The kind of packing used is dependent upon the type of unit sup- plied.
4. Function and Assembly The HygroMatik Steam Injection Humidifier comprises 4 basic elements: • Separator • Control valve with or without control operation • Steam Lances • Additional materials There is a stainless steel version Type A and a mixed material version Type C 4.1 Function...
5. Strainer There should be a strainer installed in the steam supply line directly in front of every separator. Only if this is done there is guarantee that no foreign particles enter the humidifier unit. Valve cone and valve face in both the control valve and steam trap are sensitive to fouling.
Separator The stainless steel separator is the essential component for moisture separation. The separator is available as models „20“ and „40“. The separator size is dependent upon the desired steam output and available steam pressure. 6.1 Function Steam flows through the pipe union (1) into the separator. Steam and condensate are separated by the joint action of the inlet pipe (2) and the spiral-shaped flow system.
If equipment made by other manufacturers is used, the customer must check the compatibility with the HygroMatik steam injection humidifier. 7.1 Control Valve The control valve regulates the steam quantity by means of the valve lift.
In order to comply with DIN 32 730*, electrical actuators must feature a fail-safe function so that in the case of power failure the Type Hygromatik E-4111680 control valve is driven to a safe position (fully closed). Pneumatic Actuator Pneumatic Actuators are controlled using compressed air (e.g.
8. Start-up safety switch The function of the start-up safety switch is to ensure that no condensate from the steam network invades the air conditioning duct through the steam lances. Electrical Start-up safety switch With an electrical actuator the supply voltage is looped through the start-up safety switch.
9. Steam Lances In the steam lances (1) dry steam is blown out of specially formed nozzles (2). They are designed for low noise steam emission. The nozzles take steam from the driest area in the steam lance centre. In order to prevent accumulated condensate or aerosol droplets from being transported with the steam, the steam lances are provided with a steam lance heating system (3).
Steam lance piping for multiple steam lances HygroMatik standard supply is for lengths of 118 in (300 mm) und 177 in (450 mm). Distances are approximate and can vary from installation to installation. Piping should be installed for even lance distribution along the duct height.
Installation of a pressure gauge on the steam injection unit ensures immediate detection of pressure drops or fluctuations. The HygroMatik Pressure gauge station consists of a tubular spring pressure gauge (0-6 bar), a T-junction and a dual nipple. The pressure gauge is temperature resistant up to 392° F (200°...
11. Ball Float Steam Trap After separation from the steam inside the separator condensate is drained out through a ball float steam trap. 11.1 Function The discharge valve is controlled by the ball float dependent upon the density of the incoming medium. Starting Position / Air When the unit starts, air present in the system is discharged through the thermostatic air extractor fan.
11.2 Technical Data 11.2.1 KS-Condensate Drain for DDS Type A Screwfitting : 1/2“ external thread Materials: Clip Stainless steel 1.4404 Float Stainless Steel 1.4404 Flange seal Soft seal Adjust. screw Stainless Steel 1.4404 Housing Stainless Steel 1.4404 The KS-Condensate drain for type A is integrated into the sepa- rator.
12. Thermostatic Capsule Steam Trap Condensate that has collected in the steam lance heating sys- tem is discharged through a thermostatic capsule steam trap. 12.1 Function The discharge valve is controlled dependent upon the capsule volume and the temperature and pressure of the incoming medium.
13. Humidification Output The maximum humidification output [lb/h] of a steam injection unit depends upon the available steam pressure in bar. Maximum humidification output can be more than 1697 lb/h (770 kg/h) (Type A) or 1609 lb/h (730 kg/h) (Type C). Maximum oper- ating pressure is pmax = 4 bar.
Page 25
Example: Desired humidification output: 242 lb/h (110 kg/h) Operating pressure, p = 2 bar The length and number of steam lances is determined by the duct dimensions. See Section 9 "Steam Lances". Please note 1 lb = 0.453592 kg 1 kg = 2 lb 3.273962 oz Result: Follow the operating pressure line until the desired humidifica- tion output in kg/h is reached.
Risk of injuries due to improper installation! Installation of this steam injection humidifier may only be accom- plished by qualified personnel. HygroMatik can accept no responsibility for any damage caused by incorrect installation. Please observe all safety and hazard instructions supplied with the steam injection humidifier.
Steam extraction points must lie on the upper side of the pipe surface to prevent condensate being dragged from the pipe. The HYGROMATIK steam injection system must have a filter installed in front of the system. This is delivered with the system or is already installed on-site.
Install a pressure sensor in the ducting and integrate this into the safety chain. The pressure sensor prevents over-humidification of the ducting in the case of a malfunctioning fan. HygroMatik Actuator wiring diagram Circuitry for alternative actuators may be found in the relevant installations documents.
15.4 Separator Separator efficiency may be severely decreased by conden- sate in steam piping! Supply steam fed into the steam humidifier should feature maxi- mum possible dryness. Before making installation ensure that steam piping by design allows for as little condensate as possi- ble (e.g.
Actuator and valve installation positioning When pneumatic actuators are implemented Risk of malfunction! Control air for pneumatic actuators must be free from oil and humidity. 15.6 Pneumatic start-up protection Please note Pneumatic start-up protection is set to 205° F/96° C. This value may only be altered by the manufacturer.
Angle pieces for installation of humidifier/valve unit parallel to ducting walls are available from HygroMatik. In order to reduce the absorbtion distance the steam from the lance should be directed opposed to the air direction in the duct- ing.
