Electro steam humidifier
The notes compiled here represent only a part of the requirements specified by the manufacturer and
are intended to provide an overview of the key requirements. Careful consideration of the
manufacturer's operating instructions is mandatory.
Water quality
• Use drinking water without chemical additives.
• Max. 40 °C.
• The limits with regard to electrical conduction must be observed.
Fresh water pressure
If applicable, permissible water supply pressure: 1 to 10 bar.
Connection to the fresh water system
When connecting to the fresh water system, provide a pipe disconnector on site in accordance with
EN 1717.
Hygrostat
Use the following as a guideline: Position hygrostat at least 5 x length of the humidification section
away. The greatest possible distance should be aimed for. If the hygrostat is positioned unfavorably,
the maximum required steam output may be exceeded. This can cause subsequent components to
become soaked.
Steam generator assembly
The rear wall of the steam generator can heat up to 70 °C.
The steam generator must be mounted vertically and horizontally plumb.
Steam generator tubing
• Install hoses with a steady slope or gradient of 5-10%.
• Avoid sagging or kinking of the hoses.
• Fixed piping is recommended.
• Keep steam hoses as short as possible.
– For lengths > 5 m, insulation of the steam hoses is recommended to minimize
condensate losses.
– Insulation is mandatory from 10 m in length.
• Observe minimum bending radii.
• Observe installation types of the condensate hose routing depending on the installation
positions of steam lances and steam generators.
• Use condensate hose with a loop as a vapor barrier.
Assembly of steam lances
• All steam lances must be mounted horizontally.
• Install close to the steam generator to minimize steam losses due to condensation.
