Virus and air humidity #02

The body defends itself aggressively against virus coming in via our noses and mouths. But studies indicate that low air humidity can make these defenses less effective. Read about it in our second article about the effect of air humidity on virus sp...

Virus is more contagious in dry air. This is why:

Studies have shown that an elevated indoor air humidity can hinder or stop the spread of contagion due to virus. In fact, a relative air humidity of 40% or more can almost eliminate the infectivity of several types of virus – making indoor humidity c...

Evaporative cooling: Energy-efficient removal of excess heat

Evaporative cooling: Energy-efficient removal of excess heat

It is a fact of nature that a phase shift burns energy – for instance, when water in liquid form turns to vapor, the energy required will cause the ambient temperature to drop.
