Air humidity and "comfort diagram"
The
air humidity
of the room is permanently measured by the "R-Tronic" mod
-
els
"RTF B"
and
"RTFC K"
and is displayed in percent in the text line of the
display. What is the purpose of this display?
The ambient air humidity (measurement unit RH = "relative humidity" in %) is
an indicator for the water vapour absorption capacity of the room. Excessive
values are unfavourable as, in the long term, they will lead to moisture damages
and the formation of mildew on walls.
The
reference range
for a "good" room climate with regard to the air humidity
lies between
30 and 65%
. Many people feel values outside this range are "un
-
comfortable". If the displayed value exceeds 65%, the room should be ventilat
-
ed until the reference range is reached again. Advantage: Ventilation is carried
out in an energy saving manner, as the windows are only opened for a limited
period. After ventilation, fresh air is primarily warmed up. The following diagram
shows the correlation between air humidity, ambient air temperature and the
subjective "feeling of comfort".
