New RO Water Purifier For Humidifiers
Story
Condair is launching the Condair RO-E reverse osmosis water purifier, which has been specifically designed for use with humidifiers. The Condair RO-E will reduce the service requirements of all humidifiers and improve humidity control when used with steam humidifiers.
The main service requirement of any humidifier is associated to managing the limescale that is left behind when the unit either boils, evaporates or sprays water into the air. The Condair RO-E removes the minerals from the supply water before they are introduced to the humidifier, thus significantly reducing residual limescale following humidification.
In steam humidifiers, this also improves humidity control, as the boiling chamber does not need to run dilution cycles to control mineral levels, and therefore water temperature and steam output is much more consistent.
As the Condair RO-E has been designed specifically for use with humidifiers, the range will deliver water with the ideal level of minerals for the type of application. Steam humidifiers benefit from water that is around 95-98% mineral-free. This quality provides a long service lifetime on the water filter membrane, optimal water consumption, and a significant reduction in the service requirements of the humidifier. The Condair RO-E+ model for spray humidifiers, will deliver 99% mineral-free water. Very pure water results in dust-free spray humidification, with utmost hygiene control and mitigates the risk of spray nozzle blockages due to mineral build-up.
The Condair RO-E comes with an optional touch-screen controller that can be mounted directly on top of the unit or located remotely. It offers intuitive control over all operations, as well as information on operational history. When used with any Condair humidifier that has the latest control interface, all functions of RO-E can be managed directly from the humidifier’s control panel.
Outputs across the range start at 40 litres per hour of product water on the smallest unit and go up to 300 litres per hour on the largest. With models up to 100 litres per hour, an internal 25-litre expansion vessel satisfies instant demand for pure water, whilst the larger models come with a 140-litre external water tank. Recovery rates are 50% with hard water and 70% with soft water.

Weatherite & Condair – A Cool Partnership
Story
When Weatherite needed to develop an innovative cooling solution that didn’t rely on man-made refrigerants, it turned to Condair’s adiabatic cooling expertise. The partnership resulted in Weatherite’s innovative AdTec-D direct cooling system, which is now a highly proven free air-cooling unit, used by leading telecoms and data centre clients.
Andy Lewis, General Manager for Data Centres at Weatherite, commented, “Incorporating Condair’s adiabatic cooling into our AdTec-D unit has saved 80% of power per unit, compared to equivalent refrigerant-based systems. Condair’s flexibility and engineering helped us massively for adapting and producing products specific to the client’s needs. This allowed us to innovate and really deliver what the client was after.
“A key benefit of working with Condair is their reliability and in not viewing them as merely a supplier, but as a partner, capable of supporting our product from the design stages through to on-site commissioning. I would definitely recommend Condair because of the quality of product, the service that they offer, and also because of the innovation that they offer for this sector.” Andy concluded.
Weatherite’s AdTec-D can offer 15-80kW of sensible cooling per unit, typically operates with an energy efficiency ratio greater than 15, and is an ideal retrofit solution for DC or telecoms operations looking to take advantage of free-air cooling. It can operate in free-air cooling only mode when the outdoor conditions allow or utilise adiabatic cooling to boost performance when needed. Even on the UK’s hottest ever recorded day, the AdTec-D successfully maintained the required indoor conditions for a leading UK telecoms provider, without any additional compressor-driven cooling.
Condair offers an extensive portfolio of humidification, dehumidification and evaporative cooling systems, including evaporative media supply for free-air, hybrid or liquid cooling systems. It’s ability to provide customer specific solutions with advanced engineering support make it an ideal partner for any OEM or HVAC manufacturer looking to develop innovative cooling or humidity control systems.

Humidity Blossoms At Chelsea Physic Garden
Story
Chelsea Physic Garden has recently installed a Condair ML high-pressure spray humidifier to maintain the perfect atmosphere for horticultural success in its restored Victorian glasshouses.
Founded in 1673 by the Worshipful Society of Apothecaries of London, Chelsea Physic Garden is one of the oldest botanical gardens in Britain, occupying four acres of land on the edge of the Thames. Today, it is home to more than 4,500 species of medicinal, edible and useful plants, and remains a vital centre for plant science and education.
John Constable, Glasshouses Manager & Gardener, commented, “Maintaining the right humidity is vital for the health of our tropical collection. Without it, we quickly see signs of stress in the plants – yellowing, crisping and even death. The Condair humidification system has enhanced how we manage the environment in the glasshouses. It gives us peace of mind that the conditions are right, so we can focus more on the plants themselves. It has made a noticeable difference to both plant health and how we work day-to-day.”
The garden’s historic glasshouses are key to cultivating sensitive tropical and subtropical species, such as cocoa and vanilla as well as a wide range of other tender ferns, epiphytes, woody trees and climbers. These plants rely on consistently high humidity to replicate their natural rainforest environments.
Previously, humidity was maintained by wetting down the heating pipes to create a steamy environment. The recent restoration of the glasshouses presented an opportunity to modernise features, including the introduction of an advanced humidity control system.
The Condair ML spray humidifier was installed by Parker Air Conditioning Ltd. A water treatment system both purifies and pressurises mains water, supplying it to a series of nozzles located around the greenhouse. These nozzles release a fine mist that is fully absorbed into the air, providing consistent, hygienic humidity without any wetting on surfaces or the floor.
The use of reverse osmosis water filtration and onboard UV-light sterilisation ensures the mist is hygienic and mineral-free. This not only maintains a healthy environment but also prevents any dust being released into the greenhouse from the supply water. In addition to precise humidity control, the system provides low-energy evaporative cooling, making it ideal for greenhouse environments.
