Abstract
A device for precisely humidifying a process gas is presented, with particular application to document preservation. The machine is designed to minimize the risk of damage from overpressure by incorporating multiple safety mechanisms and a simple user interface. The design theory is presented, discussed, and verified. This device is capable of generating humidified gases with relative humidities between 7 and 96 to high accuracy. At conditions suitable for document preservation, the machine is accurate to within 3.5 %, generating a relative humidity of (40 1.4).
