Airex Industries established over the last decade a solid reputation in creating atomizing humidity systems and the Humidex is indicative of the company's leadership role in the industry.
The Humidex is the technologically superior humidification system available today for manufacturing and commercial building environments. This statement is backed with a successful performance record in installations ranging from small to medium-sized facilities that require precision control of interior atmospheric conditions.
Especially suited for humidifying areas with large demand loads [200 lbs./hr. or more] and where mineral fallout from the water will not be a problem. Because the system is totally enclosed and ambient air does not pass through the equipment, the dual-pneumatic atomizing heads are ideal for humidifying dirty atmospheres. At low temperatures [35°-55°F] and high levels of relative humidity [70-95%], this is about the only equipment which will do the job.
The Humidex is energy efficient, easy to install and cost effective. It incorporates a control technique that monitors not only the room humidity conditions but also the supply duct conditions to provide accurate modulation for even the most precise environments. System controls are electronic or pneumatic and can be interfaced with existing environmental control systems to provide the most efficient operation at any given moment. Precision control is what makes the Humidex system superior.

How the Humidex Series Atomizing and Evaporative Cooling System Work
The system consists of the required number and capacity of atomizing head assemblies, control sections, primary air and water reducers and humidistat controls - all properly located to provide fully-automatic humidification in the space where it is needed.>
Water Control and Air Control Section
This component contains two solenoid valves, a modulating water valve, and a pressure electric switch for full output modulation. It is mounted outside the duct but on the same level as the manifold with the atomizing heads. Each control section regulates a maximum of 500 lbs./hr. [227kg/hr.] of water. Control options are available.
The Humidex Atomizing heads
Self-cleaning, self-sealing, dripless and highly efficient, these components are the heart of the system. Several of these heads are are mounted on the duct manifold which is installed horizontally inside a duct casing. The heads are oriented for mist output at right angles to the air flow. The result is precise humidification control combined with evaporative cooling to meet exacting environmental requirements.
Humidification control Center
Using either electronic or pneumatic controls, the Humidex system senses humidity conditions and transmits appropriate signals to the compact control cabinet. A controller compares each signal to its own set point and then modulates the system automatically. Modulating signals are transmitted either to the Control section or directly to the atomizing heads. The control Center also provides an automatic shut-off every 30 minutes for self-cleaning of the atomizing heads. The cabinet, which is pre-wired, calibrated, and factory tested, includes two humidity sensors / transmitters.
