The steam humidier Nordmann AT4 is a pressureless steam generator
that utilizes an electrode heating. The steam humidier Nordmann AT4 is
designed for air humidication via a steam distributor (steam distribution
pipe, fan unit or steam distribution system MultiPipe).

Steam generation
Any time steam is requested, the electrodes are supplied with voltage via
main contactor. Simultaneously, the inlet valve opens and water enters the
steam cylinder from the bottom via water cup and supply line. As soon as the
electrodes come in contact with the water, current begins to ow between
the electrodes, eventually heating and evaporating the water. The more the
electrode surface is exposed to water, the higher is the current consumption
and thus the steam capacity.
11
Upon reaching the requested steam capacity, the inlet valve closes. If the
steam generation decreases below a certain percentage of the required
capacity, due to lowering of the water level (e.g. because of the evapora
tion process or drainage), the inlet valve opens until the required capacity
is available again.
If the required steam capacity is lower than the actual output, the inlet valve
is closed until the desired capacity is achieved by lowering of the water level
(evaporation process).
Level monitoring
A sensor provided in the steam cylinder cover detects when the water level
gets too high. The moment the sensor comes in contact with water, the
inlet valve closes.
Drainage
As a result of the evaporation process, the conductivity of the water increases
due to an escalating mineral concentration. Eventually, an inadmissibly high
current consumption would take place if this concentration process were
permitted to continue. To prevent this concentration from reaching a value,
unsuitably high for the operation, a certain amount of water is perio dically
drained from the cylinder and replaced by fresh water.
Lime management
The interval controlled SC pump blows air into the steam cylinder. Thus
keeping the solved minerals in the water in motion so they are discharged
with the automatic drain cycles.
Control
The steam production can be controlled with the internal or an external
continuous controller or an external humidistat (24 VDC On/Off control).

3.7.2.3 Fan units FAN4 N...
The fan units FAN4 N... – in combination with the steam humidiers Nor
dmann AT4 – are used for direct room humidication. The fan units FAN4 N S D and FAN4 N M D are mounted directly on the humidier. The fan
units FAN4 N S W, FAN4 N M W und FAN4 N L W are mounted separately
above the humidier to the wall.
The type and number of fan units are dependent on the steam capacity
and on the type of the humidier and can be gathered from the table in
chapter 3.7.1.
Note: Further information on the fan units FAN4... can be found in the sepa
rate manual supplied with the fan unit.
Important note regarding the IP protection class: If a Nordmann AT4
with fan unit FAN4 N... shall be operated without the fan unit at a later date
(e.g. retrotting for duct humidication) the open bores in the housing ceil
ing must be sealed with plugs, otherwise the protection class IP21 is not
assured anymore.

4 Notes for the planning engineer
4.1 Selecting the unit version
To select the unit version the following planning steps are required:
1. Calculating the required maximum steam capacity according chapter
4.1.1
2. Selecting the unit version from the table in chapter 4.1.2
4.1.1 Calculating the maximum required steam capacity
The maximum required steam capacity must be calculated based on one
of the following formulas:
V • ρ
mD = • (x2 - x1)
1000
mD: maximum steam demand in kg/h
V: volume of supply air portion per hour in m3/h (for indirect room humidi
cation) or room volume to be humidied per hour in m3/h (for direct
room humidication)
ρ: specic gravity of air in kg/m
ε: specic volume of air in m3/kg
x2: desired absolute room air humidity in g/kg
x1: minimum absolute supply air humidity in g/kg
The values for ρ, ε, x
Carrier-Diagram for moist air respectively.
Important notes:
– The required maximum steam capacity depends on the specic ap
plication and the installation. The calculated steam capacity based on
the above formulas, the h,x diagram and the condition of the air to be
humidied does not consider any steam loss (e.g. due to condensation
in the steam hoses and the steam distributors), any heat loss of the unit
as well as any absorption or release of humidity of materials located in
the room being humidi ed.
In addition, the calculated steam capacity does not consider any losses
caused by the draining rate depending on the water quality as well as
any losses occur if the steam humidier is operated on a mains circuit
with a ground fault circuit interrupter.
and x1 can be gathered from the h,x-diagram or the
2
or
3
V
mD = • (x2 - x1)
1000 • ε
The total amount of losses depends on the entire system and must be
taken into consideration when calculating the required steam capacity. If
you have any questions regarding the calculation of the steam capacity
please contact your Nordmann supplier.
– For systems where the max. required steam capacity varies extensively
(e.g. for test facilities or for systems with variable air volume ow, etc.),
please contact your Nordmann supplier.

