    compactSteam 1. How The compactSteam Works compactSteam 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.

    compactSteam 2. Models There are two basic models for steam distribution: Duct Injection Direct Room Discharge Fig. 2.a Fig. 2.b compactSteam comes in two voltages and five capacities: CH m ss c v xx r CH means CompactSteam Humidifier and is a fixed field m = model: 0 for Duct Injection, F for Direct Room Discharge ss = nominal steam flow in kg/h (read table on page 14 for the complete list of nominal steam flow) c = control type...
  • Page 9: Installation

    compactSteam 3. Installation 3.1 Positioning The compactSteam 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.

  • Page 13 compactSteam 3.4.2 Steam Hoses NINETY PERCENT (90%) OF ALL OPERATION PROBLEMS ARE CREATED BY IMPROPER STEAM PIPING FROM THE HUMIDIFIER UNIT TO THE DUCT DISTRIBUTOR PIPES. To avoid these problems, remember one simple fact when running the steam hose: steam naturally flows up hill, and condensate naturally flows down hill.

    compactSteam 3.5 Power wiring Check that the power supply voltage to be connected matches the value indicated on the rating plate inside the electrical panel. Insert the power and ground connection cables into the electrical panel compartment using the strain reliefs supplied, and connect to the terminals. An external fused disconnect must be installed.
