Maritime air humidification

All maritime air humidification systems are installed on board to protect life, health, goods and sensible equipment and systems.

Human comfort above 40% air humidity

In all areas where people work, sleep or travel, a minimum air humidity of approx. 40% must be ensured under all circumstances in order to protect the mucous membranes from dehydration and to prevent diseases.

Optimum conditions for moisture-sensitive goods

When storing or transporting moisture-sensitive products the air humidity conditions must be controlled to prevent e.g. fruit and vegetables from drying out and losing quality.

Maritime facilities located in areas around the freezing point

In areas with temperatures around the freezing point, the air also loses its ability to absorb moisture as the temperature decreases. Therefore, it is necessary to control the air humidity in sensitive areas permanently and to regulate them according to the needs.

Optimum environment for sensitive electronic equipment

The right air humidity level prevents sensitive navigation and measuring instruments and electronic equipment from impairment and distortion due to static discharges. A controlled air humidity reduces dust exposure and the propensity to electrostatic charging, thus protecting against malfunction or damage.

Wellness and spa areas at sea

Humidification up to 100% air humidity has a relaxing effect on people. Whether in the spa area of a cruise ship or on the offshore oil platform for e.g. steam generators provide hygienic steam for valuable recovery of passengers and crew members.

HygroMatik steam humidifiers are matched for the marine engineering industry in a corrosion-resistant stainless steel housing. Additionally, they are powder-coated for greater durability. With compact dimensions, hygienic humidification is achieved with mineral-free steam in
heating and ventilation systems. Developed and manufactured in Germany.

Depending on the water quality you can choose between electrode or heater type steam humidifier. Electrode units can be operated with tap water or softened water, the heater type units can also be operated with demineralised water. All units can be further adjusted to suit the different water qualities. HygroMatik is happy to help with the selection and adjustment.

The FlexLine units can be supplied in the range of 200-690V / 3phases. They allow isolation resistances of > 50MΩ which is important for electrode steam humidifiers. A high performance electronic control allows fastest possible control and can be easily accessed through a touch control interface.

All units are equipped with reusable cylinders that are easy to clean and maintain. Heavy duty drain pumps accelerate the water blowdown process.

HygroMatik FlexLine units offer optimum component accessibility for easy, time- and environment-saving as well as cost-effective maintenance. HygroMatik provides excellent support during the planning phase, a vast product range and many options to choose from. We also offer advice and supply products and spare parts to international ports and on site.
