VapaVoid combats dry air effect
Humidification is not always factored in at the design stage of an air conditioning system and often extracts more moisture than is necessary which can have a detrimental effect on a building’s occupants. Vapac Humidity Control has tackled the problem by developing an innovative solution to combat the dry air effect caused by comfort air conditioning.
“Delivering a comfortable environment that includes humidification is
important for the health of a building’s occupants. A balance is required
to counteract the drying effects caused by comfort air conditioning systems” explains
Dave Mortimer, National Sales Manager for Vapac Humidity Control.
As a result, Vapac has developed VapaVoid, a fully featured humidity inclusion system that takes advantage of the space available in ceiling voids and offers an alternative to in room humidifiers.
Manufactured from stainless steel, with a stainless steel drip tray, it is robustly designed to fit in ceiling voids making it ideal for applications where aesthetic looks are important, as the ceiling void is a discrete and unobtrusive location.
Simplicity was a key criterion in the design which is based around a fan coil
style unit, appealing to contractors and offers a flexible and practical approach
to humidity inclusion. Based on a 1200x600mm ceiling grid, VapaVoid’s
compact design and slim profile ensures that it fits most ceiling spaces.
Operational Benefits
VapaVoid is quiet in operation and unlike in-room humidifiers, the steam cannot be seen as it enters the room. Multiple units can also be connected.
In-room humidifiers consist of the main steam generating boiler with a room distribution unit (RDU) mounted on the top. VapaVoid offers considerable savings for over in-room humidifiers.
Clean Steam
With health concerns high on most installations agenda, water quality is assured. VapaVoid uses a clean, hygienic process for clean steam and better air quality by delivering 2-5Kg/hr of clean steam depending on requirements.
Maintenance
VapaVoid has multiple safety features as standard. All components are readily accessible for service and maintenance with components accessible from underneath.