4.3 Selecting the control system
The various control systems
– System 1: Room humidity control
System 1 is suited for direct room humidication and air condition-ing systems with mainly recirculated air. The humidity sensor or
humidistat respectively is preferably located in the room itself or in the
exhaust air duct.
PII Internal P/PI controller
PIE External continuous controller
(e.g. PI controller)
Y input signal from A1
AT4
– System 2: Room humidity control with continuous limitation of the
supply air humidity
System 2 is suited for air conditioning systems with a large portion of
supply air, low supply air temperature, post-humidication, or vari-
able airow volume
. If the supply air hum idity exceeds the preset value,
the continuous limitation is effected prior to the room hum idity control.
The humidity sensor (A1) is preferably located in the exhaust air duct
or in the room itself. The humidity sensor (A2) for the limitation of the
supply air humidity is located in the supply air duct after the steam dis
tribution pipe. This control system requires a continuous controller with
the option to connect a second humidity sensor.
Attention! The continuous limitation of the supply air humidity is no
substitute for the safety humi distat.

– System 3: Supply air humidity control with continuous output limit-
ation
Supply air humidity control (humidity sensor installed in supply
air duct) should be used only where room humidity control is
impracticable for technical reasons. Such systems always require
a PIcontroller.
The humidity sensor (A1) is located in the supply air duct after the steam
distribution pipe. The humidity sensor (A2) for the continuous output
limitation is located in the supply air duct before the steam distribution
pipe. Such a system requires a PIcontroller with the option to connect
a second humidity sensor.

The installation site of the steam humidier depends largely on the location
of the steam distributor (see chapter 5.4). To ensure proper functioning
of the steam humidier and to obtain an optimal efciency, the following
points must be considered and observed when choosing the location for
the steam humidier:
– Install the steam humidier so that the length of the steam hose is kept
as short as possible (max. 4 m) and that the minimum bend radius (R= 300 mm) and up-slope (20 %) or down-slope (5 %) of the steam
hose is observed (see chapter 5.4.5).
– The steam humidiers Nordmann AT4 are designed for wallmount
ing. Make sure that the construction (wall, pillar, oormounted console,
etc.) to which the humidiers are to be mounted, offers a sufciently high load-bearing capacity (take notice of the weight information
found in the dimensions and weights table above), and is suitable for
the installation.
CAUTION!
Do not mount the steam humidier directly to the ventilation duct
(insufcient stability).
– The back panel of the Nordmann AT4 is retaining heat during operation
(max. surface temperature of the metal housing approx. 60 70 °C).
Make sure, therefore, that the construction (wall, pillar, etc.) to which
the unit is to be mounted, does not consist of heatsensitive material.
– Install the steam humidier in such a manner that it is freely accessible
with sufcient space available for maintenance purposes (refer to the
above illustration for minimum distances).
– The Nordmann AT4 is protected according to IP21. Make sure the units
are installed in a dripproof location and the admissible ambient condi
tions are complied with.
– The steam humidier Nordmann AT4 may only be installed in rooms
with a oor drain.
CAUTION!
If for some reason the Nordmann AT4 must be installed in a location
without oor drain, it is mandatory to provide a leakage monitoring
device to safely interrupt the water supply in case of leakage.
– When xing the Nordmann AT4 use only the xing materials supplied
with the unit. If xing with the materials supplied is not possible in your
particular case, select a method of xing that is of similar stability.
– The Nordmann ES4 is designed for installation and operation within
buildings (admissible temperature range see chapter 6.1). For outdoor
operation the Nordmann AT4 must be placed in a weather protective
housing. If ambient temperatures near or below the freezing point have
to be expected, the protective housing must equipped with a thermostat
controlled heating of sufcient capacity. The water supply pipe must be
equipped with a traceheating and must be insulated up to the protective
housing.

