Clean Air and Climate Control Systems for Display Cases

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides an in-depth analysis of clean air and climate control systems designed by GLASBAU HAHN for museum display cases. These systems are crucial for protecting cultural artifacts from pollutants, dust, and environmental fluctuations.
Specifications: The climate control systems are categorized into active and passive methods. Active systems inject purified, humidity-controlled air or nitrogen to maintain overpressure, preventing dust and pollutants. Passive systems utilize humidity-absorbing materials like Silicagel to stabilize relative humidity, though they lack the rinsing effect of active systems. Specific modules such as the RK-2, RK-2-Xa, and RK-3-N2 are detailed with their dimensions, weight, voltage, and power consumption.
Procedures: Maintaining a controlled microclimate is essential to prevent artifact damage. Regular maintenance, including biannual filter changes and monitoring water levels in humidity systems, is emphasized.
Standards and Recommendations: The systems adhere to strict conservation standards, limiting air exchange to 10% of the display case volume daily. Filters and catalytic systems ensure air purity, free from bacteria, spores, and pollutants.
Key Features: The modular design allows for easy upgrades and component exchanges. Digital controls and safety features, including alarms and system shutdowns in case of malfunctions, are included. Optional features offer external alarms and data monitoring via a LON-Network.
Applications: Installations in locations like the Hungarian Parliament and Cerritos Millennium Library demonstrate the systems' versatility and effectiveness.
General Accessories: Accessories include a digital thermo-hygrometer, a digital oxygen meter, and the HAHN CON-TROL system for centralized monitoring and control of climatic data.
Central Monitoring System - HAHN CON-TROL: This system enables centralized PC monitoring of microclimates, offering features like adjustments, evaluations, warnings, and data transfer.
Passive Climate Conditioning: Moisture buffering materials such as SILICAGEL and saturated salt solutions are used to maintain humidity. Regular monitoring and reconditioning are necessary.
Use of SILICAGEL: SILICAGEL can be used in both existing and temporary display cases, placed directly in the display area or in sealed drawers to maintain internal climate during reconditioning.
Use of Saturated Salt Solutions: These solutions offer longer reconditioning intervals but pose handling challenges and environmental risks.
Retrofitting and New Display Cases: The document stresses the importance of selecting display cases that facilitate easy retrofitting of climate control systems for future adaptability.
Acknowledgements: The document acknowledges the support from various institutions and clients in developing these systems.

Systeme zur Erzeugung von Reinluft, Feuchtigkeit, Stickstoff und/oder Temperatur in Vitrinen Systems to generate clean air, humidity, nitrogen and / or temperature control in display cases Selbst bei Vitrinen höchster Dichtigkeit findet, bedingt durch Luftdruck- und Temperaturschwankungen, ein Luftaustausch statt. Display cases even of the highest quality and air-tightness experience an exchange of their micro climate due to varying barometric pressures and temperatures. Infolgedessen dringen Staub und Schadstoffe in die Vitrinen ein, die sich auf den Exponaten ablagern und Schäden verursachen....

Clean Air and Climate Control Systems for Display Cases-8

RL = Reinluft-Modul Zweck: Eliminierung von Staub und Schadstoffen in der Vitrine RL-Xa Central Clean Air Module The air-cleaning module is installed at a central location, serving several display cases from there. Das Reinluft Modul wird an einem zentralen Platz installiert und versorgt von dort mehrere Vitrinen. Filtered clean air is injected into the display area by means of an electrical pump. The volume of air pumped into the case must be more than any possible penetration from outside due to barometric or other changes. Thus a slight over-pressure is created inside the display case, which...

Clean Air and Climate Control Systems for Display Cases-11

Speziell organische Exponate müssen vor dem Befall von Insekten, Eiern, Larven, Puppen, Mikroben und Bakterien geschützt werden. Ebenso muss die Oxydation (Korrosion) verhindert werden (z.B. Anlaufen von Metallen, Vergilben von Papier, etc.). Für diese Art von Exponaten empfehlen wir die unten genannten RK-3 Systeme zu verwenden. Often exhibits must be safeguarded against insects, larvae, germs and bacteria. Also certain artifacts might require special precautions to avoid oxidation (i. e. oxidation of silver, yellowing of paper). In this case we recommend using one of the RK-3 systems mentioned...
