OPERATING PRINCIPLE
The sunk-electrode humidifiers in the EASYSTEAM range use the conductivity of potable water to
produce steam by boiling.
The cylinder electrodes are sunk in the water: a current is generated between the electrodes and this
heats the water to boiling point.
Current intensity (expressed in amperes) varies according to the quantity of in-cylinder water that is
in contact with the electrode surfaces and the conductivity of the water.
The electronic controller measures, via an amperometric transformer, current intensity and controls
the water inlet valve (to raise the water level) or the discharge valve (to lower it) accordingly. This
system is fully automatic.
Combined use of the microprocessor and a humidity sensor also makes it possible to effect
proportional control: this optimizes water and electricity consumption according to required
humidity levels.
In addition to ensuring that the humidifier works properly the discharge pump also empties the
cylinder completely when the unit had been idle for a set time: this prevents limescale or other
particles created during the boiling process from depositing.
The humidifiers in the EASYSTEAM range are fully automatic and require only replacement of the
cylinder when the electrodes are worn.
The diagram below illustrates the operating cycle.
