Air humidification can prevent damage to the fibers of collectibles caused by low relative humidity in the air conditioning system. Many priceless manuscripts, books, artworks, ultra Microsoft films, tapes, etc. in the museum are prone to serious damage if not stored in a space with appropriate temperature and humidity control; The only suitable environment for the items listed above is relatively low temperature, which is often uncomfortable. The minimum relative humidity limit for paper collectibles in general museums is 40%; The lower limit for preventing drying and hardening of ultra Microsoft chips, tapes, etc. is 36%; Organic collectibles require a lower temperature environment. On the other hand, collections in the museum usually rotate between display rooms and storage rooms. It should be noted that even in environments with temperature and humidity control, such as heat conduction outside walls or radiation from switching lights, the surface temperature of the collection can still change, leading to water evaporation and damage to the structure of the collection; Furthermore, when collectibles are transferred from a low-temperature storage room to a high-temperature display room, the surface temperature of the collectibles gradually rises. At this time, internal moisture will gradually float on the surface and condense, forming a moisture transfer phenomenon, which will accelerate the aging of the collectibles. Suggest the temperature and humidity inside the museum as follows:
| Average in the museum | 20~22℃,47%+2 |
| Archive area | 12~18℃,45%+2 |
| Art storage room | 17~22℃,48%+2 |
| Organic collectibles | 4.5~10℃,48% |
The main purpose of humidification in hotels, offices, and other places is to improve human comfort and reduce the occurrence of respiratory and skin diseases.
