1. How The Elite Steam Works

1.1 Basic Operation

Elite Steam is an electrode humidifier. It produces steam for humidification by passing electric current through the water between metal electrodes in the plastic steam generator cylinder. 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.

On a call for humidity, the Elite Steam controller will open the water fill valve (1) and allow water to enter the cylinder. A flow restrictor (2) prevents the unit from filling too quickly or with too much pressure. The water flows up the fill tube (3) and into the fill cup (7). Water then flows over the dam in the fill cup (7), which creates a 1” air gap to

prevent backflow of contaminated water into the feed lines, and through the fill tube (4) and into the bottom of the steam cylinder (11). Any backflow or overflow of water travels through the overflow hose (5) to the drain.

As the water fills the cylinder, it will reach the electrodes (10) and current will begin to flow. As the water continues to fill the cylinder, the current will increase, and this is monitored by an amperage transformer connected to one of the power wires (9)

and located on the electronic controller. When the desired current is reached, the fill valve will close (1) and the water will then begin to warm and produce steam. If the water reaches the cylinder full probes (8) prior to reaching the desired current rises too much as the water fills the cylinder, the drain valve (13) will be activated to drain away some water and reduce the current flow to acceptable levels. Note that, any time the drain valve is activated, the tempering valve (14) will be opened for tempering the hot drained water down to 140 degrees F/ 60 degrees C in accordance to local and national standards.

Periodically, based on the incoming water conductivity, the unit will open the drain valve (13) and drain some water to reduce the mineral concentration. Every 120 hours the unit automatically drains to remove mineral sediment on the bottom of the cylinder. A strainer (12) in the cylinder helps to prevent mineral debris from jamming the drain valve (13). In case Elite Steam remains powered but idle, i.e. without producing steam, for more than 72 hours (3 days), the cylinder will be emptied to not have stagnant water inside.

If there is no water in the cylinder, there will be no current flow and no steam production. The electrodes do not burn out, but they will eventually become completely coated with mineral and the cylinder will then need to be replaced. Cleaning cylinders may cause electrode damage, therefore voiding its warranty. See 7.2.2 maintenance section on page 21.

1.2 Cylinder Life

1.2.1 Basics of the Steam Cylinder The Steam Cylinder is the engine of the humidifier. As the humidifier operates and water is evaporated and minerals are left behind. Much of these minerals are removed through the cylinder drain. Some are deposited on the walls of the cylinder and the cylinder electrodes. When a lower section of the electrodes develop a thick coating, the water level is raised to expose clean electrode surface. Eventually minerals cover the electrodes’ entire length with a thick coating and little electrical current can pass between them resulting in poor steam output. The humidifier can sense the low amperage and will display the E6 Cylinder Exhausted error code. There are several factors that influence cylinder life.

1.2.2 Water Characteristics of water influence cylinder life and can vary greatly from place to place. Total mineral content of the water is

important. Equally important is what minerals are present in the water. Most water conditions result in flakey scale that eventually fills the bottom of the cylinder until it can no longer function. Water with high silica content can result in a thin glass-like coating on the electrodes that is highly insulating resulting in shorter cylinder life. Only cold water is to be used

1.2.3 Water Filtration Typically additional filtration of the incoming water supply is not necessary. If, however, mineral content is known to reduce cylinder life excessively or if cylinder life proves insufficient then water filtration can be added. In most cases the addition of a two element water filter can improve cylinder life. The filter should contain an activated carbon element and a particulate filter element rated for 5 microns or less. Micron is a size measurement. The filter system should have a flow rate of at least 2 gpm. The activated carbon will absorb much of the mineral content while the particulate filter will catch any granular material

or sediment. It is important to remember that the increase in cylinder life will be accompanied by the need to replace filter

elements with each cylinder change.

1.2.4 Humidity Load and Cylinder Life

Humidity load demands have an effect on cylinder life. Normal installations where humidity capacity is properly sized require only intermittent periods where full humidifier capacity is required. This allows the water level in the cylinder to be increased only as electrode segments become insulated. This tends to maximize cylinder life.

