Cleanroom Humidification Guide

Engineering comparison for cleanrooms: stable RH control with low wetting risk, fast response and integration options.

In industrial humidity control projects, buyers rarely start with a product name. They search the problem: yield loss, ESD risk, yarn breakage, condensation, or uneven humidity. This is why a technical page must include the vocabulary engineers actually use—terms like ultrasonic fogger, dry fog humidification system, industrial atomizer, mist maker module, and industrial ultrasonic humidifier—without sacrificing clarity.

PHIMAXX focuses on 1.7MHz ultrasonic atomization to generate fine droplets (often ≤5 μm) that evaporate quickly. In practice, this reduces wetting risk compared with larger-droplet systems. When specifying a system, always match capacity to ventilation load, target RH, and the stability requirement (for example ±3% RH).

Searchers may also use component-level keywords such as cleanroom humidifier, ultrasonic dry fog, steam humidifier comparison, ≤5 μm droplets, IP67 stainless steel, external humidity controller. Including these phrases naturally in headings, tables, and FAQs helps search engines understand relevance, while the engineering structure builds trust for B2B buyers.

Below is a practical, engineering-first guide. It is written to be useful on the factory floor: where to measure RH, how to size output (kg/h), which water quality is acceptable (tap/RO/DI), and how to integrate with external humidity controllers or PLC input when required.

Cleanroom humidity requirements

Engineers should focus on stability and repeatability. Define the RH target range, where the sensor is placed (work zone vs near mist outlet), and how quickly the system needs to respond to load changes.

From a search perspective, include terms like cleanroom humidifier and ultrasonic dry fog naturally in the explanation. This aligns the page with user intent and helps capture long-tail traffic.

Ultrasonic dry fog vs steam

Capacity planning example

Sizing is where most projects win or fail. The same 6kg/h industrial humidifier can be perfect in a closed workshop and insufficient in a high-ventilation line. Use the example below as a starting point, then refine with your actual HVAC and seasonality.

Capacity calculation example

Sizing example (typical industrial workshop)

  • Step 1: Estimate space volume (area × height).
  • Step 2: Set target RH and calculate moisture deficit (g/kg dry air) for your climate.
  • Step 3: Add ventilation and door-opening load (often the largest variable).
  • Step 4: Select a practical kg/h output with 15–30% margin for stability.

Suggested options: PM-06M (6 kg/h), PM-12M (12 kg/h), MS-04 (4-head module)

If you share your area size, ceiling height, and ventilation rate, we can confirm the capacity recommendation and propose a practical layout (ducted, direct discharge, or multi-zone).

PLC / BMS integration

Engineers should focus on stability and repeatability. Define the RH target range, where the sensor is placed (work zone vs near mist outlet), and how quickly the system needs to respond to load changes.

From a search perspective, include terms like cleanroom humidifier and ultrasonic dry fog naturally in the explanation. This aligns the page with user intent and helps capture long-tail traffic.

Below are common starting points. Final selection depends on your RH target, ventilation, and installation constraints.

Recommended PHIMAXX options: PM-06M (6 kg/h) · PM-12M (12 kg/h) · MS-10 (10-head module) · MS-04 (4-head module) · PM Series

Common mistakes (and how to avoid them)

  • Undersizing capacity for winter or high ventilation conditions.
  • Sensor placed too close to outlet leading to RH overshoot and unstable control.
  • Ignoring water quality—mineral scale reduces output and can shorten lifespan.
  • No maintenance plan; output drifts and users blame the technology instead of upkeep.

FAQ

What RH should I target?

Most industrial lines target 50–60% RH for ESD control and process stability, but specific targets depend on materials, HVAC, and condensation limits.

Do ultrasonic systems cause wet floors?

With correct sizing and airflow, fine droplets evaporate quickly. Wetting usually comes from oversizing, poor airflow, or directing discharge at a surface.

10-head mist maker or industrial humidifier—how to choose?

Modules are ideal for OEM tanks/chambers. Industrial systems are recommended for open workshops because they integrate protections and stable control.
