Steam humidifier with advanced scale management system
Scale falls into the scale collector tank and is easily removed by in-house maintenance staff.
A "cold water pool" prevents scale from forming over the water inlet or drain, further enabling long intervals between servicing
Cleanable stainless steel boiling cylinder avoids the expense of disposable plastic cylinders
The Condair RS is available with an IP55 rated cabinet for outdoor installation. It can be wall-mounted or free-standing and is suitable for conditions ranging from -20°C to 40°C.
The latest touch screen technology provides intuitive control and advanced reporting
The Condair RS is available with a single cylinder for outputs up to 40kg/h and double cylinder for outputs up to 80kg/h. Master/slave configurations provide up to 160kg/h.
As well as in-duct humidification, the Condair RS can deliver up to 40kg/h directly to a room's atmosphere with a top or remotely mounted fan unit
An optional touch screen control panel, which is connected to the main unit with RJ45 cable, provides remote monitoring and operational control
Condair RS resistive steam humidifier
This electric steam humidifier delivers accurate humidity control without the expense of plastic disposable boiling cylinders and simplifies maintenance with its patented scale management system.
Scale that forms on the heating elements breaks off under normal operation and falls into the externally located scale collector tank. Scale removal is a simple process of draining the scale collector tank with the push of a button, allowing the unit to cool then disconnecting the tank and emptying it.
The Condair RS can operate with mains water to provide ±3%RH control or on reverse osmosis (RO) water to offer ±1%RH control. When operating on RO water, scale build-up is virtually eliminated, significantly reducing the unit's required maintenance.
By locating the water inlet and drain between the twin walls of the outer cylinder wall and an inner cylinder liner, the temperature is kept at a level that inhibits scale formation in this area. This "cold water pool" prevents blockages of the inlet and drain by scale to further enable extended periods between servicing.
An advanced touch screen controller provides intuitive control over operation and very detailed reporting, including downloading performance, fault and service history into Excel for advanced diagnostics. BMS connectivity is standard with BACnet and Modbus protocols, with optional LonWorks connectivity.
Condair Outdoor unit
Condair has extended its range of electric steam humidifiers to include new IP55 rated models suitable for outdoor installation. The robust enclosures on the Condair RS resistive steam and Condair EL electrode boiler steam humidifiers enable the units to be located on rooftops and exposed to the elements.
Rather than simply installing the standard humidifiers inside a protective housing on a rooftop, the new outdoor humidifiers from Condair have purpose-built IP55-rated casings. This means they take up much less room on a rooftop and are easier to install. Condair’s new outdoor humidifiers are the most compact in the industry with the smallest footprint and incorporate lifting handles to make on-site transportation easier.
The enclosures incorporate a thermostat-controlled heater and fan unit to maintain the internal temperature at an optimum level with outside ambient conditions ranging from -20° to 40°C. An anti-freeze valve will ensure the humidifier completely drains should the unit experience temperatures of less than 6°C during periods of in-operation.
The new Condair outdoor humidifiers can be wall-mounted, allowing them to be attached to an AHU, or free-standing. Lockable doors are removable for easy access and optional internal lighting improves visibility for servicing and maintenance.
