Trotec B 400 Portable Electric Single-Phase Air Humidifier
Large Volume Humidification for Commercial, Office and Public Institution Spaces
Healthy humidity for enclosed spaces
Hygrostat-controlled, the B 400 humidifier for large volumes puts an end to overly dry air in offices, administrations, daycare centers, museums and other similar workplaces.
Whether optimally humidifying the entrance hall of a savings bank, the common areas of a retirement home, hospital corridors or the offices of a town hall: the B 400 portable disc humidifier is capable, with its evaporation capacity of 60 l/24h, of optimizing air humidity in heavily frequented spaces up to 360 m² or 900 m³.
The problem is frequently encountered: heating and ventilation systems tend to dry out the ambient air.
Modern ventilation and air conditioning systems are now an integral part of businesses, administrations and public institutions. They provide fresh air to indoor spaces, remove unpleasant odors and ensure a pleasant ambient climate. At least in summer!
During the cold season, however, permanent air renewal strongly dries out the ambient air, so that relative humidity in rooms often decreases by 20 to 30% in winter. Not to mention that heating increases the temperature of already too-dry air. The result is increased dust in the air, drying of mucous membranes and great difficulty for the body's natural defenses to fight pathogens. It is therefore essential, particularly in public spaces, that air be optimally humidified. Especially to protect so-called "at-risk" groups from airborne germs, such as elderly people with deficient immune systems and people already suffering from respiratory diseases.
The B 400 humidifier: equipped with all necessary features for a healthy ambient climate
In order to operate continuously in a manner as risk-free as maintenance-free, the B 400 evaporation humidifier features a large 29-liter water tank with level indicator and status light, an optional water connection fitting (which eliminates the need for manual tank filling) as well as a quiet 2-level fan with automatic shut-off when the target value is reached.
The desired ambient climate can thus be defined individually and optimally. Thanks to the variable-positionable air outlet grilles and the included wall spacer, the blown air can circulate optimally throughout the room. Hygrostat control, continuously adjustable, humidifies the room to the defined target value and stops the unit once this value is reached, reactivating it when further room humidification is required.
Air humidification and air washing with a single device
Thanks to the permanently rotating evaporation felt of the B 400, ambient air is hygienically humidified and even continuously cleaned. Optimal conditions for breathing deeply healthy air!
The effects of relative humidity on the infectivity of ambient air
In an enclosed space, one cannot sneeze or cough without often attracting disapproving looks. And understandably so, as each cough or sneeze ejects into the surrounding air an explosion of thousands of highly infectious germ-filled droplets (also called aerosols) that neighbors, in the worst case, are forced to inhale. The implementation of the B 400 humidifier reduces this risk of contagion. Continuously and without any chemical disinfectant.
A relative humidity between 40 and 60% reduces the risk of droplet infection
The implementation of the B 400 humidifier deactivates germs emitted by coughing or sneezing within seconds. The humidified ambient air modifies the salt concentration within droplets, so that the pathogen, in the conglomerate of saliva, salt and germs, loses its infectivity immediately upon contact with this ambient air. A humidifier therefore does not reduce the number of droplets in the air, but it significantly diminishes the infectious power of these aerosols.
Air humidification protects respiratory mucous membranes and strengthens the immune system
The mucous membranes of the nose and throat are highly sensitive and play an essential role in defense against viruses and bacteria dangerous to health. The respiratory tract is equipped with sophisticated defense mechanisms against pathogenic microorganisms. But they only function optimally if they have an indispensable fuel: humid air.
Air that is too dry leads to drying of mucous membranes, exhaustion, fatigue and decreased concentration. The immune system is weakened and performance diminishes.
The B 400 humidifier for double protection against infections
Thanks to the implementation of the B 400, you reduce the risk of infection in two ways:
On one hand, the infectivity of suspended aerosols is almost eliminated.On the other hand, respiratory mucous membranes are optimally humidified, allowing the body's own defenses to function at full capacity.
Optimal ambient humidity regardless of environment
The implementation of the portable B 400 humidifier significantly reduces the risk of contamination by viruses and pathogenic bacteria in the numerous establishments and buildings of our everyday lives.
Furthermore, the B 400 ensures a perfect ambient climate for maximum productivity and best performance at the workplace. Likewise, the implementation of the B 400 is highly recommended for preserving works of art, writings and exhibited objects of great value.
Protecting the health of employees, visitors and customers
Optimized relative humidity reduces the risk of infection by pathogens in heavily frequented public establishments.
The B 400 humidifier reduces the number of pathogenic germs in rooms, entrance halls, corridors or waiting rooms of the most diverse types in:
Open-plan offices, cafeteriasHotels, guesthousesRetail tradeRestaurantsHospitals, day clinicsRetirement homesMedical practicesDaycare centersSchools, kindergartensSavings banks and banksUniversitiesDetention centersAdministrationsProtected workshopsChurches, meeting roomsCar dealershipsExhibition halls, conference roomsCultural centersCinemas and theatersFitness or therapy rooms
Preservation of works of art, objects and ancient writings whose loss would be irreparable
Continuously optimized relative humidity is an essential condition for the preservation of sensitive exhibition pieces in wood or paper, canvases as well as ancient writings and books. The implementation of the B 400 humidifier prevents paper crumbling, shrinkage as well as cracks and fractures in materials. Just as reliably, the B 400 minimizes dust movement and thus deposits on display cases and exhibited pieces.
That is why it is perfect for:
MuseumsExhibitionsLibrariesGalleriesMunicipal archivesArt collectionsArt storage facilitiesArt schools
