Dehumidifiers
Dehumidification is vital for many industrial processes, and desiccant is considered the most effective method. Most dehumidifiers look the same, but what sets them apart is the desiccant wheel – the heart of the system. This critical dehumidifier component efficiently removes moisture from the air.
Ultrasonic humidifiers

The new humiSonic range comprises two versions, meeting the needs of all applications: humiSonic compact, small enough to be installed on a fan coil, and humiSonic direct, for room distribution.
Ultrasonic humidifiers feature a small water storage tank and piezoelectric transducers installed at the bottom of the tank. The surface of the transducer vibrates at very high speed (1.65 million times a second), a speed that does not allow the water to move due to its inertial mass. During the negative amplitude of the transducer cycle, a sudden void is created that brings about the production of microscopic bubbles, which are pushed to the surface of the water during the positive amplitude of the cycle. This effect is called cavitation.
During this process, the resulting intersecting sound waves created directly underneath the surface of the water cause very small droplets of water to separate, forming a fine mist of vapour that is immediately absorbed by the flow of air.
This ultrasound technology applied to CAREL air humidification solutions is efficient, reliable and versatile:
- efficient, as ultrasonic humidifiers guarantee energy savings of 90% when compared to ordinary steam generators;
- reliable, as humiSonic is guaranteed for 10,000 operating hours when running on demineralised water;
- versatile, thanks to the size of the droplets produced (average diameter of 5 µm).This fundamental characteristic guarantees very fast absorption of the atomised water in the room or duct, avoiding possible condensation.

Immersed electrode humidifiers

The operation of immersed electrode humidifiers is based on a very simple physical principle. As common drinking water contains a certain quantity of dissolved mineral salts, and is consequently slightly conductive, applying a voltage to metal electrodes immersed in the water creates an electric current that heats the water (Joule effect) until boiling, thus producing steam.
The quantity of steam produced is proportional to the electric current, which is in turn proportional to the water level.
This electric current is measured by a current transformer: by varying the level of water using a fill solenoid valve and due to the evaporation process, the current, and consequently steam production, can be modulated. Due to evaporation, the level of water decreases and must therefore be topped up. As the steam produced does not carry mineral salts, the salt concentration in the water and therefore the conductivity increases, and has to be periodically diluted by draining part of it using the drain pump and replacing it with new water.
In addition, scale forms over time and covers part of the cylinder, which must be replaced or cleaned. The principle is simple, however the development of an immersed electrode humidifier that ensures safe operation and reliability over time requires careful analysis and extended testing.
Compared to electric heater or gas-fired humidifiers, immersed electrode humidifiers:
are less expensive to purchase;
operate with drinking water (not completely demineralised or softened);
require periodical replacement (or cleaning) of the cylinder;
feature modulation suitable for comfort or industrial applications, without extreme requirements.
CAREL has been manufacturing immersed electrode humidifiers since the 1970s and can draw benefit from its know-how in the field of electronic controllers: precision control, reliable electronics and sophisticated and complete control software.
The CAREL solutions for immersed electrode humidifiers are humiSteam and compactSteam.

CAREL’s extensive experience in the humidification business has led to the development of gaSteam, the range of gas-fired humidifiers, available in models from 45 to 450 kg/h with a temperature range of -40°C to 45°C. gaSteam runs on natural gas or LPG, and is fitted with a sophisticated built-in electronic controller that can also manage other types of gas by simply setting a number of burner calibration parameters.
The exclusive design of the heat exchanger ensures very high efficiency (94-96%) and easy maintenance. Made from stainless steel, it guarantees long life even in heavy-duty operation.
The price gap between gas and electricity makes gaSteam the ideal choice for more high load applications, where steam is required many hours a day, allowing savings in the thousands of euro per year. Continuous modulation of steam flow-rate means the appliance is also suitable for precision applications. gaSteam can operate on drinkable mains water or demineralised water (R.O.). Easy to install, it features a room-sealed combustion chamber with premix burner, and gas valve with double mechanical closing; furthermore, it is fitted with multiple safety devices and comes with ETL and CE certification (issued by TÜV-DVGW).
Atomisers – evaporative cooling
This product is available in CAREL CPQ, the sizing and selection tool that lets you independently find the right CAREL solutions for you, download the related documentation, receive support, and generate quotes and orders.
"Evaporative Cooling" is the process in which water cools the air through evaporation. For this to happen spontaneously, without the contribution of external energy, the water must be atomised in the air as very fine water droplets which, having a lower surface tension than the surrounding air, evaporate into the air.
Why does the air cool down?
No contribution of external energy is necessary, however, owing to its nature, the water evaporation process requires a certain amount of energy. This energy is removed from the air itself which, in order to absorb the water must release sensible heat, thus lowering its own temperature.
Every kilogram of water that evaporates absorbs 0.69 kW of heat from the air. This is how the dual humidification and cooling effect of the air is obtained through the Evaporative Cooling process, which in many air handling applications represent two desired effects.
Energy Saving
The rapid development of evaporative cooling in HVAC applications is surely due to its very low energy impact. If we compare the cost for energy regarding Evaporative Cooling with that of other types of air transformations (e.g. humidification with steam emission or air cooling via chiller), it can be seen that the energy saving is considerable. The only energy required is for water pressurisation, which is sent to the atomiser nozzles by a pump. Consumption is about 4 to 8 W for every l/h of atomised water. Optimist atomisers CAREL supplies a complete range of products that make use of the principles of evaporative cooling and all its advantages. The standard composition of these products is:
- cabinet, containing the pump for pressurising the water, an inverter and an electronic controller for modulating the production of atomised water instant by instant;
- atomiser nozzles, able to atomise the water into very fine water droplets (in the order of a few hundredths of a millimetre), extending the heat exchange surfaces.
- distribution system, composed of stainless steel manifolds, atomiser nozzles and drain valves, in order to guarantee emptying.

Pressurised water humidifiers
This product is available in CAREL CPQ, the sizing and selection tool that lets you independently find the right CAREL solutions for you, download the related documentation, receive support, and generate quotes and orders.
Pressurised water humidifiers exploit the potential energy transferred to the water by a special volumetric pump in the form of high pressure (generally 70 bars), so as to achieve very fine atomisation through special nozzles.
The most common application of these humidifiers is in AHUs, where the pressurised water distribution system is installed. In industrial environments for processing wood or paper, or in the textiles industry, systems are often used to distribute atomised water directly into the rooms. As well as humidity control, pressurised water atomisers are the best solution for fully exploiting the potential offeredby evaporative cooling, both direct and indirect, inside AHUs or in rooms, as in the case of industrial facilities and large public spaces, such as metropolitan railway stations and airports.
One crucial aspect is the hygiene that pressurised water humidifiers must guarantee in the application where they are used. Management of washing cycles, the materials used and the configuration of the atomised water distribution system are the main features that guarantee CAREL humidifiers comply with the strictest hygiene regulations in force (VDI6022). humiFog multizone represents the new generation in high pressure atomised water humidifiers.
A volumetric pump sends water at high pressure to a distribution system made up of nozzles that atomise the water into very fine droplets, which can be absorbed by the air in a very short space.
Energy saving
The only energy humiFog consumes is used to power the water pump, just 4 watts for every l/h of capacity. Cooling in summer is provided by lowering air enthalpy, while humidification in winter has the advantage of being able to use thermal energy at low temperature. Power consumption is thus minimised. In addition, an inverter is used to modulate pump speed, meaning both more precise control and even lower power consumption.
