Seminar 30-1 -- Humidification: Why Is It Necessary and How to Do It Safely

This product is a PDF that contains links to files that consist of PowerPoint slides synchronized with the audio-recording of the speaker (recorded presentation), PDF files of the slides, and audio only (mp3) as noted.

Air contains humidity because this is the way our world is! Humidity is nothing else than water vapour, mainly coming from the natural evaporation of sea water, lakes and rivers; part of it is also generated by mankinds processes. Its fundamental for all living creatures, human beings included, both for surviving and, for humans and animals, for well-being. Its also necessary for a number of industrial processes, which usually require the proper control of the humidity level. Humidification systems add vapour to the air in a controlled way so as to reach and maintain the desired humidity level. They can add vapour into ventilation systems or directly into the ambient and in both cases this can be done in hygienically safe ways provided the relevant guide-lines and best practices are followed. The seminar presents the requirements of German norm VDI 6022 for humidification systems.
