3 Product Overview
3.1 General Description
The Nortec EL steam humidier is an atmospheric steam generator, which operates on the electrode
heating principle. It is designed for direct room humidication using a blower pack, or humidication
through the ducts in an air handling unit using a steam distributor.
The Nortec EL steam humidier has state-of-the-art features. It has an integrated control board which
not only controls the humidier, but also allows the humidier to be connected to a building automation
system (BACnet, Lonworks, Modbus) or the internet so it can be controlled and monitored remotely.
In addition, up to six humidiers (12 cylinders) can be set up in a main-extension conguration using
Condair's Linkup system to satisfy large humidication needs.
The Nortec EL steam humidier comes in three di󰀨erent housing sizes – small, medium and large. The
small and medium size models have a single steam cylinder, while the large model is equipped with
dual steam cylinders. Each steam cylinder has its own dedicated driver board to receive control signal
inputs. The dual driver boards allow the large models to be congured to operate in series, in parallel
or independent mode to control humidity in one or more zones depending on how they are congured.
Figure 1 shows the various components of the Nortec EL steam humidier (door panels removed for clarity).

3.2 Functional Description
Refer to Figure 1 on page 9 and Figure 2 on page 11.
Water Supply
Water enters the humidier through the ll valve into the open ll cup with integral air gap, and then ows
down through the ll hose into the steam cylinder.
Steam Generation
When the humidier receives a signal to supply steam the contactor closes, and after a 60 second delay
the ll valve opens and water enters the bottom of the steam cylinder, as described above.
As soon as the electrodes come in contact with the water, current begins to ow between the electrodes,
generating heat. As the water level continues to rise, more surface of the electrodes come in contact
with the water. This results in more current draw. Once the water has heated to the boiling point, steam
will be produced. (Note: On rst startup when the conductivity level of the water is low, it may take 30-
60 minutes for water to heat su󰀩ciently to produce steam).
When the steam output reaches the requested level, the ll valve closes. As water is evaporated, the
water level and current drop. When the current falls below a certain percentage of the requested level,
the ll valve opens to raise the water level and the current and maintain the required steam output level.
When the actual output is higher than the requested steam output, the ll valve remains closed until
the desired output level is achieved through a gradual lowering of the water level due to evaporation.
Water Level Monitoring
A sensor monitors the high water level in the steam cylinder. When the sensor detects the high water
level, the ll valve closes to prevent over-lling.
Drainage
As the evaporation process continues, the conductivity level of the water increases due to the increasing
levels of residual minerals left behind as the water turns into steam. This a󰀨ects the current draw, which
can rise beyond optimal levels. To prevent this from happening, the Nortec EL's auto-adaptive control
algorithm periodically drains some concentrated water in the cylinder and replaces it with fresh water.
Control
Steam production can be controlled using the continuous proportional (P) or the proportional-integral
(PI) controller internal to the humidier, or an external modulating controller, or with an On/O󰀨 control
signal from an external humidistat.
