Re: Air flow reducing mold growth (was: Re: Trane's stance on UVC)

[Guest guest]

Could you cite your sources

about air movement prohibiting mold

growth? I'd like review them.

As I said in my original message, you can do your own research. I

know what I said to be true based on my experience and what I have

read.

I had gone through several iterations of replies to your message.

But I can show you are not exactly correct in your statements by a simple

example. What is the major recommendation for preventing mold

growth after flooding? Drying the materials out as rapidly as

possible. And how to most companies do that? By using both

dehumidifiers AND air movement. The reason for this combination is

simple. Air movement promotes mixing of the air at the material

surface, preventing moisture gradients that impeded surface

evaporation. And yes, it does occur. When the humidity levels

near a material surface approach 100%, little evaporation takes

place. If this air is mixed with air of lower humidity level,

evaporation can occur, promoting drying of the materials.

If what is written looks too stupid to be written by me, I disclaim

it. On

the other hand, if it is brilliant, then I have no one to blame but

myself.

Otherwise, whether you choose to accept my opinion is up to you.
