Sustainable energy use is becoming increasingly important for companies. It not only reduces energy costs, but also helps organizations to comply with legislation and build a sustainable image. Energy saving also plays a role in air humidification. To save costs, companies sometimes choose to switch off humidification. Yet an optimal indoor climate is very important for the health of employees, product quality and efficient production. Cumulus Nederland B.V. offers various energy-efficient humidification solutions.
More than 3 decades
"Cumulus Nederland B.V. has been an expert in the field of air humidification and water treatment for more than 33 years," says CEO Wil Sampers. says CEO Wil Sampers "Among other things, we supply high and low pressure, steam, compressed air and ultrasonic humidification. At the VSK+E we want to show how energy savings go hand in hand with a healthy indoor climate."
The importance of an optimal indoor climate
Many companies depend on constant and optimal air humidity. Low humidity directly affects product quality, the health of employees and the continuity of production processes. "A humidity between 40 and 60% reduces the spread of viruses and bacteria," explains Wil Sampers. "In addition, employees are less likely to suffer from complaints such as dry eyes, sore throats and concentration problems. This not only creates a healthier indoor climate, but also reduces absenteeism."
Sustainable humidification with high pressure
For a long time, steam humidification was the standard because of hygiene. Due to rising energy prices, however, this technique involves high operational costs. A sustainable alternative is high-pressure humidification, an adiabatic humidification technique in which water is atomized and evaporated by heat from the room. This eliminates the need to bring the water to boiling point and, in addition to the electricity for the pump, does not require additional high-grade energy, but uses relatively low-grade heat from the air. Especially in rooms where heat is already present or cooling is required, this is an efficient and cost-saving solution. When combined with heat recovery or a heat pump, the energy consumption of these systems becomes even lower. Calculations show that high-pressure humidification often emerges as the most sustainable choice.
Legionella-safe humidification
But is high-pressure humidification safe? Absolutely. To reduce the risk of legionella during high-pressure humidification, various gatekeepers are used. For example, a reverse osmosis can filter bacteria from the water and produce clean and pure process water. In addition, a UV filter can be used to provide additional disinfection. Cumulus Nederland B.V.'s high-pressure installations are flushed daily to prevent stagnant water and bacterial growth.
