Description of the problem
The correct humidity level in a cleanroom production environment is essential to maintain production standards, research and minimize waste.
Even small changes in humidity levels can cause accelerated drying of surfaces, substances and materials, as well as lead to the accumulation of static charges, which can cause equipment malfunction or failure.
Accurate humidity control often cannot be achieved with the standard humidification equipment we use in the office or at home, in which case specialized humidification systems are used.
Laboratory humidifiers
The moisture index refers to the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere.
Humidifiers are tools that increase moisture levels.
There are many types of humidifiers depending on the needs and requirements.
A laboratory humidifier is an essential device used in various laboratories to maintain the desired humidity level.
In such rooms, it is very important to be able to accurately adjust the humidity, as well as the uninterrupted operation of the device, since any deviations or failures can lead to distortion in its operation, which is unacceptable.
Below are some of the important benefits of a laboratory humidifier.
Improves atmospheric conditions
Laboratory humidifiers increase the humidity level in the laboratory, which is necessary for a series of tests or tasks. Some tests require controlled atmospheric conditions and required humidity levels. By improving air quality, these humidifiers aid in carrying out experiments and tests in the desired atmospheric conditions.
Reduces static electricity
During the winter season, when the air is dry, there is a high chance of experiencing static electricity from touching certain objects.
When metal furniture and doorknobs are charged with static electricity, it can be very annoying. In addition, static charges can damage electrical laboratory instruments.
The use of laboratory humidifiers avoids all of these problems, and also provides controlled and favorable air humidity in medical and clinical laboratories.
Reduces the likelihood of illness
People tend to get sick and become more susceptible to a range of problems, such as colds and flu, when humidity levels drop significantly. In such a situation, it becomes necessary to raise the humidity level to a favorable level in order to avoid susceptibility to infection.
Often wooden furniture and wooden appliances deteriorate due to low humidity levels. By using laboratory humidifiers, the problem can be drastically reduced.
Thus, laboratory humidifiers prevent wear and tear on wooden appliances and furniture, as well as protect people from disease.
Increases work efficiency
Often, doctors and other laboratory workers work long hours, which can lead to fatigue.
This can affect working efficiency, especially if the humidity level drops to a significant level.
By increasing the level of humidity, laboratory humidifiers help reduce the amount of fatigue in the lab.
Solution options
In small spaces, it can be most optimally used ultrasonic humidifiers, they have a number of advantages:
- Ease of operation and maintenance;
- Reliability of construction and simplicity of technology;
- High quality fine mist;
- Eliminate the possibility of oil getting into the sprayed water.
High pressure fog generators (humidifiers)
The most advanced technology in agriculture. Its principle is based on spraying water through nozzles and their instant evaporation. Their advantages:
- Low unit costs of electrical energy;
- Uniform humidification of the entire room;
- Possibility of installing a system of pipelines and nozzles according to your wishes;
- The piping and nozzle system can be easily disassembled without the use of special tools;
- The generated fog cools the room.
High pressure humidifiers. The system of pipelines and nozzles is assembled and mounted under the ceiling, the pipelines are connected with collet clamps, without the use of special tools. This makes it possible to assemble the humidification system according to the individual dimensions of the customer.
The system can be controlled remotely using an external control module with a remote humidity sensor. Simple assembly instructions allow you to assemble your humidification unit yourself. The pump is connected to a 220 V network, and water is supplied to it.
When using ultrasonic duct humidifiers, fog is fed into the room through the duct. It is most efficient to install a steam duct directly below the ventilation, as shown in the figure. This contributes to the most effective humidification of the entire volume of the room.
In the high pressure pump, it is necessary to periodically check the oil level and, if necessary, top up to the required level.
You can use regular machine oil. Do not operate the pump without oil.
Over time, the nozzles will become clogged with salt deposits, so they need to be soaked in a special solution.
Options
It is possible to upgrade the already installed high pressure humidification system in the future by connecting additional pipe sections with nozzles or installing a more powerful pump.
This can be done in case of expansion of production, when the current capacity of the system is not enough to maintain the set humidity level.
In a room with mushrooms, sanitary and hygienic conditions must be maintained, therefore, together with a humidification system, it is possible to install air ozonizers.
Final Words
With the benefits of a laboratory humidifier, more and more laboratories are using a humidifier to maintain proper humidity, improve work efficiency, and achieve accurate test results.

