Trotec practical knowledge: dry office air makes for dry eyes – professional air humidification helps

Office folk are often all too familiar with the problem of endlessly irritated eyes. When your eyes have too little tear fluid, they become excessively dry, they itch, they burn and they become red.

A professional humidifier – from Trotec – helps to combat this!

“Where does moisture come from?” – determining air temperature and air humidity

Therefore, the precise measurement of air temperature and humidity as well as the exact determination of the dew point temperature are at the heart  of building diagnostics – as well as for the accompanying measuring devices: the professional thermohygrometers from Trotec.
