Air humidifier VS Air purifier The air purifier is a filter that eliminates certain pollutants and bad smells. The air humidifier does notfilter the air, it adds water to the ambient air in order to raise the hygrometry rate of a room when it islower than the recommended one. 2.

EvaPack TM adiabatic humidifier The EvaPack TM is one of the most renowned in its product range. Its role is to humidify and cool theair through an adiabatic process that limits energy consumption. Its main advantages : Maximum water capacity: up to 6,000 l\/h VDI 6022, RoHS, ISO 846 certification Made to measure No absorption distance Due to its low energy consumption, it fits perfectly into companies&#8217; decarbonization policies EvaPack TM uses the sensible heat of the air to enable evaporation with less energy consumption whileminimizing pressure variations.The humidification process is simple: Water is converted to steam using the adiabatic process. Thedry air passes through a rigid, humid medium made of corrugated sheets of non-organic fibers. Theair is thus cooled and humidified.Note that if cold water below 20\u00b0C is chosen, the EvaPack TM will ensure that microorganisms do notgrow (hygienic installations).The design of the EvaPack TM series provides easy access to the humidifier cassettes and quick andeasy removal for maintenance purposes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[71],"tags":[114,113],"class_list":["post-4433","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-humidification-en","tag-humidificateur-en","tag-humidite-en","post-no-thumbnail"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.devatec.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4433","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.devatec.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.devatec.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.devatec.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.devatec.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4433"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.devatec.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4433\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.devatec.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4433"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.devatec.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4433"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.devatec.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4433"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
