A top-line, aesthetically pleasing eye-catcher and at the same time a classic precision measuring instrument for climate control: With the Design-Thermohygrometer BZ22M you can always keep an eye on all important room climate data – room temperature and dew point, which is vital for effective mould prevention, as well as relative humidity and saturation humidity. Whether in the commercial sector such as libraries, galleries, showrooms, offices, training and meeting rooms, or in high-quality furnished living areas.
For all those who look at both inner and outer qualities: the Design-Thermohygrometer BZ21M and its analogue precision measuring technology combine solidity and visual elegance with the standards of classic watch-making. Equipped with a high-quality measuring mechanism and thanks to ultimate perfection in manufacturing, as precise as a Swiss watch, the classically elegant Hair Hygrometer shows you the four important room climate parameters on its scale layout in cross-pointer design: from room temperature to relative humidity, to the display of absolute and saturation humidity.
In the last part of our Trotec practical knowledge series we discussed the dangers of very low air humidity. But the opposite, very high humidity with values above 60 percent also poses considerable health risks. Because if too much humid air circulates in the apartment, the basic requirement for strong growth of health-threatening mould is fulfilled. Hidden in the farthest corner or behind cupboards, mould soon takes on a lively life of its own. But where does the excess moisture actually come from? And what is the most elegant way to get rid of the excess?
In the last few weeks, winter has once again made us feel what ‘really cold’ means. Many people at home have turned the heating knobs all the way to the left – and are now suffering from the consequences of dry heating air. It dries out our mucous membranes, reduces their cleansing function and creates an ideal habitat for viruses. It also causes undesirable effects such dry nose and irritated eyes, as well as coughs, colds and sore throats. Because low humidity also increases the lifetime of infectious corona aerosols in the room air, there is virtually every reason to humidify the air as much as possible in the future.
The best thing that can be said about this past year, is that there is finally light at the end of the tunnel. Now, for all those who are concerned about excessive humidity levels in their large living and office spaces, there is still a small but extra powerful additional light: The TTK 127 E dehumidifier is available again! The design is pleasantly functional, the technical equipment is remarkably comfortable, and pricing is reserved. This design impresses with a very special highlight: The dehumidifier automatically regulates the humidity value to the maximum depending on the temperature!
Who had even heard of ‘aerosols’ a year ago? It is now clear that these long-living infectious particles floating in the air are responsible for the majority of Corona infections. The renowned aerosol specialist Prof. Dr. Alfred Wiedensohler from the Leibniz Institute for Tropospheric Research (TROPOS) in Leipzig warns that “in cold and temperate climates, the indoor climate is usually very dry during the heating season. This could promote the spread of coronaviruses”. This is because at higher air humidity, the droplets grow faster and fall to the ground earlier, and can therefore be inhaled less by healthy people.
More and more people suffer from breathing difficulties in winter because the mucous membrane becomes dry in their respiratory tract. The reason for this lies in home heating: although it keeps us nice and warm inside our own four walls, it also entails unhealthily dry air. But we can help protect our mucous membrane as prevention against against allergies and annoying colds with optimum room air humidification. Our professional tips will help you avoid spending the next few months in too dry a room.
