We probably both would recommend the DC system me thinks. But for a University hall where instruments are moved alot the DC has this nasty weakness of being unplugged. I'd like to see your battery back up idea in action tho... that seems like a neat idea. But I am not a fan of too much enclosure... ie bottom and top coverings. I run into too many objections from proffessors and teachers about that. Personally, I like a well functioning room system better then a DC. But it has to be a good system for sure. A university should have enough money to install such a thing, and its good for all concerned. > > I still don't believe that room type humidifiers can offer the same level > of control as DamppChaser systems.

Well, an underdimensioned room system certainly isnt a good solution. > > Btw I have my first real results from bottom covers and they wonderful.

The other four are in rooms that are controlled climates. > > If you think 15% is low--try 4%! No way... I would last for 10 minutes before breaking out in a horrible rash. I got dry enough skin as it is. 4% is unacceptable as an inside climate IMHO. -- Richard Brekne RPT, N.P.T.F. Bergen, Norway mailto:rbrekne@broadpark.no http://home.broadpark.no/~rbrekne/ricmain.html
