It started in Japan and China from August 2024. By using the ultra-fine mist “Silky Fine Mist” that is sprayed from a uniquely developed two-fluid mist nozzle (*1), we are able to reduce the impact on production equipment by taking advantage of its easy-to-evaporate properties, compared to steam humidification using an electric boiler. Realizes reduction in power consumption during operation.
As electronic and electrical parts and equipment become smaller and more densely packed, their resistance to static electricity is decreasing, and static electricity countermeasures are becoming increasingly important at manufacturing sites these days.
Humidification is one of the preventive measures to suppress the generation of static electricity, but there is also a need to consider the environment in order to achieve decarbonized management. In demonstration experiments conducted at Panasonic’s manufacturing sites, the two-fluid mist humidification solution has been shown to reduce energy consumption by approximately 90% compared to steam humidification using existing electric boilers.
We will begin accepting orders and providing services for this solution, which achieves the required humidity at manufacturing sites while demonstrating excellent energy-saving performance that significantly reduces the running costs of conventional steam humidification systems using electric boilers. In the future, we aim to contribute to the management of business customers by expanding our business both domestically and internationally, and by meeting the needs for large-scale space humidification at manufacturing sites. -Main features of Panasonic’s two-fluid mist humidification solution- 1. Ultra-fine mist with an average particle size of approximately 7.5 μm or less (*2)
2. High energy efficiency reduces running costs and CO2 emissions 3. Contributing to healthy and sustainable management
*1 Two-fluid mist nozzle: A nozzle that mainly sprays two fluids: air and water. *2 Average particle diameter is Sauter average particle diameter Please see the press release below for the full text.
