Custom humidification system solution for outdoor storage

The project challenge

In the new three-zone warehouse building, the client wanted to ensure a stable and high humidity level of 80% RH in each zone, separated by curtains or doors. Such a system is essential to keep the stored wet sawn timber in optimal conditions before it is directed to the kiln, and to prevent premature drying of the material. In addition, the winter cold had to be taken into account, which can create a freezing risk in the piping.

How we built the solution

We developed a plan that would meet the client's requirements, including customised humidification zones that enable spraying primarily from top to bottom, creating a uniform humidity coverage for each storage area.

Automation and remote management

The client chose the interior of the building as the location for the control system, which ensures easy access and efficient monitoring of the system. The piping heating cable activates immediately when the temperature in the piping is near the freezing point – nothing needs to be switched on manually.

The result

The solution ensures that the humidity level does not fall below 80% RH, meeting the client's need to maintain the material's moisture before it moves to the kiln. The positive experience with the operating principle and results of the previous system gave the client confidence to expand the same approach to the new premises.
