the working environment of employees. However, air humidification is a feasible way to measure the benefits of increased productivity and reduced sick leave rate.
