AxAir NORTEC is a world leader in state-of-the-art
humidification technology. Our focus is concentrated
exclusively on designing and building better
humidification systems.
MES Electrode Steam Humidifiers employ the most
advanced technology yet devised to reliably maintain
interior environments at critical humidity levels. They
provide the best of both worlds — top quality design
and construction, with economy of installation and
operation.
Every NORTEC MES model has been engineered
to meet the highest standards of cost-effective,
efficient performance. They are designed for ease
of installation, adaptability, simplicity of operation,
ease of maintenance and servicing, energy efficiency,
cleanliness and long-term reliability.

Precise control
MES installations handle the most demanding
challenges. Each unit is controlled by its
own integral electronics. Just preset your
humidification requirements.
Economy
Unlike older systems that are often difficult and
costly to maintain, the MES electrode steam
system produces pure, uncontaminated moisture
to protect sensitive equipment and the people
using it. There are no heating elements to get
coated with mineral deposits and sludge.
Any water-borne impurities are removed at the
electrodes and deposited in a replaceable cylinder
where they are periodically flushed out through
the automatic cylinder drain. Solid mineral
scale sinks to the bottom of the cylinder which,
when filled with residue, is easily discarded and
replaced.
Installation Flexibility
MES Series humidifiers offer unprecedented
installation flexibility. They can be configured for
both small and large systems and are ideal in
computer room and specialty air handling systems.
Steam distribution is easily accomplished through
the air handler duct system.
