Get a Sporting Edge with Condair

Dave Vincent, Managing Director of Sporting Edge UK Ltd, comments, “Altitude training is now universally recognized as a crucial tool for maximizing the fitness of elite athletes in the quest for performance gains. Sporting Edge produce the most advanced environmental chambers in the world and it’s vital all parts of our system offer consistent reliability and performance. This is why we have standardized our humidity control using the Condair RS steam humidifier. It provides us with a dependable, controllable product that will happily work with standard mains water. We also love the self descaling feature.”

A recent installation, which incorporated a Condair RS humidifier, was at Newcastle United Football Club. A training chamber was installed that allows the club to recreate any temperature and humidity condition the players will meet at UK and European competitions, allowing the players to refine their preparation for key matches. Alongside advanced training facilities, Sporting Edge also create high altitude environments for bedrooms. Resting and sleeping in a high-altitude condition can provide positive effects for asthma and diabetes sufferers, as well as improved weight loss and cardio performance.

The Condair RS resistive steam humidifier used by Sporting Edge in their installations can control humidity to ±1%RH when used with RO water and ±2%RH when used with mains. It’s patented scale collector system enables limescale to be routinely emptied, thus extending the intervals between service visits. A single unit can provide from 11 to 176lb of steam per hour to a duct via a steam lance and models with fan units can provide up to 88lb of humidity directly to a room’s atmosphere.
