High humidity is a particular threat for facilities that store sensitive items that can be ruined by moisture, like food or powdered products that take on moisture.
During warm months, just about every location east of the Rocky Mountains feels the muggy effects of high dew points. The resulting high relative humidity produces a host of issues for businesses such as printing, machining, archive storage, food packaging, electronic component providers and clean rooms.
As moist air takes over in summer, manufacturers often struggle to maintain consistent room moisture. Even with air conditioning, relative humidity can rise to unacceptable levels for equipment operation and product integrity. The only solution is to add a dedicated dehumidification system to remove unwanted moisture while maintaining a desired room air temperature.
Humidity and moisture control is a concept truly understood by few people. For the most part, human beings are most comfortable between 40% and 60% relative humidity. In winter’s colder temperatures, percent relative humidity can fall well below 40%. Warm summer months can push it far above 60%.
Now's the time to take action concerning your seasonal humidity control issues that seem to come up every year during the warm, humid summer months. You can recognize that time of year when the normal use of room air conditioning doesn’t control the excess humidity. Moisture problems can cause production down time, product degradation, wet walls and ceilings, and many of the other common problems.
