Development of adiabatic and isotherm humidifier models to compare health, energy and water use Ghent University
In Belgium, when humidification is needed, isotherm (steam) humidification is mandatory in public buildings to prevent Legionella contaminations. The question is whether adiabatic humidification, which should be more energy efficient than isotherm humidification (Jo et al., 2017), can be used as an alternative without introducing a Legionella hazard. Two new Modelica component models for adiabatic and isotherm (steam) humidification are ...