5.4.2 Positioning of the steam distribution pipes
The location for the steam distribution pipes should be determined at the
time of dimensioning the air conditioning system. Please note the following
instructions to ensure proper humidication of the duct air.
Calculating the humidication distance
The water vapour, emitting from the steam distribution pipes, requires a
certain distance to be absorbed by the ambient air so that it is no longer
visible as steam. This distance is referred to as humidication distance
“B
” and serves as a basis for the determination of the minimum distances
N
from the upstream components in the system.
BN: Humidication distance B
E: Expansion and mixing zone
φ1: Supply air humidity before humidication
φ2: Supply air humidity after humidication
N
The calculation of the humidication distance “BN” is dependent on several
factors. For a rough estimation of the humidication distance “BN”, the fol
lowing table is useful. Recommended standard values listed in this table
are based on a supplyair temperature range of 15 °C to 30 °C. The values
given in bold type only apply to steam distribution pipes DV41-... and
DV71-..., the values in brackets apply to the MultiPipe steam distribution system.
φ1 in %rh: Relative supply air humidity prior to humidication at the lowest supply air
temperature
φ2 in %rh: Relative supply air humidity after the steam distribution pipe at maximum
capacity
For duct widths <600 mm the humidication distance for the MultiPipe system increases
by approx. 50%
Length of humidication distance BN in m
Humidity at outlet ϕ2 in %rh
35
Example
given: ϕ1= 30 %rh, ϕ2= 70 %rh
humidication distance B
(0.36 m for steam distribution system MultiPipe)
Note: If the humidication distance has to be reduced for technical reasons,
the amount of steam per unit must be divided between several steam distribution pipes or the steam distribution system MultiPipe must be
used. If this is the case, contact your Nordmann supplier.
Minimum distances to be observed
To prevent the water vapour, that is emitting from the steam distribution pipe,
from condensing on downstream system components, a minimum distance
to the steam distribution pipe must be observed (depends on the humidi
cation distance “BN”).

Installation notes and dimensions
The steam distribution pipes are designed for either horizontal installation
(on the duct wall) or, with accessories, for vertical installation (in the duct
oor). The outlet orices should always point upwards and at right
angles to the airow.
If possible, the steam distribution pipes should be installed on the pressure
side of the duct (max. duct pressure 1500 Pa). If the steam distribution
pipes are installed on the suction side of the duct, the maximum vacuum
must not exceed 800 Pa.
Select a location for the installation, tailored to suit your duct (see the fol
lowing illustrations) and position the steam distribution pipes in the duct so
that a uniform distribution of steam is achieved.

Note: When locating the MultiPipe steam distribution system please note
the instructions in the separate documentation for this product.
Guidelines for dimensioning the ventilation ducts
– To facilitate the installation of the steam distribution pipes and for control
purposes, a sufciently sized control opening should be planned.
– Within the range of the humidication distance, the ventilation duct
should be waterproofed.
– Air ducts passing through cold rooms should be insulated to prevent
the humidied air from condensing along the duct wall.
– Poor airow conditions within the air duct (e.g. caused by obstacles,
tight bends, etc.) can lead to condensation of the humidied air.
– Steam distribution pipes must not be mounted to round ducts.
If you have questions relating to the dimensioning of ventilation ducts in
combination with steam humidiers Nordmann AT4, contact your Nordmann
supplier.

