Description
ISE steam exchange humidifier is a steam generator that uses
pressurized steam heat exchanger to produce pure and sterile
steam at atmospheric pressure that is distributed in air
handling unit or venlaon duct, or directly into space.
ISE humidifier can be supplied with tap or treated water such
as reverse osmosis water or deionized water without alteraon
or addional required opon.
When tap water is used, the scale will come off the heat-
exchanger by the natural contracon and expansion of its
coiled shape tube . Scale pieces then accumulate at the
boom of the cylinder without the risk of clogging the drain
outlet.
Regular maintenance consists in opening and removing the
cylinder and cleaning the accumulated scale off.
ISE unique & patent pending vercal heat-exchanger allows for
very easy regular maintenance that consists in opening and
removing boom part of the cylinder and cleaning the
accumulated scale off without the need of any tool or
consumable.
Main features
Very accurate +/-1% and constant steam producon whatever water condion.

Installation – step 1
Positioning & Mounting
General guidelines for positioning
ISE steam exchange humidifier should be posioned so that:
Length of the steam line (or hose) is as short as possible,
In case steam hose is used, the bend radius of 12in (300mm) is ensured
Humidifier is easily accessible for service
CAUTION. Risk of malfuncon due to vibraon. Do Not mount ISE steam exchange
humidifier directly on venlaon duct.
CAUTION. Risk of flooding. Ensure that the local where ISE steam exchange
humidifier will be installed is equipped with floor drain.
In case of no floor drain is available; installaon of a water leak detector is required
in order to prevent any flooding in case of abnormal operaon or service.
ISE steam exchange humidifier should be installed in a well-venlated and dry environment.
If local is subject to below freezing point temperature, acvaon of ant freezing funcon of
the ISE steam exchange humidifier is required.
For outdoor installaon please contact your steamOvap representave to order and install
special outdoor oponal enclosure for IER.
ISE maximum ambient condions:
Temperature: 41°F to 113°F [+5 to +45°C]
Relave Humidity: 90%RH max (non condensing)
Ingress Protecon for ISE standard enclosure: IP20

Clearance guidelines
There is no minimum clearance on le side of the ISE steam exchange humidifier, but it is a
good pracce to have a clearance of 4 to 8 in [100 to 200mm] for ease of installaon and
service.
Right side clearance of 36in (900mm) minimum is required to the steam exchanger
connecon to steam supply and condensate return piping.
In case of a 2 modules ISE [model ISE400] same clearance, 36in [900mm], is required on both
side of the ISE humidifier.
Allow a minimum clearance of 24in [610mm] with floor to allow for proper drain slope and
drain pipe column.
Top clearance is required of 12in [300mm] for access and proper steam connecon
Front clearance of 30in [762mm] is required for access to the ISE steam exchange humidifier

General guidelines for Mounting
CAUTION. Risk of malfuncon. ISE steam exchange humidifier must be levelled
in X & Z axis.
Installaon on wall, with mounng bracket
1. Verify that wall structure and strength is appropriate to support the operang weight
of the ISE steam exchange humidifier.
In case that wall is not solid enough to support operang weight of ISE humidifier,
install it on a floor stand (FS opon is available to your steamOvap representave).
2. Mark the wall or support according as per below drawing, Drill holes to the wall or
support to aach the mounng bracket to the wall as per the size of anchors and/or
screws.
Distance between the 2 holes in Mounng bracket is 15in [381mm] for ISE30 to ISE200
36-1/2in [913mm] for ISE400
3. Use anchors of sufficient size (at least 3/8in [9m]). Install the mounng bracket to the
wall or support.
Ensure that the mounng bracket is properly levelled.
4. With front cover removed, hung the ISE humidifier onto the mounng bracket.
5. Install the 2 supplied screws to avoid the ISE steam exchange humidifier to move up
from the mounng bracket.
Installaon on Floor Stand (opon FS)
1. Ensure that the floor structure and strength is appropriate to support the operang
weight of the ISE humidifier.
2. Aach the floor stand to the floor or structure to avoid any movement of the ISE
humidifier.
You can use bolt or screws to aach this one to surrounding structure or to the floor.
3. Install Humidifier (with front cover removed) hung the ISE humidifier onto the FS floor
stand and secure it with supplied bolts.
4. Re-install the front cover to the humidifier.

Water supply installation
Water supply specification & quality:
Water supply pressure: 15 to 80PSI [1 to 5bar]
Water supply temperature: 37 to 105°F [3 to 40°C]
ISE steam exchange humidifier can accept a wide range of water quality.
Untreated water will lead to scale deposits that will need to be regularly removed from steam
chamber.
Use of addives such as scale inhibitor or corrosion inhibitors, disinfectants or other can
impair the normal operaon of the humidifier and are not allowed.
Water supply conducvity: 1 to 1500µS/cm
Water supply hardness: 0 to 16grains/gallon [0 to 15°gH][268mg CaCO3/l]
Water supply PH: 6.5 to 7.5

1. Ensure that an Open drain with a P-trap is installed offset from the ISE humidifier.
IMPORTANT: Risk of malfuncon. A minimum slope angle of 5 degree of the drain
hose or pipe and a minimum length of 12in [30cm] must be provided between the
drain outlet of the ISE humidifier and the open drain inlet.
A minimum of 18in [45cm] vercal run before P trap or obstrucon must be provided
2. If required, install a connecon sleeve 1-1/4 [32mm] at the drain outlet of the ISE

Pressurized steam & condensate
installation
Pressurized steam supply piping must conform to local codes and regulaons.
Risk of damage to ISE humidifier. Steam piping should be supported to avoid stress to
steam components and/or ISE humidifier heat exchanger.
Pipes should be free from dirt.
Pressurized steam line installaon should be performed by a qualified installer.

Figure 13 – Pressurized steam & condensate connecon
Pressurized steam installation:
ISE humidifier heat exchanger is designed for a maximum steam pressure of 15PSI (105kPa).
Pressurized steam line must be sized to provide design pressure and flow at the CV valve at
full output. Pressure losses in the steam supply line will reduce ISE pure steam capacity.
Actuated steam control valve should be lted to reduce the heat transfer from steam pipe to
the electric actuator. Please refer to below illustraon.
It is a good pracce to install the following components:
•Strainer (supplied) and a manual shut-off valve upstream to the control valve .
•Manual shut-off valve and pressure gauge (by others) upstream to the actuated
control valve.
•Vacuum breaker (by others) between actuated control valve and ISE heat exchanger
inlet and at any high point of the pressurized steam piping
•nipple and union (by others) to the inlet and outlet of the ISE heat exchanger for ease
of service.
