Notes on electrode steam humidification

Observe water quality!

D1: Range below the operating limit
C1: Range of low conductivity
A:    Range of normal conductivity
B:    Range of increased conductivity
C2: Range of high conductivity
D2: Range above the operating limit

Avoid condensation as far as possible and minimise counterpressure!

  • Few deflections
  • Make wide bends
  • Appropriately large pipe cross-sections
  • Short hoses
  • Insulated fixed piping is preferred
  • Steam pipes should be laid with a gradient of 5 - 10%

Notes on heater type steam humidification

Observe water quality!

  • Ideal demineralised water or at least softened
  • Conductivity > 3 µS/cm
  • Low total hardness

Notes on gas steam humidification

Observe water quality!

  • Ideal demineralised water or at least softened
  • Conductivity > 3 µS/cm
  • Low total hardness

Notes on the spray nozzle system

Observe water quality!

  • Demineralised 5 to 50 µS/cm
  • Optimum temperature < 15 °C
  • Dynamic flow pressure > 1 bar,
    optimal > 2 bar

Air flow between 1.0 - 2.8 m/s input conditions!

  • If possible, use enthalpy control
  • The higher the inlet temperature and the lower the outlet humidity, the higher the efficiency