Comfortable humidity in any room
Traditional (classic) humidifiers are one of the most common types of such devices. The simplicity of the design and the low level of energy consumption make these humidifiers available to a wide range of buyers, while effectively coping with functions such as humidification and air purification.
Traditional humidifiers have another name - cold-type humidifiers. They got their second name according to the principle of operation, which is based on the natural process of evaporation. Water in a traditional humidifier is poured into a special tank, from which it then enters the sump, onto the evaporating elements (humidifying cartridges). A fan built into the case draws in air from the room and drives it through the cartridges. The air gets back into the room already humidified and cleaned of dust. Some modern humidifier models are additionally equipped with antibacterial filters that kill pathogens and provide deep air purification. In premium models, you can even find options such as air ionization or vapor sterilization.
The only significant drawback of traditional humidifiers can be considered their maximum performance - such an air conditioner is able to humidify the air in a room up to 60%. This is sufficient in most cases of household use of the device (since a humidity level of 45-55% is considered comfortable for a person). An exception may be the use of a humidifier only to create a special microclimate with a high level of humidity (in winter gardens, closed greenhouses, laboratories, etc.)
The main advantages of modern classic air humidifiers:
- compact, attractive design;
- high performance with low power consumption;
- low noise level;
- even distribution of humidified air throughout the room;
- simplicity and ease of management
In our online store there are traditional humidifiers the best modern manufacturers of climatic equipment, incl. such recognized market leaders as Atmos, Air-O-Swiss, Aircomfort and others. Prices vary depending on the power of the model, the area of humidification and the number of options available. On sale are compact tabletop models for humidifying small rooms up to 20 m2 and powerful units with tanks up to 30 liters, capable of effectively humidifying residential or office premises up to 100 m2.
Finally, I bought a moisturizer (Real), which really moisturizes! Evaporates 15 liters in less than a day. I quickly raised the humidity level in a 21 sq m room from 18 to 45 percent. It became pleasant to be in the room, there was a feeling of freshness. Before that, there was a Koenig wash, then an ultrasonic one. Only Real coped with the task. I sold an expensive Koenig sink and ordered another Real (in the second room).

I bought a rather expensive air purifier, maybe that's why the communication was the way it was. A call in a couple of minutes, they worked out my comment on the order, waited until I fill up the order on their website. Delivered the next day. The courier, maybe, wanted to steer right after delivery, but when he saw my interest in continuing communication, he unpacked everything at once, showed it, inserted an additional filter, connected it. All at the highest level.

Good store. Everything for people. We ordered a call from the manager, who explained everything correctly and picked up the goods that we need. He told why it is not necessary to take the goods more expensive. Delivery to Ulyanovsk, the manager said that you can pay in cash upon receipt, which is a big plus. After 3 days, the goods arrived at our place. The cleaner turned out to be very good. Literally 2 hours later, it became easier to breathe in the apartment.

I bought a humidifier from this store. In winter, the air in the apartment is very dry, and this is harmful not only for the skin, but also for health in general. A consultant helped me decide on the choice of a humidifier, he quickly picked up the model I needed. Delivery to St. Petersburg was made the next day !!, I paid in cash upon receipt of the goods. Which I think is a big plus, since I trust such payments more.

We decided to buy an air purifier, at the insistence of the doctor. I suffer from asthma attacks and since we have not encountered this type of technique, it was difficult to make a choice. We called and consulted with a specialist by phone. Chose more expensive in the end. I doubted about the delivery, since it is quite problematic to transport the cleaner to the Khabarovsk Territory from Moscow, given the rather heavy weight. But the delivery service delivered our equipment in integrity and safety right to the door, and for free) We thought that they would have to fiddle with the installation themselves, but they turn out to do everything themselves. Very comfortably.

I decided to find the best cleaner, after spending a day I realized what to take in this store. I ordered a model with a charcoal filter, took an additional filter, made a discount, nice.) I paid with a card on the site and by the evening it was already brought home, and free of charge, although at such a high price it is not surprising. I was glad that the courier had some kind of expensive sensor that determines how dirty the air is. Showing me how this cleaner works, he attached this sensor to it and the sensor showed a zero, and then I decided that I needed to check Bork, which my neighbor had recently bought, the courier agreed to conduct an experiment. As a result, the neighbor was upset, since his zero did not show even close.))) The guys worked well, I am satisfied with the purchase and service, I recommend.
High accuracy of maintaining air humidity, in conditions of maximum hygiene - throughout the entire humidification process.
High precision control of air humidity and hygiene.
Rooms that have been assigned a cleanliness class require an impeccable microclimate, with precise control of temperature and humidity conditions. It is possible to achieve high levels of hygiene with the use of steam humidifiers, as well as with adiabatic air humidifiers. For the first (isothermal systems), the quality of water will play a less significant role for the hygiene of the process, it is more likely to ensure the reliability of the steam cylinder and the resource of the heating elements. For adiabatic systems, water quality is the main element on which maximum hygiene will depend.
Humidification systems and air humidity standards for clean rooms.
30-50% RH. Pharmaceuticals - production of drugs, drugs.
40-50% RH. Electronics - production or server rooms (data centers).
40-60% RH. Medicine - diagnostic centers, hospitals.
40-90 RH%. Laboratories - research, pilot production.
Today, a clean room can be seen not only in a medical institution or laboratory. Premises, which are assigned standards and cleanliness classes, are in almost every office in the form of a server room or in the production of electronic components, in industry or agriculture. Hygiene classes and cleanliness standards may differ with respect to airborne particulate matter, aerosols or bacteria. High hygiene requirements are also applied to humidification systems, where the first, priority requirement will be the requirement for the quality of the water with which the humidification unit will work.
Sterile humidification systems: operate in high hygiene mode, use purified water and control humidity with an accuracy of 1% RH.
The second requirement would be; the process of water vapor preparation itself and the method of their delivery into the air of the clean room. The path from preparing water vapor to saturating the air mass with it should be the shortest and without stagnant zones. Water must not stagnate in the duct or inside the humidification unit, as this can cause the growth of mold and mildew spores. The water must be purified or completely demineralized.