values should be adjusted accordingly.
Note: In order to achieve a uniform distribution of the humidity within the
room, additional factors such as the room size, the room height, etc., must
be taken into consideration besides observing the minimum distances for
the fan units FAN4 N... If you have questions concerning the direct room
humidication, please contact your Nordmann supplier.
Further information is provided in the separate installation and operating
instructions for the corresponding fan unit.
5.4.5 Installing the steam and condensate hose
Important! Use original steam and condensate hose from your Nordmann
supplier exclusively. Other types of hoses can cause undesired operational
malfunctions.
Instructions for the hose layout
The hose layout depends on the position of the steam distribution pipe:
– Steam distribution pipe is mounted more than 500 mm above the top
edge of the humidier:

The condensate hose is led down with a minimum slope of 20 %, in
the form of a siphon (min. hose bend diameter Ø200 mm), directly
into a discharge funnel.
Important! Before putting the unit into operation, the siphon of the
condensate hose must be lled with water.
– The steam hose should be kept as short as possible (max. 4 m) while
observing the minimum bend radius of 300 mm. Important! Allow
ance must be made for a pressure loss of approx. 100 Pa per meter
steam hose.
Note: If your particular installation exceeds the maximum steam hose
length of 4 m contact your Nordmann representative. In any case, steam
hoses longer than 4 m must be insulated in their entire length (e.g. with
insulation hose “EcoTherm”).
– Reductions in the cross section such as kinks should be avoided through
out the entire length of the hose. The installation of a stop cock in the
steam hose is not permissible.
– Steam hoses must be prevented from sagging (condensate pockets); if
necessary, support with pipe clamps, trough, or wall brackets, or install
a condensate drain in the steam hose.
– Important! When deciding on the length and layout of the hose, it
should be noted that the steam hose may become somewhat shorter
with progressive ageing.
– Important note regarding the IP protection class: to meet the IP21
protection class the steam hose lead through on top of the housing must
be sealed with commercially available, heat resistant sealant.
Securing the hose
The steam hose must be secured to the steam distribution pipe and humidi
er steam outlet by means of hose clamps. Caution! Do not overtighten the hose clamp on the steam connector of the
steam humidier.

the piping.
– Use exclusively copper pipe or stainless steel (min. DIN 1.4301).
– To minimize the condensate formation (=loss), the steam pipes must
be insulated.
– The minimum bend radius for solid pipes is 5 x internal diameter.
– Connection of the steam pipes to the steam distribution pipe and steam
humidier is effected by means of short lengths of steam hose secured
with hose clamps.
– Important! Allowance must be made for a pressure loss of approx.
100 Pa per meter length or per 90° bend.

5.6.3 Notes on electric installation
Important notes
– The electric installation must be carried out according to the wiring dia
gram in chapter 5.6.1, the notes on electric installation as well as the
applicable local regulations. All information given in the wiring diagram
must be followed and observed.
– All cables must be lead into the unit via the cable openings equipped with
cable glands (e.g. option “CGcable gland”). The cable for the heating
voltage supply must be lead into the unit from the bottom via the cable
opening equipped with the clamp strap. Fix the cable with the clamp
strap.
– Make sure the cables do not scrub on any components or become a
stumbling trap.
– Maximum cable length and required cross section per wire must be
observed.
– The supply voltages must match the respective voltages (heating and
control voltage) stated in the wiring diagram.
52
Heating voltage supply
CAUTION!
Before connecting, ensure that the mains voltage corresponds with the
heating voltage for the unit (see type plate).
The connection to the heating voltage is made in accordance with the wir
ing diagram, to the terminal block “XE1” in the control compartment. The
customer is to install a service switch “Q5” (disconnecting device with a
minimum contact opening of 3 mm is an essential requirement) and a fuse group“F5” (essential requirement, fuses are to be as detailed in the fol
lowing table) in the supply line. The supply wiring is to be fed into the unit
via the clamp strap on the bottom of the unit.
Note: Double units have separate heating voltage supplies for each cylinder.

