Solution Overview
Problem
Existing humidification and evaporative-cooling ventilation systems face inefficiencies in water absorption, leading to condensation and bacterial proliferation in ducts, and are limited in supersaturation capacity, with conventional systems unable to absorb all introduced water without condensation and dripping.
Innovation Solution

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If conventional humidification systems introduce water into air flow, then humidification is achieved, but water absorption is incomplete leading to condensation and dripping
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses a fluid-thread straightener that dynamically conditions the air flow to be laminar before it reaches the nebulized water. This dynamic flow control ensures that air molecules systematically absorb water molecules without turbulence, achieving complete water absorption and preventing condensation and dripping.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention changes the flow regime parameter from turbulent to laminar using the fluid-thread straightener. This parameter change transforms the air flow characteristics, enabling complete water absorption and eliminating the harmful effects of condensation and dripping that occur in conventional turbulent flow systems.
2Quantity of substance
If supersaturation capacity is increased beyond conventional limits, then more water can be absorbed, but condensation and bacterial proliferation occur in ducts
Solution Approach 1:
The invention replaces the conventional turbulent mechanical mixing system with a laminar flow system using the fluid-thread straightener. This substitution creates a controlled environment where water is systematically absorbed without creating the turbulent conditions that lead to condensation and bacterial proliferation, enabling supersaturation capacity to increase to 40 g per kilogram of air.
3Productivity
If conventional diffusion holes are used, then air distribution is achieved, but water absorption efficiency is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The fluid-thread straightener acts as an intermediary between the air flow and the nebulized water. It conditions the air flow to be laminar, serving as a mediator that enables complete water absorption. This intermediary device transforms the air flow characteristics to maximize water absorption efficiency and eliminate unabsorbed water.
