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 can it be guaranteed that there are no foreign particles in the humidifier unit. Valve cone and valve face in both the control valve and steam trap are sensitive to fouling.
6. Separator The stainless steel separator is the essential component for moisture separation. The separator is available in versions 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.
As a general rule the customer is free to use any typical control valve which is approved for steam control. Standard are the Spirax-Sarco Valves from HygroMatik. Alterna- tive suppliers can be listed on application. Spirax-Sarco control valves Type LE33; KE63 Flanged Kvs-value [m³/h]...
In order to comply with DIN 32 730* an electrical actuator must have a fail-safe function so that in the case of a power failure the Type Hygromatik B-4115001 control valve is reset into a safe position (fully closed). Pneumatic Actuator Pneumatic Actuators are controlled using compressed air (e.g.
8. Start-up safety switch The start-up safety switch ensures that no condensate from the steam network has entered the air conditioning duct over the steaml 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 300 mm und 450 mm. Distances are approximate and can vary from installa- tion 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 an up to 200°C temperature-tested, tubular spring pressure gauge (0- 6bar), a T-junction and a dual nipple.
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.

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 [kg/h] of one steam injection unit depends upon the available steam pressure in bar. Maximum humidification output can be over 700 kg/h and oper- ating pressure of pmax = 4 bar. 13.1 Output Graphs The following graphs serve as an aid to determining the neces- sary Kvs-Values for the control valve, a given steam pressure and a desired humidification output.
Page 24
Example: Desired humidification output: 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". Result: Follow the operating pressure line until the desired humidifica- tion output in kg/h is reached.
Matik steam injection humidifier in a safe and proper manner. Warning: this steam injection humidifier may only be installed 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.
Dimension the on-site steam connections (insulated) so that a steam velocity of 25 m/s is not exceeded. HygroMatik recommends the installation of a shut-off valve in front of the steam injection system in order to facilitate any necessary maintenance work.
2 - 3 m behind the humidifier in the ducting. Install a pressure sensor in the ducting and integrate this into the safety chain. The pressure sensor prevents an over-humidifica- tion of the ducting in the case of a malfunctioning fan. HygroMatik Actuator wiring diagram Actuator B-4115001 Electrical Start-up...
15.3 Separators Warning: Before installation, check out the steam supply piping. It must be established that the steam humidifier is supplied with as dry a steam as possible (steam with as little condensate as possible). Steam pressure at the separator entry point must not exceed 4 bar.
15.4 Control Valve and Actuator If the valve is on site then the necessary connections between valve and separator are fitted. All other parts are delivered sep- arately (e.g. connection bolts and flange seals). Only actuators which are suitable and certified for steam regula- tion may be used.
15.5 Pneumatic Start-up safety feature Note: Pneumatic start-up safety is set at 96°C. This value can be altered only by the manufacturer. First install a T-piece with a 1/2" exit in the condensate piping in front of the condensate drain. A T-piece with a 1/8"...
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.
