A humidifier using porous silicon carbide for HVAC systems.

Author(s) : TAKAHASHI H., ITO T., TAKAHASHI A.

Summary

A high-performance humidifier using porous silicon carbide as the wetted medium, which also functions as a heater was developed. The authors fabricated a prototype porous silicon carbide humidifier (PSH), as well as a control system equipped with a humidity transmitter, PID digital contoller, and AC thyristor. The humidifier was installed in an air duct of 200 x 150 mm in size for testing. The results obtained demonstrated that it was able to control the desired relative humidity within more or less 1.1% tolerance at a mean air speed of approximately 2 m/s, irrespective of a rate of change in the inlet air temperature of 2.5 deg C/5 minutes.
