Functional description The steam humidifier Nordmann AT4 is a pressureless steam generator that utilizes an electrode heating. The steam humidifier Nordmann AT4 is designed for air humidification via a steam distributor (steam distribution pipe, fan unit or steam distribution system MultiPipe).

Upon reaching the requested steam capacity, the inlet valve closes. If the steam generation decreases below a certain percentage of the required capacity, due to lowering of the water level (e.g. because of the evapora tion process or drainage), the inlet valve opens until the required capacity is available again.

3.7.2.2 MultiPipe steam distribution system The MultiPipe steam distribution system is used in ventilation ducts with a short humidification distance (for the calculation of the humidification dis tance refer to chapter 5.4.2). When ordering an MultiPipe system the duct dimension must be specified. Please consult the data in the following table. MultiPipe Number of steam Max.

5.4.2 Positioning of the steam distribution pipes The location for the steam distribution pipes should be determined at the time of dimensioning the air conditioning system. Please note the following instructions to ensure proper humidification of the duct air. Calculating the humidification distance The water vapour, emitting from the steam distribution pipes, requires a certain distance to be absorbed by the ambient air so that it is no longer visible as steam.
Page 36
MultiPipe must be used. If this is the case, contact your Nordmann supplier. Minimum distances to be observed To prevent the water vapour, that is emitting from the steam distribution pipe, from condensing on downstream system components, a minimum distance to the steam distribution pipe must be observed (depends on the humidifi...
