SKV - Overview

Overview

In an evaporative humidifier, water is supplied to the top of the evaporative module and flows down the wet media (like a waterfall). Warm dry air passes through the wet media, evaporates water and thus raises the humidity level. The SKV also offers up to 12°C (21.5°F) of cooling as a result of the transfer of energy when the water evaporates.

Operation

This configuration consists of an evaporative module that is installed in an air handling unit or duct.

Water enters the evaporation module from the main water supply and reaches the top of the unit.
The water distribution system disperses water over the evaporative module continuously like a waterfall.
Warm dry air passes through the wet media, evaporates water, and raises the humidity level.
Recirculation pump collects and recirculates the un-evaporated water to the matrix again and the evaporation process continues.

Application

The SKV Evaporative Cooling humidifier is ideal for applications requiring low energy and water consumption such as:

Data Centers
Paint Shops
Amphitheaters
Greenhouses
Commercial Buildings

Media Panels

The SKV Evaporative corrugated media is made of fiberglass material bounded with a special inorganic compound, which allows exceptional moisture absorption, ensuring continuous humidification and evaporative cooling even at a high air velocity. The inorganic compound makes it hygienic, fire resistant and incombustible.

How Silver Ions Work

They inhibit the reproduction of microbe by:

Silver ions break through the cell wall
Silver ions disrupting respiration of the microbe
Silver ions attaching to DNA of the microbe to stop cell replication
