● An improvement of the environment in the store, including the humidity.
● The positive pressure inside the store reduces the inflow of
odors from the back yard and dust from outside the store
● The reduction of the latent heat load reduces the air conditioning
load by around 30% and the refrigeration load by around 8%.
● The formation of frost, etc., is reduced and for the display cases:
Running costs are reduced by approx. 10%.
The time required for frost removal is reduced and the General air conditioning method: DESICA method:
temperature in the cases stabilizes. Frost formation is seen on the products. There is no frost formation seen on the

Chapter 2 Selection of a DESICA system <Step [1]>
1. Calculation of air conditioning load (Sensible heat and latent

heat), ventilation amount necessary and amount of humidification
necessary
[1] First of all select the DESICA
2. Decide the number of units from the amount of ventilation
necessary
DESICA air flow rate × No. of units ≥ Amount of ventilation necessary
3. Calculation of DESICA capacity (Cooling and heating)

Based on the outdoor air and indoor design temperature and humidity
conditions, use the following details written in the technical documents for the
DESICA to calculate the capacity of the DESICA (Total heat, sensible heat and
latent heat):
l “Maximum capacity table for dehumidification” during cooling
l “Maximum capacity table for humidification” during heating
*Please contact our sales personnel if the conditions do not fit into these
capacity conditions.
4. Check of DESICA humidification amount

Calculate the amount of DESICA humidification (kg/h) from the humidification
capacity tables in the technical documents and check whether the amount of
humidification required is satisfied.
*If the requirement is not satisfied, install a separate humidifier (arranged locally) so that the amount of
humidification necessary is satisfied.
*When calculating the amount of humidification necessary, please consider the load from air infiltration
into the building and the load from air infiltration from common use corridors and neighboring rooms.
(Please refer to supplementary materials on humidification on P.14.)
*We recommend that a simulation with the actual conditions is also performed. → See Chapter 8 for
details.

∗In principle we recommend (1)
YES
There is no problem
∗1: Calculation of amount of humidification necessary

Amount of necessary humidification (kg/h) = 1.2 (kg/m3) × Air flow rate (m3/h) × (Absolute humidity in room – Absolute
humidity of outdoor air) (kg/kg)
Device humidification capacity for the air flow rate and the conditions indoors and outdoors (kg/h) ≥ Amount of necessary
humidification (kg/h)
∗2: Way of thinking about the air infiltration load allowance
The DESICA humidification capacity shows the amount that the humidity increases from that of the outdoor air. However, when
finding the allowance for the air infiltration load, it is necessary to consider the capacity to increase the humidity in the room.
Amount of increase of humidity in the room (kg/h) = 1.2 (kg/m3) × Air flow rate (m3/h) × (Discharge absolute humidity –
Absolute humidity in room) (kg/kg)
For example, when the conditions indoors are 22°C 40% (0.00656 kg/kg) and the outdoor air is 0°C 50% (0.00188 kg/kg), the
amount of the increase of humidity in the room (humidification capacity 3.1 kg/h) is 1.2 (kg/m3) × 500 (m3/h) × (0.00705 –
0.00656) (kg/kg) = 0.294 kg/h
→ Air infiltration air flow rate allowance (m3/h) = 0.294 kg/h ÷ 1.2 kg/m3 ÷ (0.00656 – 0.00188) kg/kg = 52.4 m3/h
∗In the case of 100 m3 and a ceiling height of 2.7 m, this is equivalent to a ventilation frequency of approx. 0.2 times/h.
The appropriate air infiltration load (frequency of ventilation) will differ depending on factors such as the airtightness of the
building. There is no official appropriate level at the current time. We recommend that consideration is given to the outflow of
moisture to the corridor or neighboring rooms due to the opening and closing of the doors, etc., and that a load of between 0.2
and 0.4 times is expected.

Regarding the ceiling return method
The following points are thought to be the advantages and disadvantages if the
ceiling return method is adopted.
For humidification during the winter in particular, the volume to be handled is
larger, so the humidification rise time may take a longer time than with conventional
methods.
For this reason, it is necessary to sufficiently consider the rise time.

the toilets, mini kitchen and washing machine placement, where the duct length is long and the static pressure is large,
Chapter 7
and air infiltration into the room occurred from the office and napping room.

