Page 5: How The Elite Steam Works
1. How The Elite Steam Works Elite Steam is an electrode humidifier. It produces steam for humidification by passing electric current through the water in the steam plastic generator cylinder between metal electrodes. There are no heating elements. Steam output is directly proportional to the conductivity of the water, and the amount of electrode immersed in the water. -

Models There are two basic models for steam distribution: Duct Injection Direct Room Discharge Fig. 2.a Fig. 2.b Elite Steam comes in two capacities and voltages: DS35 Duct Steam Injection, 35 gallons per day, (12 Lbs per hour), 220-240V.

Page 7: Installation
3. Installation 3.1 Positioning The Elite Steam has been designed for wall mounting and, since it is an atmospheric steam humidifier, should be placed close to the point where the steam will be used, to minimize the steam hose length (and the amount of condensate). Certain clearances must be maintained around the unit for safety and maintenance. Duct Injection 6”... -

To avoid these problems, remember one simple fact when running the steam hose: steam naturally flows up hill, and condensate naturally flows down hill.
