Harmful Effects Of Humidity
Industry is becoming increasingly aware of how technology can help to improve profitability and reduce overheads. Unacceptable expenses incurred by businesses, whether in manufacturing, distribution or services include building maintenance and the spoilage of components and finished stock.
Excessive humidity is frequently costly and inconvenient. Historically, management has lived with the problem, believing it to be a "natural phenomenon" without remedy, the harmful effects being tolerated rather than prevented.
Where Does Excess Moisture Come From?
Moisture is always present in the air, not only when it rains. The amount which the air supports is determined by air temperature. The warmer the air the more water it can support in a vaporous state. However, as the air cools its ability to hold water decreases which raises the relative humidity. At this point the air begins to unload the excess moisture onto cold surfaces resulting in the condensation and dampness we are all familiar with.