Chapter 5
Details of problem
The humidity in the office does not reach the target value.
Chapter 6
Cause
The distance between the air conditioner and the DESICA air inlet was only around 1 m, so the air discharge from the
indoor unit performing heating operation formed a short circuit with the DESICA suction. This resulted in the DESICA
Chapter 7
entering operation target switch control* (see P.40), and it was not possible to operate at full capacity.
In the summer too, there is a risk of a short circuit forming with the air discharged from the air conditioner performing
cooling operation. This may mean that it is not possible to accurately understand the indoor humidity and humidity
control failure may occur.
Chapter 8
Countermeasure
When deciding the location of the DESICA air inlet, it is necessary to install it in a position where no short circuit will be
formed with the air conditioner air outlet.

Details of problem
The CO2 concentration rises and the humidity in the office does not reach the target value.
Cause
• When the heating thermostat goes OFF, the fan air flow rate on the indoor unit becomes “Weak.”
With the ceiling return method, when the indoor unit thermostat goes off during heating operation, the DESICA SOA
forms a short circuit inside the ceiling.
• The setting of interlocked operation with the air conditioner had been forgotten.
• In the intermediate period when air conditioning was not necessary, the operation of the indoor unit had been stopped.
Countermeasure
• When the ceiling return method is adopted, it is necessary to adjust the settings on site with the remote control so that
the equipment becomes the set air flow rate when the heating thermostat goes off.
• In the intermediate period when neither cooling nor heating is used, it is necessary for the indoor unit to always
perform the air supply operation.
• A DESICA SOA diffuser should be installed separately.

nKey points for design

[Installation location]
The machinery height is higher on DESICA than with a total heat exchanger VAM, so it was not possible to install it
Chapter 6
where the VAM had previously been installed. It was necessary to perform detailed investigations in advance in order to
identify a location where the installation was possible that avoided being under a beam and was also a location where
maintenance would be possible.
[Duct work]
Chapter 7
It was necessary to perform the reworking of the ducts around the machinery and to add additional heat insulation on
the SA duct. A large area of the ceiling was opened up, so it was necessary to prepare protective covering for a large
proportion of the office.
nPoints of caution after installation Chapter 8
[Operating sound and drafts]
The noise from the air outlet was slightly larger than it had been previously. The cause was that the VAM had been used
with a weak air flow, but the DESICA always discharges at least 500 CHM to secure the humidity adjustment and the
selection of a weak air flow was not possible. Caution is required as the method in which the existing equipment is used
Chapter 9
may mean that the new equipment produces a larger noise.

The same consideration is also required for the outlet draft.
Countermeasure
The air outlets on each system were increased from one point to two points to reduce the operating sound and the
drafts.
[Odors returning]
The vent cap on the air supply and exhaust opening was installed at 600 mm. The vent cap
selected had a special profile that diffused the exhaust air out to the left and right, so a short
circuit occurred and the exhaust air during dehumidification operation flowed into the room
causing odors.
Countermeasure
The front panel was removed from the vent cap on the exhaust side to prevent the short
circuit.

• In a large-scale building such as a general hospital, the air supply and exhaust ducts to the outdoor air must be long
Chapter 6
and consideration was given to linkage with a booster fan.
• To secure space for maintenance, it was necessary to have a square area measuring nearly 2 meters on each side as
the installation and maintenance space.
• In buildings that are already built in particular, there are various items installed inside the ceiling and it can be difficult
to secure enough space for installation and maintenance.

nReasons for selection

Violent changes in the humidity in book storage are a factor that accelerates the deterioration of the paper, so the
Chapter 4
management of humidity inside the book storage was extremely important. However, there was concern about water
leakage from equipment and devices for humidity control.
Humidification with no water supply and dehumidification with no drainage mean that there is no work for water supply
and drainage and also no concern about water leaks, so this was judged to be equipment suitable for the book storage
Chapter 5
and it was selected.

The amount of ventilation necessary was small compared with the capacity of the room, so the duct length became
Chapter 6
long. It was therefore necessary to fully consider whether the external static pressure would be within the range of use.
Also, to avoid unevenness in the air flow in the room as much as possible, careful attention was paid to the balance of
the air outlet and air inlet positions.

[Key points for the items to be set on site]
~The method for deciding the humidity target value~
The DESICA control target is the absolute humidity in the room.

