Six steps to follow that ensure proper humidification system design and control.

Author(s) : MORTON C. B.

Summary

The paper will discuss in detail six steps that, when followed, will result in a properly designed humidification system. These steps are as follows. 1. Review building design to ensure the space being humidified is capable of holding the desired relative humidity without damage. 2. Review the heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning systems design. 3. Identify available energy sources and analyze options so the best system is selected. 4. Identify available water sources. 5. Determine preferred humidifier location. 6. Determine the relative humidity level and control accuracy required, as this can vary widely from a simple comfort humidification job to a complex process humidification project requiring precise humidity control. Analyzing all these factors before selecting the humidification system will ensure that all design needs are met and costly problems are avoided.