53
Control voltage supply
CAUTION!
– Before connecting, ensure that the mains voltage corresponds with
the control voltage of the unit (230 V/1 50…60 Hz).
– The humidier must only be connected to a mains supply with a
protective conductor.
The connection to the control voltage is made in accordance with the wir
ing diagram, to the terminal block “XE3” in the control compartment. The
customer is to install a service switch “Q6” (all pole disconnecting device
with a minimum contact opening of 3 mm) and a “F6” fuse (max. 10 A slow acting) in the supply line (these are both essential requirements).
The crosssection of the mains cable must comply with the applicable local
regulations (minimum of 1.5 mm2).
External safety circuit
To guarantee the safety of the humidication system, monitoring the opera
tion by means of a safety circuit is an absolute requirement.
To accomplish this, the potential-free contacts (max. contact loading
250V/5A)
of external moni t or ing devices (e.g. safety high limit humidistat,
airow monitor, ventilation interlock, etc.) are connected in series to the contacts “SC1” and “SC2” of the terminal block “XE2” in accordance
with the wiring diagram.
DANGER!
Danger of electric hazard!
Mains voltage is connected to terminal block “XE2” (up to 240 V). The
steam humidier must therefore be isolated from the mains supply (heat
ing and control voltage), before starting the connection work.
If, for whatever reason, no external monitoring devices are connected, a
connecting bridge “J” must be installed on the contacts “SC1” and “SC2” of
the terminal block “XE2”.
Do not apply any extraneous voltage to the terminals.
The crosssection of the cable must comply with the applicable local regula
tions (minimum of 1 mm2).
54
Remote operating and fault indication H1 (Option “RFI”)
The optional remote operating and fault indication PCB is to be connected
via a at ribbon cable to the corresponding connector on the control board.
The optional remote operating and fault indication PCB contains four
potentialfree relay contacts for the connection of the following operating
and fault indications:
– “Error”: This relay is activated if an error is present.
– “Service”: This relay is activated when the set service interval has
expired.
– “Steam”: This relay closes as soon as the unit produces steam.
– “Unit On”: This relay closes as soon as the unit is switched on via the
main switch.
The maximum contact loading is 250V/8A.
Appropriate suppressor modules are to be used for the switching of relays
and miniature contactors.
Control signal (Y)
– External continuous humidity controller or humidity sensor (A1)
An external continuous humidity controller or a humidity sensor (operation
with internal P/PI controller) is to be connected to the contacts “IN” (+)
and “GND” (–) of the terminal block “XE4” in the control compartment.
Note: the control signal must be set via the control software of the hu
midier. The admissible control signals are stated in the technical data.
– Ohmic humidity controller (passive)
An ohmic humidity controller (140Ω...10kΩ) is to be connected to the
contacts “V+”, “IN” and “GND” of the terminal block “XE4” in the control
compartment.
Note: for the ohmic humidity controller a jumper must be set on “JP35V”.
– 24 VDC On/Off humidistat (passive)
An 24 VDC On/Off humidistat is to be connected to the contacts “V+”
and “IN” of the terminal block “XE4” in the control compartment.
Note: for the 24 VDC On/Off control a jumper must be set on “JP324V”.
Air supply limit signal (signal Z)
– External air supply limiter (A4)
An external air supply limiter (P/PI humidity controller) is to be connected
to the contacts “IN” (+) and “GND” (–) of the terminal plug “X11” on the
power board.
Note: the air supply limiter must be activated and congured via the
control software of the humidier. The admissible limit signals are stated
in the technical data.
Connection of the fan units FAN4 N...
See separate documentation of the corresponding fan unit.
55
Connection of the remote terminal (Option RP)
The optional remote terminal is to be connected via a fourwire cable to the
corresponding contacts of terminal block X15 on the power board of one
of the humidiers.
Addtional humidiers (max. 8) to be remote controlled are connected in
series via the contacts “D+” und “D–” of terminal block X15 to the humidier
connected to the remote terminal using a twowire cable.
The maximun cable length between the units is 50 m. Cable section 0.5 mm2.
The termination of the remote terminal bus is established via the jumpers
JP1, JP4 and JP5 on the power boards of the remote terminal and the con
nected humidiers (see table below).
