Environmental Protection for Artefacts in Museum Showcases
miniClima - a compact dehumidifier and humidifier combined
Moisture is a major enemy in the fight to preserve
antiques and artefacts that form an important part
of our heritage.
Paintings, furniture, linens and other organic
materials contain micro organisms which thrive and
multiply in high humidity conditions - invariably
causing irreversible damage.
Valuable metallic objects stored in museum
cabinets can be susceptible to oxidisation and
corrosive degradation.
If the relative humidity is maintained within
controlled limits, no micro organism or bacteria
activity will occur and metallic surfaces will be free
from corrosion.
Our heritage can now easily be protected against
degradation for future generations to appreciate.
The miniClima constant humidity device ‘EBC’ is
specifically designed to maintain a constant relative
humidity within sealed museum display cases -
without influencing the internal temperature.
At about the same size as a large shoe box, the
combined dehumidifier and humidifier unit is simple
to install and easily hidden from view in the base of
the exhibition showcase.
