1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 Description The KT series is a range of immersed electrode humidifiers by ELSTEAM. The humidifiers in the KT series generate humidity (steam) when a current is applied to two or more electrodes immersed in tap water,causingthewatertoboil. Thesteamiscontrolledbymodulatingtheintensityofthecurrenttransferredtothewaterbytheimmersedelectrodes,soby indirectly controlling the boiling water.
