Relative humidity is one of the fundamental ambient parameters used to define the normal operating conditions of a clean room, and often the limits in tolerance are very strict – in some applications, even just 1%.

Why is such precise humidity control required?

Very simply, because relative humidity influences the main factors that affect the performance of the rooms:

- risk of electrostatic discharges;

- proliferation of biological contaminants;

- speed of chemical reactions;

- increase in capillary forces;

- personal comfort.

CAREL humidification systems are successfully used in applications for: semiconductors and microelectronics, pharmaceuticals and biotechnologies, cosmetics, medicine, research laboratories, aerospace technology, and micro/nano-technologies.

CAREL heaterSteam is particularly suited to clean room aplications due to its precise control and ability to use demineralised water.
