humidification humidification
Did you know that air that is too dry
• dries out mucous membranes and additionally
causes chapped lips and stinging eyes?
• promotes infections and sicknesses of the respi-
ratory passages?
• leads to a lack of energy, exhaustion and concen-
tration weakness?
• burdens pets and room plants?
• encourages dust development and the electro-
static charge of synthetic textiles, carpets and
synthetic flooring?
• damages wooden fixtures, especially hardwood
floors?
• puts musical instruments out of tune?
The physical comfort of man and animal is depen-
dent on many influences. One of those is correctly
humidified air. During the heating period, the cold
outside area which streams into living spaces
through the windows is warmed. This results in a
plummet in the relative air moisture. An adverse
climate for plants and animals, wooden objects and
furniture dry out and people feel uncomfortable and
are susceptible to colds in higher numbers. As a
rule, room climate is comfortable when the relative
moisture is between 40% and 60%. Air humidifica-
tion is especially useful in the winter.
