[labnetwork] High Humidity Issues in Coastal Areas?

[Tribble, Thomas]

Your HVAC engineer should be able to confirm for you that your mechanical systems are not able to keep up with the dehumidification demand being placed on them.  Things to do:

1.      Recalibrate your HVAC instrumentation

2.      Check your HVAC setpoints and control algorithems

3.      Check your supply/exhaust air balance

4.      Close any blast gates not providing useful tool ventilation

Dear All,

During Monsoon time in India, and specially in Mumbai where it rains heavily from June to September, we observe high humidity in the lab ~65%. We have de-humidifiers as well as other HVAC infrastructure. But more control is required. Is it possible or our infrastructure is not good enough?

Are there any other known humidity control solutions known to you. Is it the case with others as well, who are in heavy rains/humid area. This certainly is not the case with Intel in Portland, OR, where it rains a lot too.
