In indoor swimming pools, water evaporates and the amount of moisture increases due to ambient conditions, pool surface area and pool activities. Accordingly, bacteria formed in the environment threaten human health and the structure is damaged due to high humidity. For this reason, humidity control in indoor swimming pool areas where humidity occurs intensively is of high importance in terms of hygiene conditions required for facility users and the operational life of the structure.
Why Moisture Forms in Indoor Swimming Pool Areas?
If the partial pressure of the water vapor in the ambient air is lower than the saturation temperature, evaporation occurs on the pool water surface. Evaporation is affected by ambient air temperature and relative humidity, pool water temperature, ambient air movement and pool usage type.
