Immersed electrode humidifiers NA
  • General characteristics

    The operation of immersed electrode humidifiers is based on a very simple physical principle. As common drinking water contains a certain quantity of dissolved mineral salts, and is consequently slightly conductive, applying a voltage to metal electrodes immersed in the water creates an electric current that heats the water (Joule effect) until boiling, thus producing steam.
    The quantity of steam produced is proportional to the electric current, which is in turn proportional to the water level.

    Compared to electric heater or gas-fired humidifiers, immersed electrode humidifiers:

    • are less expensive to purchase;
    • operate with drinking water (not completely demineralised or softened);
    • require periodical replacement (or cleaning) of the cylinder;
    • feature modulation suitable for comfort or industrial applications, without extreme requirements.
  • Plus

    • AFS system (Anti Foaming System): detects foam to prevent the release of droplets together with the steam;
    • works on mains water with a conductivity between 75 and 1250 µs/cm, and its control software automatically adjusts operation according to the characteristics of the water, so as to optimise operating life without maintenance.
    • large cylinders galvanised electrodes and anti-scale filter at bottom for extended maintenance-free operation; openable cylinders also available;
    • steam production with continuous modulation from 20% to maximum capacity (10% for models with two cylinders);
    • built-in conductivity sensor and control software to optimise energy efficiency and maintenance costs, with constant performance throughout cylinder life;
    • automatic water drain after 3 days of inactivity
    • choice between three controllers: "Y" (proportional or ON/OFF from external controller and icon display), "X" (modulating with built-in controller based on pCO technology and alphanumeric and graphic display with extended text messages), "W" (similar to "X" but dedicated to steam baths);
    • model "X" manages a limit probe, used to limit the maximum relative humidity at the outlet, avoiding condensate formation in the duct.
