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.

Compressed air humidifiers are the ideal humidification solution whenever a compressed air supply is available, as is the case in many industrial applications, even if humidification systems are often fitted with a dedicated air compressor. The humidifier essentially consists of a cabinet fitted with electronic controller that, using two independent connection pipe networks, supplies the spray nozzles with compressed air and water at the ideal pressure for instant operating conditions.
The units can be installed inside an AHU or directly in the room where humidity needs to be controlled. The greatest advantage of these atomisers is the minute dimensions of the droplets produced and their thorough mixing in the compressed air that, due to its speed, distributes the aerosol in the room and consequently allows quick absorption. These units can therefore be readily used for direct cooling in rooms, and are ideal for the textile industry, wood and paper processing, and storerooms, where there is almost always a supply of compressed air.
mc multizone features an electronic controller that manages the supply of water and compressed air to the nozzles.
Water atomisation is managed by an external control signal or, in the case of stand-alone control, so as to maintain the humidity/temperature set point. The unit also manages a series of automatic cycles, such as nozzle cleaning and washing.
The system has the ability to control humidity independently in multiple zones (rooms, AHUs, cold rooms) using a main/secondary layout. The layout has one master and multiple clients (up to 5) connected in a pLAN. The master is fitted with a display for accessing the readings, viewing the status and messages on the master and clients. The clients have their own internal controller and can be set to continue operating even if connection to the master is interrupted.
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.

humiDisk is a small yet sturdy humidifier that uses a spinning disk to atomise water and transform it into millions of very small droplets that, blown by a built-in fan, are introduced into the environment, where they evaporate, humidifying and cooling the air.
Very low power consumption
humiDisk is a simple, economic and easy to maintain humidification system, with an energy consumption of just 220 W for 6.5 kg/h of capacity (31 W for the 1.0 kg/h model).
Guaranteed hygiene
The water tank inside the humiDisk contains just 0.055 litres of water, which is atomised, at maximum capacity, in just 30s for the 6.5 kg/h model and 3 minutes for the 1 kg/h model. The water in the tank is therefore changed very rapidly, meaning the humidifier substantially works with non-stagnant running water, so as to guarantee the best hygiene conditions.
Adjustable capacity (humiDisk65 only)
Operation of humiDisk65 controlled by an electronic board fitted with a trimmer for setting humidifier capacity, from 1.1 to 6.5 kg/h, making it suitable for all applications.
Automatic washing cycles (humiDisk65 only)
The board, as well as managing normal unit operation, also performs a tank washing cycle when starting the unit, and an emptying cycle when humidification is no longer required. This avoids having stagnant water inside the unit.
Important: to ensure a higher level of hygiene, when using the CAREL electrical control panels, the humidifier also washes the water tank at the start of each humidification cycle.
Water used
humiDisk can operate on both mains water or treated water. The quantity and quality of the minerals dissolved in the water affect the frequency of the routine maintenance operations and the amount of dust generated. For best operation, use demineralised water (do not use softened water, as this does not reduce the content of minerals dissolved in the water). In any case, observe the requirements of UNI8884 standard "Characteristics and treatment of the water in cooling and humidification circuits", according to which the main characteristics of the water are conductivity < 100 μS/cm and total hardness <5 °fH (50 ppm CaCO3). Similar requirements are also specified in standards VDI6022, VDI3803.

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.
