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 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.
