Town halls, retirement homes, libraries and museums are gradually returning to normal. But the virus is still around, and anyone who relies solely on distancing rules and wearing masks to ward off infection face a high risk of infecting themselves and others.\u00a0 Especially in closed office rooms with low humidity, the risk of infection lurks in the form of so-called aerosol particles, i.e. tiny infectious floating particles that are exhaled. That is why physicist Roland Netz from Berlin’s Freie Universit\u00e4t recommends professional air humidification. In this way, the droplets cannot shrink as quickly and are more likely to sink to the ground as heavier droplets.<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

Whether we are waiting in line at government offices, visiting our older relatives or queuing for museum ticket offices and cloakrooms, we are supposed to feel safe in public places. But we usually also share this space with others. And when we are breathing, speaking or coughing, we release not only large, visible droplets into the room in a sort of mist (known as moist breath), but also tiny particles known as aerosols in much larger quantities. However, while large droplets sink to the ground after only about 1.5 meters due to their weight – which is why the regulations prescribe a distance of 1.5 meters – infectious aerosols measuring only a thousandth of a millimetre stay in the air “for several hours, in fact\u2019\u2019.<\/p>\n

Rely on professional humidifiers in the office <\/strong><\/p>\n

According to the findings of Berlin physicist Roland Netz, if the air in a room is too dry, the water in the particles evaporates, making them smaller and allowing them to float around in the air for even longer. In terms of closed rooms, Netz says: “relative humidity is important.<\/a>\u2019\u2019 This should not be too low because the droplets then cannot shrink as quickly. Moreover, heavier droplets tend to sink to the ground.\u00a0 \u201cAlso the mucous membranes will otherwise dry out and become more susceptible to viruses.” We also know from further scientific studies that maintaining a relative humidity of 40 to 60% helps to limit the spread and survivability of coronavirus within buildings.<\/p>\n

Professional air humidification reduces the risk of infection and contagion<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Medical specialists also emphasise that we can reduce the risk of infection by increasing the humidity in buildings. For example, increasing air humidity through humidification to around 50% thus reduces the risk of transmission. \u00a0Humidifiers and air coolers from Trotec<\/a> can help here. The hygrostat-controlled Trotec humidifiers of the B-E and B series ensure optimally regulated humidity and purified room air. And the air coolers of the PAE series not only humidify the air, but also provide refreshing evaporative cooling in your home in the summer.<\/p>\n

B-E Series Ultrasonic Humidifiers<\/strong><\/h3>\n

If you want to make the most of true quality, a variety of functions and individual settings, the Trotec B-E series is the first class solution for you. You can choose between three different models variants, B 1 E<\/a>, B 5 E<\/a>, B 6 E<\/a>, which offer different nebulisation performance levels. These range from 4.8 up to 7.2 litres per day. Depending on the model, ultrasonic humidifiers can be ideally used in rooms of up to 20 or even 30\u00a0m\u00b2. All three devices in the series are characterised by a modern design, which blends in with any interior. Moreover, you can select different modes. Be it a removable scented oil diffuser, an integrated baby mode, a modern touch panel or a freely programmable timer function for example \u2013 the ultrasonic humidifiers in the Trotec B-E series leave nothing to be desired.<\/p>\n

B Series Evaporation Humidifiers<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The models in this series offer numerous advantages for creating a pleasant indoor climate and easy breathing.\u00a0 With great value-for-money, a chic design and a variety of functions, the individual variants are almost a guarantee for value for health and interior design thanks to the humidity optimisation. All models in this series, such as the B 24 E<\/a> \/ B 25 E<\/a> or the B 400<\/a>, are also hygrostat-controlled.\u00a0 Depending on the model, the performance capacity ranges from 0.6 litres to 60 litres per hour. Some air humidifiers can be used in rooms of up to 420 m\u00b2. Flexibility is key here. Apart from the many individual features and functions it offers, the B 500 model, for example, also has a special radio control. It’s hard to imagine more comfort than this.<\/p>\n

A cool tip for the upcoming summer heat – air coolers from the PAE series<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Air cooling via evaporation technology is a completely natural and, moreover, a cost-effective cooling method without any external energy required for the cooling process.
