Humidify the croc area and make it snappy!
Humidity Solutions works in collaboration with Independent Humidifier Services to supply and install a high-pres- sure water system at Shuttleworth College which offers education for future vets and zoological students
O
ne of the areas is a reptile house which includes a crocodile enclosure requiring humidity to be kept at 80% rh for its inhabitants.
Set within the stunning location of Old Warden Park, Shuttleworth College offers a wide variety of courses, making full use of the natural resources available, which include parkland, farmland, lakes and woodland - practical courses in a stunning location. The animal centre at Shuttleworth helps to build up
the students’ confidence as they take part in all kinds of practical activities with a wide range of species.
The centre houses birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, mammals and exotic animals. The centre provides an innovative learning environment whilst maintaining the highest H

standards of animal husbandry and welfare ensuring excellent practical experience.
New developments include the purpose-built humidity room and a tropical biosphere which provide specialist accommodation for the tropical rainforest species. These up-to-date facilities and environments ensure students can gain specialist knowledge of modern care techniques. Using the latest in adiabatic high-pressure technology an ultra-fine spray is created to ensure full evaporation
in a short distance to provide excellent humidity control within the tropical setting for the residence. The humidifier generates a water pressure of 50 bar through the control panel pump which is then passed through easy to install flexible pipework with push fit connections to the humidifier nozzles which in this case provide 5 litre per hour of finely atomised spray each per hour.
Humidity Solutions provided the design expertise in calculating the duty, selecting the appropriate and technical assistance. Independent Humidifier Services, who provide the planned maintenance to the site for all their humidifiers which include electric resistive as well as the high-pressure system, provided the installation services on this project using their experience and site knowledge to achieve a trouble-free turnkey solution.
High pressure humidification systems such as this are typically used in production facilities and commercial buildings. Popular applications are printing and packaging, electronics manufacturing, paint shops, museums and galleries as well as offices.
Generally speaking, the system provides a solution to help create a productive environment in any place or situation where issues related to airborne dust, static electricity, desiccation and excess heat are encountered. Many industrial processes generate excess heat which not only drives up temperatures, but also causes relative humidity to drop with negative side-effects such as electrostatic discharge (ESD), desiccation of products, reduced human comfort etc. By evaporating water using an air humidifying system, these side-effects can be reduced or even eliminated - and the evaporative effect of introducing water spray into a hot room will provide an energy-efficient cooling effect as well. In other cases, these air humidifying systems have been employed to create visual effects – for instance in theme parks in need of a fire-breathing dragon or a steaming witch’s cauldron. In sports arenas, high pressure systems generate cooling and give a dramatic effect by creating a smoke screen entirely from water mist. The systems are based on modular components, intended to improve the overall capacity of a production facility and increase the well-being employees. Whilst generally targeted at the small and medium-sized production facility, the modular design means it can also be adapted for large areas. Although IHS fully insures its engineers, the risk assessment did highlight that it would be best for the crocodiles to be removed from the area before starting the installation. Site works where carried out over the weekend to minimise disruption with commissioning taking place in the same period.
