The air we breathe is essential to our health.
We breathe about 20,000 times a day, which corresponds to a daily need for 12,000 liters of air. The quality of that air has a direct impact on our well-being: too humid air can cause health problems (allergies, asthma, etc.) while too dry air not only dries out the mucous membranes and the skin, causes fatigue and discomfort, but also air pollution increases. Doctors and specialists agree that optimal relative humidity ranges from 40 to 60%.
What does the relative humidity mean?
The relative humidity is the ratio in% between the amount of water present at the given moment in the air and the maximum amount of water that the air can contain at that temperature. With a relative humidity of 50%, the air contains only half the amount it can contain at that temperature.
This percentage is measured by a hygrometer.
Why is the sky so dry in winter?
The air is especially dry in winter when the heating is on. Cold air can contain very little water. If it is outside 0 ° C, 1 cubic meter of air can only contain 4g of water. But if it is 20 ° C, the air can hold 20g of water. The flight of the room is not enough.
The advantages of using a humidifier?
A humidifier ensures constant relative humidity (40-60%). At that ideal moisture level we experience optimal comfort and bacteria and viruses are much less rapid.
Are there any technologies to increase the humidity?
Yes, we can choose from 3 technologies:
1. Ultrasonic humidification:
This is the most widely used method. A fast-vibrating metal plate cleaves the water molecules into microscopically small drops. These ultrasonic vibrations create a very good fog. A noiseless fan spreads the fog into the air, where the water immediately evaporates. The wetting is visible.
Advantage: The humidity increases rapidly.
Disadvantage: Calcium attack may occur (in the form of white matter). Some humidifiers therefore have a lime filter on the bottom of the water reservoir.
2. Vaporization:
This is the most natural form of wetting, without ultrasound or resistance. The water in the reservoir rises through sapillary action in the filters that are in the humidifier. A fan blows dry ambient air through the filters. The humidified air (with ideal moisture content) is then spread through the room.
Advantage: Healthy, soundless distribution
Disadvantage: The humidity rises less quickly because this is a natural technology
3. Wetting through hot steam:
This very old method works in the same way as a pan of boiling water. The humidifier has a resistance that boils the water. The steam coming out of the appliance moisturizes the ambient air. This technique guarantees wetting without bacteria and germs due to the high temperature of the water (80 ° C.
Advantage: Very good spread throughout the room, free from bacteria and germs
Disadvantage: Due to the heat, do not use in the presence of children
