0. Introduction & Promising Effects

''Humidity control'' is the essential requirement for static or moisture issues and stable operation in textile industries.
Because moderate humidity provides ideal environment so that static electricity hardly generate and moisuture without wetting.
Ikeuchi's AirAKI Dry Fog Humidification System will provide uniform stable humidity.
Ikeuchi would like to offer the following proposal for your benefits of productivity, quality.
1. Conditions

Approx. Volume [m ]
Measurement [m]
Target Temp. & Humidity
Worst Temp & Humidity
Supply Air [m3/hr]
Worst Outside Air Conditions
Absolude humidity [kg/kg (DA)]
Outside Air Induction [m3/hr] *
Ventilation rate [times/hr] *
* We assumed these numbers.

2. Humidity Calculation
Our humidity calculation resulted 178 nozzles at least would be required to get the target humidity
considering the above air conditions.
