Cold room humidifier
$696.50 – $1 791.30
HumiDisk is a small yet sturdy humidifier that uses a spinning disk to atomize water and transform it into millions of very small droplets that, blown by a built-in fan, are introduced into the environment, where they evaporate, humidifying and cooling the air. Perfect for raising humidity in cold rooms to maximize vegetable storage time and quality.
Storing cold vegetables at near 0°C temperature and near 100% relative humidity levels minimizes produce water loss during storage and significantly enhances storage duration. Opting for a high moisture environment in the cold room rather than wrapping produce containers increases potential storage duration by promoting ventilation and preventing CO2 accumulation. This is possible by using a humidifier that can introduce water droplets even in an almost saturated environment.
HumiDisk is a centrifugal humidifier that uses a rotating disk to atomize the water into tiny droplets which, driven by a built-in fan, are released into the environment humidifying and cooling the air. HumiDisK is available in two versions: the version with a capacity of 1.0 l/h is compact, easy to use and can be controlled by an external switch or by a humidistat. The version with a capacity of 6.5 l/h, in addition to the bigger size and capacity, also offers the possibility to be controlled by an external electrical panel (optional), which allows the modulation of the capacity produced (from 1.1 to 6.5 l/h) and the management of washing cycles at the start and end of the cycle..
Thanks to the ability to work at low temperatures and to the very thin diameter of the droplets produced, humiDisk is particularly suitable for installation in refrigerating rooms and in storage warehouses for products like fruit and vegetables. However, the compact design and the excellent performance make humiDisk a versatile product for many other applications, such as the direct humidification of printing industries, textile industries, etc.
HumiDisk can be used both with demineralized water and mains water.
The humidifier has a washing cycle before each start and purges itself upon end of cycle. This prevent the growth of noxious microorganisms in the humidifier between cycles.
When operating in near 0°C and 100% HR cold rooms, we recommend that humidifying cycles are trigger via a timer versus a humidistat since humidistats have a poor accuracy at low temperature and high moisture levels.

Specs
Very low power consumption
humiDisk is a simple, economic and easy to maintain humidification system, with an energy consumption of just 220 W for 6.5 kg/h of capacity (31 W for the 1.0 kg/h model).
Guaranteed hygiene
The water tank inside the humiDisk contains just 0.055 litres of water, which is atomised, at maximum capacity, in just 30s for the 6.5 kg/h model and 3 minutes for the 1 kg/h model. The water in the tank is therefore changed very rapidly, meaning the humidifier substantially works with non-stagnant running water, so as to guarantee the best hygiene conditions.
Adjustable capacity (humiDisk65 only)
Operation of humiDisk65 controlled by an electronic board fitted with a trimmer for setting humidifier capacity, from 1.1 to 6.5 kg/h, making it suitable for all applications.
Automatic washing cycles (humiDisk65 only)
The board, as well as managing normal unit operation, also performs a tank washing cycle when starting the unit, and an emptying cycle when humidification is no longer required. This avoids having stagnant water inside the unit.
Important: to ensure a higher level of hygiene, when using the CAREL electrical control panels, the humidifier also washes the water tank at the start of each humidification cycle.
Water used
humiDisk can operate on both mains water or treated water. The quantity and quality of the minerals dissolved in the water affect the frequency of the routine maintenance operations and the amount of dust generated. For best operation, use demineralised water (do not use softened water, as this does not reduce the content of minerals dissolved in the water). In any case, observe the requirements of UNI8884 standard “Characteristics and treatment of the water in cooling and humidification circuits”, according to which the main characteristics of the water are conductivity < 100 μS/cm and total hardness <5 °fH (50 ppm CaCO3). Similar requirements are also specified in standards VDI6022, VDI3803.
