CONTROLLING HUMIDITY
HUMIDITY SOLUTIONS
KEEPING RH IN ITS PLACE
Effective humidity control is a necessity for
all work environments and is particularly
important in many industrial environments,
says John Barker of Humidity Solutions
In any indoor environment, controlling
humidity is essential for protecting the
health of occupants and the building fabric.
In an industrial environment, poor humidity
control may also impact on productivity and
profitability, so there are strong commercial
reasons for taking control.
In terms of measuring humidity, we use the
term ‘relative humidity’ – or RH - to describe
the relationship between the temperature
of air and the amount of moisture it can
hold. In most industrial environments the
RH should be maintained between 40% and
60%.
Humidity Solutions is the UK’s leading
independent specialist in humidity control,
designing, installing and maintaining
humidification and dehumidification
systems for a wide variety of industrial and
commercial applications. The company
is a distributor for humidifiers and
dehumidifiers from some of the world’s
leading manufacturers and, since April 2019,
has been the exclusive UK distributor for the
32
PECM Issue 40
West Midland manufactured Vapac range of
electrode boiler steam humidifiers.
The strength of this range is reliability and
return on investment, with user friendly
accessibility and flexibility of installation. In-
room and in-duct options allow the humidifier
to be installed into almost every industrial and
commercial application.
Rob Luddington, Humidity Solutions’ After
Sales Director stated ‘The number of Vapac
units installed across the country is testament
to the quality and to the ease of maintenance
of the humidifier. Vapac is the industry word
for electrode boilers and we have certainly
found them to be reliable and a great unit for
HVAC applications.’
Humidity Solutions provide their own
service solution, or are happy to support
contractors with technical advice,
spares and new units. One of these is
Independent Humidity Services, whose
director Mick Lillywhite looks after and
maintains many Vapac humidifiers on sites
including Cumbria Constabulary and The
Dean Gallery in Edinburgh.
Mick stated ‘reliability is essential for my
customers to ensure that the air that
they are conditioning is kept within the
specified parameters. For me the most
important thing is the ease of maintenance
and the Vapac units certainly tick both of
these boxes.’
Humidity Solutions add the reliability
of supply with a large stock of spares
and units held in our warehouse in
Leatherhead, plus technical support
either for the design of a new system or
assistance when advice may be required
post sales.
