DUBAI, UAE, 30 September 2022: Condair has launched the JetSpray Compact, which the company described as a new low-capacity direct room spray humidifier, which uses compressed air to create very fine aerosols from two nozzles, which can deliver up to 30 kilograms of humidity every hour to a room’s atmosphere.

Making the announcement through a Press release, Condair said the wall-mounted system is ideal for use in industries such as printing, textile and food production, where a local process or small room might need accurate and reliable low-energy humidification. To provide 30 kilograms of humidification, an electric steam humidifier would consume around 22kW, whereas the JetSpray Compact would only need around 2.5kW, Condair claimed, adding that this equates to approximately 90% less electrical consumption.

According to Condair, spray humidifiers also offer the additional benefit of evaporative cooling. When a cold-water humidifier introduces 30 kilograms of moisture to an atmosphere, around 20kW of cooling is generated. For any process that benefits from additional cooling, this could significantly reduce air conditioning costs, or simply make a warm environment much more pleasant, the company said.

The JetSpray Compact can operate on mains or RO water and will control an environment to around +/-4%RH, Condair said. It incorporates automated flush and drain cycles to combat microbial growth and ensure hygienic humidification, the company said, adding that an optional PureFlo antimicrobial water filter is also available to treat the incoming water supply.

According to Condair, the humidifier is supplied fully assembled and just needs to be wall-mounted, then connected to power, water and drain. As no installation of additional nozzles or associated pipework is required, it is a very easy system to install, the company added.

User control is through a remotely located humidistat with a digital display, Condair said, adding that the user can set the desired humidity level, and the humidistat will monitor the atmosphere and control the output of the humidifier, accordingly.
