# Morris and Helen Belkin Art Gallery Humidification System Upgrade Project

1 2 3 4 5

Client: University of British Columbia
Venue: Morris and Helen Belkin Art Gallery
Year: 2007
Type: Institutional

This project began with a review of the existing humidification system design problems and determination of causes and the development of some redesign options. An option to replace 5 of the 8 zone humidifiers with new electric pan humidifiers was selected to replace the failing - oversized steam to steam units.

A dew-point temperature control scheme will be used to ensure tight RH control under variable conditions to well within +/- 1%RH. The new equipment was installed in March 2007.

Many thanks to UBCH staff and also to Chris Malloy at Square M for the great service and pricing for the Dristeem equipment.
