Page 7: How The Humisteam Works
Installation, Operating & Maintenance Manual How the HumiSteam Works HumiSteam is an electrode humidifier. It produces steam for humidification by passing electrode current through the water in the steam generator cylinder between metal electrodes. There are no heater elements. Steam output is directly proportional to the conductivity of the water, and the amount of electrode immersed in the water. -
