Humidity control in museum showcases with Miniclima, a combined humidifier and dehumidifier

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.
