The NORTEC MH humidifier is the
most cost-effective humidifier/cooler
available today.
Productivity and quality of life are directly affected by
the indoor environment. People work better and feel
better in favorable surroundings. So do products and
machines! They all respond in various ways to changes
in air quality, temperature and humidity. All three
elements must be just right to maximize performance
and reliability, both in humans and equipment. Correct
humidity is critical, since too much humidity can be as
destructive as too little.
Walter Meier is a world leader in state-of-the-art
humidification technology. Our focus is concentrated
exclusively on designing and building better humidification
systems. Every NORTEC MH 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.
NORTEC MH evaporative humidifiers offer complete
application flexibility to systems engineers, contractors
and customers. They can be integrated into central air
handling units or ventilation ducts.
With its stingy energy consumption the MH Series is a
perfect compliment towards Green/LEED building design.

The V-Profile polyester media intensifies the
evaporation process providing exceptionally high
performance and efficiency. The large surface of
the evaporation media results in a high evaporation
rate with low energy consumption. The MH Series
offers humidification efficiencies of up to 85 and
95%. The MH Series is suitable for high duty
applications and when applying the Reflow model,
the system captures the non-evaporated water and
returns it to the water circulation system for reuse.
The increased water efficiency has a very quick
payback for building owners.
Saving water and energy as well as reducing
operating costs is an important challenge in today’s
world. The NORTEC MH Series not only humidifies
but can cool the air by up to 22ºF (12.5ºC) at high
humidification efficiency and at a low cost.

technology
V-profile Media
The core element of the MH unit is the patented
humidifier box located in the air duct. Dry air
flows through the box, water flows over the
hygroscopic media and the extremely large wet
surface releases humidity to the air. This method
enables air humidifying or cooling with limited
electrical energy. The V-profile humidifier box
consists of synthetic media with an impressed
V-profile which enables a more intensive
exchange of air and water.

Models
The Nortec MH Series is available in two basic
versions. The FLOW model with direct water drainage
and the REflow model for water recirculation.
Whether to use a flow or REflow system depends
considerably on the primary application of humidifying
or cooling and the supplied water quality.
The REflow model contains a circulation pump that
conveys the water via EPDM plastic hose to the spray
beam located above the humidifier box. The water
then trickles vertically through the boxes. The water
not needed for humidifying flows back into the water
basin where it is collected and recuirculated for
optimal water efficiency.
In the FLOW model, the water is not collected in the
water basin, but is discarded and flows directly into
the drain.

Ultra Violet Sterilization
For applications where higher hygienic requirements must be met an optional UV
package is available. The ultra violet radiation from the discharge lamp sterilizes the
water and controls potential microbial build up. Both Flow and REflow models can
be fully equipped.
Conductivity Monitoring
Conductivity monitoring will continuously check the Total Dissolved Solid (TDS)
content inside the water tank. The adjustable conductivity sensor then initiates
drains accordingly. This feature is available for the REflow models only.
Controls
Nortec offers a wide range of digital controls when selecting the MH product.
The total controller allows easy integration into any local building management
system with it’s host protocol modbus. See Nortec LINKS2 and Online for other
communication options.

NORTEC LINKS 2
NORTEC LINKS 2 offers advanced monitoring and
control allowing the MH units to communicate to
your local Building Management System (BMS)
via BACnet MSTP or IP, LonWorks, or Modbus
protocols. LINKS2 also provides internet ready
monitoring and control (consult factory).
NORTEC OnLine
By adding the NORTEC OnLine option you get
