Process gases rarely require humidification, but one example of a gas that needs to be humidified is medical gas such as the oxygen supplied to a patient (Figure 10). The oxygen causes the nasal passages to dry, and humidification adds moisture to increase patient comfort. Figure 10 - Oxygen humidifier.
The most common example of process humidification is adding moisture to the air stream in a heating, ventilating and air-conditioning (HVAC) system (Figure 11). In northern climates, dry outdoor air enters the HVAC system. Moisture can be added to the intake air to maintain comfortable inside humidity levels.
Figure 11 - Building humidification.
The air humidification process operates as follows.
1. Outdoor air (OA) enters the system (Figure 11).
2. The air passes through dampers that maintain a mixed air setpoint (SP). The SP

The air passes through particulate filters and the heating and cooling coils. Flow through the coils is determined by TC-2 and sensed by TT-2.
4. The air passes over the humidifier and is discharged as supply air through the supply air blower.
5. Humidity controller 1 (HC-1) sets the humidity level.
6. The humidity is adjusted according to the outdoor air temperature sensed by temperature transmitter (TT-3).
7. The humidity transmitter (HT-2) senses the return air humidity, and the steam valve is set to maintain the return air humidity. The return air comes from the conditioned space, so it is an accurate indication of interior humidity. Humidity is lowered during colder periods to prevent excessive condensation.
8. Humidity limit controller 1 (HL-1) measures the supply air humidity immediately downstream from the humidifier.
9. When the humidity levels leaving the humidifier rise above the setpoint, HL-1 overrides the steam valve through the low-select relay. This is a limit control strategy that prevents excess moisture from being added to the air during a system start-up or following an adjustment to the HC-1
The QWell Air Purifier enables consumers to improve the quality and convenience of their lives by making it easy to purify the air using electronically controlled systems. The unit automatically adjusts its fan speed to the appropriate setting suited to the current level of dust in the room. It is a very useful appliance for people with young children in the home or elderly people who are very sensitive to particles suspended in the air which can cause allergies, respiratory problems and asthma attacks.
The system, which includes a reservoir, pump, motor, control unit, distribution lines and nozzles, is designed to offer maximum effectiveness with minimum intrusion. A timer activates the system, sending a mist through the lines for dispersal through the nozzles. Each misting period lasts between 20 and 45 seconds. Normally, there are between two and four misting periods daily; the first misting period is at dawn and the last misting period is at dusk. A remote control can be used for manual adjustments to the settings, and a backup power system ensures that the misting system will operate in the event of a power outage. A misting system is ideal for private homes, restaurants with outdoor dining areas, pool areas, common areas in residential or office complexes, animal stables, entertainment zones or any other outdoor gathering
Passages that filter incoming air and transport it through the body, into the lungs and to many microscopic air sacs where gases are exchanges is called the respiratory system. Respiration is the process of exchanging gases between the atmospheres and the body’s cells. There are several events that happen in the respiratory system they

5.Position gas collecting hose so it runs from reaction vessel through gas collecting box to opening of the graduated cylinder. The idea is that any gas coming through the tube will rise in the graduated cylinder and displace the water in it.
* What is the unit used to measure the amount of cooling needed in summer time? CDD
What is the Heat Index when the air temperature is 97 degrees Fahrenheit and the relative humidity is 60 percent?
The way of which the water was measured through the 100mL plastic graduated cylinder and the way in which the paper towels are picked up is also a controlled
Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning - Uninterrupted ventilation, heating and air-conditioning systems are critical environmental controls due to computers being particularly sensitive to the smallest changes in humidity and temperature.
The compressed air supply is oxygen and is in gas cylinders. The anesthetic vaporizer is where it vaporizes the anesthetic inhalant; there is a precision vaporizer or a non-precision vaporizer. The flowmeter is what delivers the exact amount of the oxygen, and the oxygen flush valve delivers a very high pressure of 100 % oxygen. The common gas outlet is when the carrier and anesthetic gases leave the machine and

(4) In this article named How Relative Humidity Affects Evaporation written by Atula Gupta we discuss how relative humidity affects evaporation. Relative humidity the amount of water vapor in volume of air divided by the amount of air in that volume is called humidity. Depending on the temperature,the higher it is, it can increase the rate of evaporation and the amount of water vapor in the air. At a given temperature, there is a maximum amount of water vapor that air can hold and when the maximum capacity is reached the process of condensation
The rationale for this intervention is that humidification can help to thin tenacious secretions, lower the risk of mucus plug formation and allow for better expectoration and easier extraction via suctioning (Branson, 2007). This is particularly relevant for patients with tracheostomies since air entering their lungs is not warmed by the nasal turbinates and can lead to dry secretions that are hard to remove (Lewis, 2014). To implement this intervention I consulted the patient’s chart to confirm that this was recommended. I then attached the patient’s tracheostomy mask to a constant flow of warm humidified
Humidity-it is the amount water vapour present in the atmosphere.humidity determines the loss of water from land organisims by perspiration ,transpiration and other means.
The air will then go into the tracheae tubing system where chitin prevents the trachea from collapsing, which makes sure that there is a clear passage for oxygen to flow in and carbon dioxide to flow out. The trachea then leads right to the tracheoles. Which are an even smaller tubing system that branch from the trachea and are small tubes that go to every body cell/tissue. The tip of the tracheoles are moist to allow the gasses to be dissolved so they can diffuse in and out the tissues down their concertation gradient. Tracheoles also allow for a short diffusion distance between itself and the cells/ tissue.
