Tailored solution tackles humidity and temperature control Humidity Solutions has delivered a turnkey humidity control / adiabatic cooling solution to a medical injection moulding company in the East of England, enabling close control of humidity while also providing low energy adiabatic cooling. One of the processes at the facility involves injection-moulding plastic drink bottles, which are distributed all over the world. Consistent humidity and temperature are essential in maximising the performance of this process and facilitating the pad printing process onto the bottles. At the same time, the company was keen to achieve these environmental conditions with minimum energy consumption, in line with its rigorous sustainability policy. Humidity Solutions supplied an Airtec high pressure water atomising system, configured in eight zones, to deliver moisture to the103,000m3 space. The moisture is delivered through a range of fan-assisted nozzle heads, each configured to suit the area being served and to ensure effective humidification without risk of wetting or condensation on machines and products. In parallel, the system provides an adiabatic cooling effect which removes the excess heat generating by the injection moulding machines without the need for additional mechanical cooling. The fact that the humidity is controlled very precisely ensures that there is no condensation on the cooled moulds. Control tolerances are very tight, at 50% RH +/-10%. In fact, since the system was installed it has consistently delivered humidity control to +/- 5% of the 50% RH target. Each of the eight zones is fitted with dedicated sensors that communicate with a central control panel, enabling each zone to be controlled individually and aligned to the requirements of each space. The sensors also log the temperature and humidity to provide documented recordings of environmental conditions. Humidity Solutions provided the complete solution; from design through to supplying, installing and commissioning the most appropriate humidifiers and water treatment plant and