In order to decide the target value, it is necessary to set the target temperature and relative humidity.

When group control is being performed with the indoor units, the value for the set temperature shall be the temperature
set on the indoor unit remote controller.
When the unit is installed individually, or when the indoor units that are being group controlled are in “Air supply” or
“Ventilation” operation, the absolute humidity is calculated using the set temperatures below.
Set temperature during dehumidification operation = Set temperature for humidification + Range of set temperatures in
dehumidification and humidification
Set temperature during humidification operation = Set temperature for humidification
(*) When the set temperature for humidification is “Automatic,” the setting automatically becomes the following.
When individual installation: Set temperature for humidification = 24°C Range of set temperatures in dehumidification
and humidification 0°C
When group control: Set temperature for humidification = 23°C Range of set temperatures in dehumidification and
humidification 4°C
The control target for this machine is the absolute humidity in the room derived from the relative humidity set with the
temperature and humidity settings made above.
(Example)
• Set temperature during humidification operation = 22°C
• Range of set temperatures in dehumidification and humidification = 4°C
• Dehumidification humidity setting: Standard
• Humidification humidity setting: Higher than standard
With the settings above, the control target becomes the absolute humidities shown below.
Target for dehumidification operation: 26°C 55% → Absolute humidity 11.6 g/kg is the control target.
Target for humidification operation: 22°C 50% → Absolute humidity 8.2 g/kg is the control target.
38
DESICA_EN.indb 38 2015/07/06 9:33:40

Also, the range of possible operation for the dehumidification and humidification is mostly decided by the absolute
humidity of the outdoor air. (See figure below.)

~When the amount of humidification is insufficient~
If the amount of humidification is insufficient in the winter, the settings below can sometimes be effective.
*Depending upon the outdoor air conditions and the indoor environment, there is concern about delays when the
humidification operation is started up. Please check this beforehand with a simulation investigation. → See Chapter 8 for
details.
(1) Change of target humidity for humidification (At time of shipping from factory: 2d-0-01, 2d-9-09)
A higher target humidity puts the equipment in a state in which it can more easily exhibit stable capacity and it is
possible to expand the scope of outdoor air conditions for which humidification operation is entered.
(2) Change of upper limit of outdoor air for humidification operation (At time of shipping from factory: 2d-2-06)
The upper limit for humidification operation is set to 15°C when the equipment is shipped from the factory. However,
this can be changed up to 24°C if necessary.
(Example - Upper limit outdoor temperature in humidification operation: 15°C)

humidification operation (°C)
(3) Change of operation target change-over range (At time of shipping from factory: 2d-1-04)
In order to prevent excessive temperature rise in the room during humidification operation, there is control that
automatically changes the operation target from the “humidity setting” to the “set temperature” if the suction
temperature exceeds the temperature decided by this setting.
In the settings when the equipment is shipped from the factory, the control target switches from humidity to
temperature if the temperature rises 2°C above the set temperature.
This is hardly ever a problem in normal installation conditions. However, with the ceiling return method, the suction
temperature is higher than the room temperature, so there is a risk that the humidification capacity will not be used
in full because of this control. Therefore, if the ceiling return method is used, we recommend that the operation target
change-over range is changed.

nAir flow adjustment operation
If the equipment is set to “Air flow rate adjustment” in the on-site settings, then the ventilation air flow rate will be
automatically adjusted to the specified air flow rate.
However, if there are multiple air outlets and air inlets, then please adjust the reducing parts on each air outlet and air inlet
so that the air flow ratio between them fits the design air flow ratio. (The operation at that time should be operation with
the humidity adjustment mode set to “Ventilation.”)

nEmergency measures when there is a “66”, “67” or “U3” abnormality
The cause of the frequent indication of the “66”, “67” or “U3” abnormalities is often that failure in the duct construction work has resulted
in the external static pressure going outside of the range for use. It is therefore necessary to improve the on-site duct construction work.
However, if there is an instruction from the customer (the facilities manager) to secure the building ventilation, then please respond by
setting a fixed air flow rate (fixed revolution speed) as an emergency measure.
After implementing the emergency measure, start the ventilation operation and check that the air flow rate at the SA air outlet and the
RA air inlet are within ±10% of the rated air flow rates.
If the air flow rate is still insufficient even if it is fixed at the maximum step [9], then there is a risk that this will cause an abnormality
in the refrigerant circuit, so be sure to set the humidity adjustment mode to “Ventilation.” (Do not set it as the “Dehumidification” or
“Humidification” modes.)