Extraordinary installations that require constant operation at full capacity reduce cylinder life. The water level in the cylinder is, on average, much higher, and the electrodes become completely insulated more quickly. Installations like this may result in cylinder life of less than 1000 hours.

The importance of providing adequate humidifier capacity should not be underestimated.

1.2.5 Maximum Production

Another factor affecting cylinder life is the maximum production setting. A higher production rate will result in a shorter cylinder life. For this reason DS-35 and RS-35 units are preset from the factory at 70%. Further reductions in Maximum Production will extend cylinder life. See Figure 1.c.

Figure.1.c

1.2.6 Structures Under Construction In high end construction projects, humidification is often required while the structure is being finished. Humidification is necessary to protect and stabilize wood floors, trim and decoration. Humidification load, however, in an unfinished structure may be five to eight times higher than when finished. Elite Steam humidifiers may be operated while construction is underway but, reduced cylinder life is to be expected and budgeted for. Good practice dictates that the steam cylinders also be replaced once the project is complete.

3.4.1 Duct Distribution If a duct steam distribution nozzle is to be used, select an accessible location on supply or return duct, allowing at least 36” of straight duct (no elbows or obstructions) after the point where the nozzle will be installed and the clearances can be maintained as per the previous drawings. See Fig.3.j To mount the steam nozzle, cut or drill a 2-1/2” hole in the duct. Apply caulk to the to the mounting plate of the nozzle. Attach the nozzle to the duct using 4 #10 sheet metal screws (supplied). Nozzle must be level or vertical with condensate outlet to the bottom.

IMPORTANT: Allow 1 M ( 3 feet ) of straight duct downstream of the distributor pipes and nozzles for absorption of the steam. Always allow 0.6M (2 feet) of straight duct upstream of the distributor pipes for evaporation of the steam. Turbulent air flow may require longer lengths.

Optional Stainless Steel Duct Distributor Pipe:

Fig. 3.k

To install the distributor pipe:

30 mmX= 3” 40mmX=3.9”

1. Cut a round hole in the side of the duct to match the steam pipe and condensate return. . Apply silicone sealant to the mounting plate and insert the pipe through the hole and secure it with sheet metal screws. See Fig.3.k

3. Connect the steam and condensate hoses using the hose clamps supplied.

(Note: End support bracket supplied only with 0,9m (36”) and longer distributors.)

3.4.2 Return Condensate Connection

The return condensate hose from the nozzle, etc. must be trapped. Coil the hose into a vertical loop and secure it below the nozzle, etc. This trap prevents steam from being released into the cabinet. The hose end may be run through the knockout at the top of the humidifier and be inserted into the hole located on top of the fill cup. The hole may be enlarged to suit. See Fig.3.l.

3.4.3 Steam Hoses

IMPORTANT WARNING: 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 uphill, and condensate naturally flows downhill. Run the steam hose or piping to avoid any kinks, sharp elbows, or low spots that could collect to restrict the flow of steam to the distributor pipe, or the flow of condensate back to the humidifier. Support the hose adequately to avoid sags, steam hose can droop after serveral years' service.

The following diagrams are to provide you with some guidelines. If you have a situation you are unsure of, please contact technical support for instructions.

3.6 Control wiring

Elite Steam allows connection of any simple or automatic humidistat, and safety devices such as high-limit humidistat, air flow proving switch, and remote on/off.

The humidiﬁer is operated by the closing of a mechanical humidistat H, or by the closing of a voltage-free remote contact CR, or alternatively by a combination of both. The

most common is a combination of a humidistat and pressure switch. The diagrams

in the figures show the connections to be made on the terminal block, in case of : Fig. 3.t Operation controlled by an external mechanical humidistat; Fig. 3.u Operation performed by a simple enabling contact; Fig. 3.v A combination of both humidistat and pressure switch (most common).

Contact AB-AB:

• closed: humidiﬁer enabled to produce steam

(production starts when humidistat closes);

• open: steam production is immediately stopped.

