Lab Humidification Systems

Labs often operate with 100% outside air, creating a large humidification demand for accurate results and safe handling of sensitive materials. Without proper humidity control, labs face issues such as electrostatic discharge (ESD), compromised experiments, and poor indoor air quality.

MeeFog lab humidification systems offer precise, energy-efficient humidification while lowering HVAC energy consumption, making them perfect for such environments. Proper humidification, often within the 40–60% range, is critical for maintaining research integrity and lab safety.

Medical device facilities and other ESD-sensitive environments require stable humidity to prevent static discharge and protect sensitive equipment. MeeFog lab humidifiers use high-pressure fogging to maintain optimal humidity levels. This is critical for regulatory compliance, production consistency, and safe operation of sensitive electronics in your labs and manufacturing facilities.

The 170,000 sq. ft. NCAR Supercomputing Center in Wyoming uses MeeFog to protect its IBM Yellowstone supercomputer from ESD. The dry Wyoming climate is ideal for free cooling, but it creates a risk of dangerously low humidity.

By installing the MeeFog lab humidification system, NCAR delivers fog directly into the AHUs and supply air, maintaining safe humidity levels while saving energy. The system operates through two FM-200-B271P ceramic plunger pumps at 1000 psi, integrated with the Johnson Metasys controls for precise automation.

MeeFog avoids the high energy costs of steam by using a small horsepower pump instead of boilers. The lab humidifier system consumes up to 90% less energy than steam humidifiers, while also providing adiabatic cooling that reduces chiller use. For labs running 24/7 with high ventilation loads, the operational savings are substantial, often delivering ROI in 1–3 years.

Yes, MeeFog lab humidifier systems can be fully integrated with Johnson Controls, Siemens, Honeywell, and other BAS platforms. At NCAR, it’s connected to Johnson Metasys controls to regulate both temperature and humidity in real time.

By reducing reliance on steam and minimizing chiller loads, MeeFog lab humidification systems support sustainable designs and contribute to LEED certifications. NCAR selected MeeFog as part of its “right-sized” construction strategy, providing reliable humidification for 20–30 years while cutting energy and operational costs.

MeeFog lab humidification systems use advanced high-pressure pumps and fine nozzles to create ultra-fine droplets that evaporate. This design provides accurate humidity control with rapid response to changes in outdoor air temperature or ventilation rates.

Each system can modulate output to maintain consistent levels within tight tolerances, keeping humidity in the ideal 40–60% range for sensitive lab environments.

Our lab humidifier systems are designed for low maintenance. The pumps operate with clean, filtered water, and stainless-steel components resist corrosion.

Routine visual checks, filter changes, and periodic nozzle inspections are typically all that is needed. The modular design also means easy servicing without system downtime, which is a plus for facilities operating around the clock.

Yes, you can install our lab humidification systems in new buildings or retrofit them into existing HVAC systems. The fog manifolds mount directly inside air handling units or ducts, requiring minimal space. It’s highly flexible and a suitable upgrade for labs looking to improve humidity control without major mechanical changes.

Our lab humidifiers use a fraction of the energy required by steam systems. The adiabatic process adds humidity while providing evaporative cooling, reducing chiller load. For facilities focused on energy reduction, this dual effect supports sustainability objectives, lowers utility costs, and extends HVAC system life.