Chapter 6 Differences to conventional methods
Table 6-1 below shows a comparison between DESICA and the outdoor air processing units (total heat exchanger with
humidification function, total heat exchanger with direct expansion coil and outdoor air processing air conditioner) used on
conventional multi-split type air conditioning.
There are the following three major differences between DESICA and the other methods.
• There is no piping for water supply or drainage
• Humidity control is possible
• Less maintenance is required
The movements on the psychrometric charts for each method are shown from the next page onwards.

Differences between desiccant air conditioning and the cooling dehumidification method (Reference
materials)
A desiccant is a drying agent or dehumidification agent.
When outdoor air is to be introduced into a room, with the air conditioner method for dehumidification, a coil is cooled
using refrigerant so that the moisture in the air forms dew condensation. In some cases, reheating may then be necessary.
(Figure below → → )
In comparison, with a desiccant air conditioning system, the moisture in the air is removed directly using a drying agent
and then it is only necessary to lower the sensible heat to the required levellevel. (Figure below → → )

The conventional air conditioning method is an indirect method that performs cooling for the dehumidification to condense

Differences between desiccant air conditioning and the cooling dehumidification method (Reference
materials)
The movement of DESICA on the psychrometric chart is a movement diagonally to the lower left during cooling and a
movement diagonally to the upper right during heating. This is because it uses technology to directly cool and heat the
drying agent, which does not happen in the conventional desiccant method.

With DESICA, the heat of adsorption generated when moisture is adsorbed by the adsorbent is directly removed using the
heat of vaporization of the refrigerant. This makes it possible to move the point that is the dehumidification limit for the
conventional method to the lower humidity state II.
On the regeneration side of the adsorption heat exchanger, the heat necessary when the moisture is desorbed from the
adsorbent is directly applied using the heat of condensation of the refrigerant. This means that the desorbed air instantly
rises to IV.

Chapter 7 Method for setting the humidity adjustment mode
nTemperature and humidity sensor installation positions and roles
This equipment has the indoor air inlet and the outdoor air inlet located separately on the upper level side and the lower
level side and a total of two temperature and humidity sensors are mounted on each.
(Upper level part: Indoor suction temperature and humidity sensor. Lower level part: Outdoor air suction temperature and
humidity sensor.)
The main role of the indoor suction temperature and humidity sensor is for capacity control. The main role of the outdoor
air suction temperature and humidity sensor is for when deciding the humidity adjustment mode (“Dehumidification,”
“Humidification” or “Ventilation”).

The decision on each humidity adjustment mode of “Dehumidification,” “Humidification” and “Ventilation” is mostly
determined by the outdoor absolute humidity as detected by the temperature and humidity sensor on the outdoor air inlet.
However, the regions of operation will differ depending on the target indoor absolute humidity (which is decided by the
target relative humidity and the temperature setting for the humidity target).
The cases when the targets for the absolute humidity in the room are set as shown below are given as examples.
[Example 1]
Dehumidification target: 10.2 g/kg (24°C, 55%)···Dehumidification “Medium” setting

In the case of Example 2, the change of the target humidity to “Low” in dehumidification and “High” in humidification has
resulted in larger regions of operation than in Example 1.
Chapter 9
Note 1. The regions of operation shown in this chapter show the judgment on the humidity adjustment mode based on the
outdoor air conditions.
Note 2. The outdoor temperature range for the region of humidification operation is up to 15°C (value at shipping from
factory). However, it is possible to expand the region of humidification operation up to a maximum of 24°C using
the on-site settings.
Note 3. There are cases when the mode is judged based on the balance with the temperature and humidity of the indoor air.
(Example) If outdoor temperature > indoor temperature during humidification operation → Will change to
ventilation
Note 4. The upper limit for relative humidity in the operation regions is set to 90% in order to protect the electrical
components. There will sometimes be outdoor air conditions that exceed 90% relative humidity, for example, during
the rainy season. However, unless this continues for a long period, then it does not become a problem in actual use.
The psychrometric charts from the next page onwards show the outdoor air conditions for the different dehumidification,
humidification and ventilation operation regions for the target indoor absolute humidity.

