Which is better; a humidifier or a diffuser?

While designing an air handling unit, it is important to consider the parameter of humidity. A range of 45% – 55% relative humidity level should be maintained for the comfort.


At the times of summer or winter, the humidity level of the air goes down, causing discomfort to the occupants inside. This is where we find the importance of a humidifier in an AC system. The humidity of the air can be increased or decreased using humidifier or de- humidifiers.

There are various types of humidifiers available such as,


Spray Type humidifier, which got a header and spray nozzles that spray water with a pressure of 15 psi.

Steam Grid Type Humidifier, which has holes on its pipe for steam distribution. The water is conditioned to avoid odor discharge to the room.

Steam Pan Type Humidifier, which has a pan and a heating coil to heat the water in the pan. This increases the humidity level of the room.

In HVAC systems, different types of air distribution devices are available such as grills, registers and diffusers. Diffusers are of various types such as,


Ceiling Diffusers

Slot Diffusers

Jet Nozzle Diffusers


They are suitable for supplying heated and cooled air in large areas. These can be adjusted to make the airflow in any direction. They have advantages for long distance air supply, low noise levels and come in various sizes and colors. They can be installed anywhere like a sports hall, airports, and shopping centers or at indoor markets. Contact Tecnalco for a professional jet nozzle diffuser installation anywhere in UAE.
