WHAT IS HUMIDITY ?
Relative humidity is a term used to describe the amount of watervapor

in a mixture of air and water vapor.

WHAT IS HUMIDIFICATION PLANT?

Comfort cooling Humidification Air Conditioning Humidification

- For application without dust pollution - e.g for Process house

- Standard system for Textile Industry in India

- For special production processes, or for lower Room temperatures

Conditions (for example):

Outside temp: 42 C Supply air temp: 26 C (at WBT 25 C)

Conditions:
Room temperature: depending on Outside WBT Room humidity: rh Setpoint 2.5

Conditions:
Room temperature: Setpoint 1.0 C Room humidity: Setpoint 2.5 rh

Role of Temperature and Humidity is very vital to

achieve desired output from the spinning mills Effect of moisture on Cotton fibre properties -Dimensions, weight, tensile strength, elastic recovery, electrical resistance, rigidity etc.. If a dry textile material is placed in a room with a particular set of ambient conditions, it absorbs moisture and in course of time, attains equilibrium.

 Strength of COTTON goes up when R.H.% goes up Strength of VISCOSE goes down when R.H.% goes up Elongation %ge goes up with increased R.H.% for most textile

fibres the tendency for generation of static electricity due to friction decreases as RH goes up At higher levels of RH , there is also a tendency of the fibres to stick together Temparature alone does not have a great effect on the fibres. However the temperature dictates the amount of moisture the air will hold in suspension and , therefore, temperature and humidity must be considered together. 7