Chapter 8 Method for calculating transitional changes in indoor humidity and example calculations
DESICA is ventilation device that can humidify without a water supply. The moisture used in the humidification is the
moisture collected from the indoor return air (RA) and moisture from the outdoor air.
For this reason, there are probably many people who will be concerned about the transitional increase speed for indoor
humidity. For example, there will be doubts about matters such as whether the humidity will rise first thing in the morning
when the indoor humidity is low, and also about whether the indoor humidity will rise when the absolute humidity outdoors
is low.
This chapter explains the method for calculating transitional changes in indoor humidity and gives some example
calculations.

nMethod for transitional calculations of humidification
The first calculation example shown is with a basic model.
Calculation example with a basic model
Example: If a humidifier with a humidification capacity of 500 g/h is operated in a room that has an internal volume of
100 m3 and absolute humidity of 4 g/kg, what are the absolute humidity and relative humidity after one hour?
Assume that there is no exchange of moisture between the indoor and outdoor air and that the indoor
temperature is steady (controlled with an air conditioner) at 22°C.
Answer: The density of air is approximately 1.2 kg/m3, so the amount of moisture in this room before the humidifier
operation is 4 × 100 × 1.2 = 480 g.
If the humidifier is operated for one hour, the amount of moisture becomes 480 + 500 = 980 g and the absolute
humidity becomes 980/(100 × 1.2) = 8.2 g/kg.
If the room temperature is 22°C, the relative humidity becomes 50%RH.
Internal volume 100 m3

As shown above, the humidifier device capacity and
room humidity changes can be easily calculated.

〈Calculation method for actual building model (simplified)〉
In an actual building, the effects of mechanical ventilation and air infiltration mean that there is movement of moisture
backwards and forwards between the inside and the outside.
For this reason, the following formula is used for the calculation.
(1) The size of the increase in the amount of moisture in the room ΔW (kg) is calculated from the amount of moisture
entering the room minus the amount of moisture leaving the room.
In other words, ΔW = γ − ε + (α1 + β1) − (α2 + β2)

(2) The amount of moisture in the room W calculated from ΔW is divided by the amount of air to calculate the absolute
humidity.

〈Calculation example for actual building model (simplified)〉
Calculation conditions
(1) Outdoor absolute humidity 1.89 g/kg (0°C, 50%RH)
(2) Room specification Floor area: 100 m2, room volume: 270 m3, number of people in room: 20
(3) Device specification DESICA HDMP50C (500 m3/h) × 1 unit
(4) Air infiltration: 0.1 times/h (Assumes concrete construction (Large-scale building))
(5) Human body sweating: 43 W/person = 62 g/(person hour) (Assumes office work at 22°C in winter)
(6) The indoor absolute humidity at the start of the calculation is taken to be 3.3 g/kg (22°C, 20%RH) and the change in
the absolute humidity is calculated per minute.
(7) The DESICA has the moisture recovered from the indoor return air (RA) + outdoor air (OA) moisture as the supply air (SA).
*The characteristics of DESICA will vary depending on the outdoor and indoor temperature and humidity conditions.
(Refer to the values written in the technical document for details.) However, in general, 80% of the indoor return air
(RA) moisture is recovered during the heating operation, so the rate of recovery for this calculation example has been
set at 80%.
Calculation (Amount of change in one minute)