The remote on/off contact is usually a series of external potential-free contacts

that enable the humidiﬁer to produce steam when all of them are closed, indicating the

duct/AHU is ready to accept steam. Connect the 12500 Pressure Switch NO and C terminals to the AB-AB contacts.

For example,

• fan contact closes when fan is running;

• downstream cooling coil contact closes when coil is off;

• etc.

Contact IN-GND:

• closed: steam production starts if contact AB-AB is closed

• open: steam production is stopped after 5 sec.

2. Do not connect power if the humidiﬁer is damaged or even partially wet!

When installation is completed, ﬂush the supply pipe for around 10 minutes by piping water directly into the drain, without sending it into the humidiﬁer; this will eliminate any scale or residues that may cause

foam when boiling.

4.1 Startup Checklist

Before starting the humidiﬁer, the following should be checked:

• Water is connected, the line has been ﬂushed, and external valves are open.

• Drain is connected, run to an open drain, and has a trap under the unit.

• Electricity is connected in accordance with instructions, local codes and data labels in the unit.

• The power fuses are installed and intact.

• All control wiring is done and tested.

• Airﬂow switch is wired to open on air ﬂow loss.

• Hi-limit humidistat is wired to open on humidity rise above set point.

• Unit wires have been checked to make sure they and all connectors are tight from shipping.

• The steam hose(s) are run correctly with no sags or kinks and sloped properly according to the manual.

• Condensate hoses are run correctly with no sags or kinks and sloped properly according to the manual.

7.1 Periodic checks

• After one hour of operation: Check that there are no signiﬁcant water leaks.

• Every ﬁfteen days or no more than 300 operating hours: Check operation, that there are no significant water leaks and the general condition of the cylinder. Check that during operation there is no arcing between the electrodes.

• Every three months or no more than 1000 operating hours: Check operation, that there are no significant water leaks and, if necessary, replace the cylinder. Check that there are no blackened parts of the cylinder. If there are blackened parts of the cylinder, check the condition of the electrodes, and if necessary replace the cylinder.

• Annually or no more than 2500 operating hours: Replace the cylinder.

CAUTION: ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE MAIN POWER BEFORE DOING MAINTENANCE! CAUTION: always disconnect the main power before touching the cylinder in the event of leaks, as current may flow through the water.

7.2 Cylinder maintenance

The life of the cylinder depends on a number of factors, including: the amount and type of minerals in the water, the correct use and sizing of the humidiﬁer, and the output, as well as careful and regular maintenance. Another factor affecting cylinder life is Maximum Production, the higher the production rate the shorter the cylinder life; for this reason the DS-35 and RS-35 are preset from the factory at 70%. Further reductions in maximum production will extend cylinder life. See figure 7.a

IMPORTANT WARNINGS

The humidiﬁer and its cylinder contain live electrical components and hot surfaces, and therefore all

service and/or maintenance operations must be performed by expert and qualiﬁed personnel, who are aware of the necessary precautions. Before performing any operations on the cylinder, check that the humidiﬁer is disconnected from the power supply. Remove the cylinder from the humidiﬁer only after having drained it completely using the manual “drain” button or procedure. Check that the model and the power supply voltage of the new cylinder correspond to the data on the rating label.

7.2.2 Maintenance of the other plumbing components

IMPORTANT WARNINGS:

• External power must always be disconnected when performing any maintenance on the humidiﬁer.

• When cleaning the plastic components do not use detergents or solvents;

• Scale can be removed using a solution by using vinegar or a weak solution of acetic acid and a soft brush; then rinse the cylinder thoroughly with fresh water.

Cleaning the ﬁll valve:

After having disconnected the cables and the hoses, remove the valve and check the condition of the inlet ﬁlter; clean if necessary using the same cleaning solution as for the steam cylinder and a soft brush. Cleaning the drain valve:

Remove the valve body, clean if necessary using the same cleaning solution as for the steam cylinder and a soft brush.

Cleaning the drain pan:

Clean the pan of any mineral deposits and check that the water ﬂows freely from the pan to the drain at the drain valve.

Cleaning the supply, ﬁll, overﬂow pipes: Check that these are clear and clean or replace if necessary.