(1) Amount of indoor moisture at the start of the calculation
Indoor volume (m3) × Indoor absolute humidity (g/kg) × Air density (kg/m3)
= 270 × 3.28 × 1.2 = 1062.7g
(2) Humidification (inflow) part
• Amount of human body sweating: γ1
Number of people (persons) × Rate of sweating (g/h/person)/60 = 20 × 62/60 = 20.67 g
• Amount of DESICA humidification (RA moisture recovery): γ2
Air flow rate (m3/h) × Indoor absolute humidity (g/kg) × Moisture recovery rate × Air density (kg/m3)/60
= 500 × 3.28 × 0.8 × 1.2/60 = 26.24 g
• Amount of DESICA humidification (Outdoor air supply air part): α1
Air flow rate (m3/h) × Outdoor absolute humidity (g/kg) × Air density (kg/m3)/60
= 500 × 1.89 × 1.2/60 = 18.9g
• Moisture coming in due to air infiltration: β1
Room volume (m3) × Frequency of air infiltration (times/h) × Outdoor absolute humidity (g/kg) × Air density (kg/m3)/60
= 270 × 0.1 × 1.89 × 1.2/60 = 1.02g
(3) Dehumidification (outflow) part
• DESICA outflow amount (indoor exhaust part): α2
Air flow rate (m3/h) × Indoor absolute humidity (g/kg) × Air density (kg/m3)/60
= 500 × 3.28 × 1.2/60 = 32.8g
• Air infiltration outflow moisture: β2
Room volume (m3) × Frequency of air infiltration (times/h) × Indoor absolute humidity (g/kg) × Air density (kg/m3)/60
= 270 × 0.1 × 3.28 × 1.2/60 = 1.77g
(4) Change in amount of moisture per minute
ΔW = γ1 + γ2 + (α1 + β1) − (α2 + β2)
= 20.67 + 26.24 + (18.9 + 1.02) − (32.8 + 1.77) = 32.26 g
(5) Amount of moisture after one minute
W = W + ΔW = 1062.7 + 32.3 = 1094.2 g
(6) Indoor absolute humidity after one minute
W ÷ (Indoor volume × Air density) = 1094.2 ÷ (270 × 1.2) = 3.38 g/kg
It is possible to calculate the transitional absolute humidity changes by substituting into the calculation above.
*This result is only a prediction based on calculation. The result is not guaranteed.

Chapter 9 Reference materials
lRegarding the durability of the DESICA element
In normal usage conditions, the secular change in the amount of humidification is approx. 7% over 13 years.
The change may be greater than this in some environments, for example, if there is tar attachment.
lRegarding the durability of the DESICA element

There is hardly any buildup of odors.
A non-porous adsorbent has been used from HDMP25C/HDMP50C, so there is no accumulation of odor
components.
In locations where odors are a concern, we recommend the connection of the streamer unit sold separately
(optional accessory).

After the construction work has been completed and a test run has been performed to check that the device is operating
normally, in some cases environmental measurements are taken before the equipment is handed over.
This chapter introduces the key points for the temperature and humidity measurements in a room, including for the
preparations for measurement, the measuring instruments and the measurement methods.
nMeasurement preparations
1. Check of remote controller settings before measurement
*Always change the mode to the “Humidity adjustment” mode.
In “Humidity adjustment,” the mode will automatically switch between “Humidification,”
“Dehumidification” and “Ventilation” depending on the outdoor air conditions.
2. Points of measurement
Indoor temperature and humidity: Check that the target temperature and humidity conditions are reached within about
two hours from the starting of the operation.
Outdoor temperature and humidity: As the equipment will be affected by the outdoor humidity conditions, please
measure these at the same time as the indoor measurements.
3. In order to avoid the inflow of air from the corridor during the measurements, check that the doors and openings are
closed.
nOn the day of measurement (The target temperature and humidity will vary depending on the season.)
(Humidification season *1) November to March: Target 22°C, 40%
(Dehumidification season) June to September: Target 27°C, 55%
(Intermediate periods *2) In April/May and October/November, there will be cases when the compressor thermostat
does not switch ON. “Ventilation operation”
*1: In the humidification season, if the outdoor air conditions go below 0°C, 40%
(absolute humidity 1.5 g/kg), then assume that the target of 22°C, 40% will not Typical measuring
be reached. instrument
During the humidification season, the opening and closing of the doors and the (1) T&D Data logger
density of people in the room will affect the rise time.
*2: If the DESICA in the intermediate periods is in “Ventilation” mode, then the
conditions will follow the outdoor temperature and humidity.
nMeasurement method
Measurement height: The regulations specify that measurements must be taken at a height between 75 cm and 150 cm
from the floor surface. (Example: (Former) Act on Maintenance of Sanitation in Buildings)
Measurement location: Measure in the central part of the room.
*If the shared areas are not being humidified, then the results are more likely to be affected by the opening and closing
of the doors.

nMeasurement error
• Even when measuring instruments have been calibrated, an error of around ±5% can occur due to the characteristics of
the sensors. It is therefore difficult to take accurate measurements with just one measuring instrument. We recommend
that you use as many instruments as possible and determine the measurement results from the average results.
• After preparing the sensors at the points for measurement, start the measurements when the conditions have
stabilized over a long period.
