Humidifiers designed to deliver
reliable humidity from facility
steam boilers.
People spend 90% of their lives indoors, therefore the
importance of correct temperature and humidity levels
are critical to personal health and comfort. Too much
humidity can be as destructive as too little.
Manufacturing and industrial processes are
also directly affected by the indoor environment.
Like people, machines work better in favorable
surroundings. All equipment and processes respond in
various ways to temperature and humidity fluctuations.
For maximum performance, reliable temperature and
humidity are essential.
NORTEC LiveSteam (LS Series) steam injection
humidifiers and NORTEC SE Series steam exchange
humidifiers deliver reliable humidity from the facility
steam boiler. Constructed of premium quality 304
and 316 stainless steel, NORTEC LS and SE Series
equipment are designed for long operating life with
minimal maintenance.
In hospitals, universities, museums, galleries, and
other facilities, steam injection humidification is
a tried and true way to achieve a critical balance
between temperature and humidity control.

operating advantages
Steam Exchange
On NORTEC SE Series Steam Exchange
humidifiers, the boiler steam passes through
the SE internal heat exchanger(s) bringing the
surrounding water in the tank to atmospheric clean
steam vapor. The chemical treatment from the
boiler does not enter the air steam.
The SE Series heat exchanger utilizes 316
stainless steel and is designed to give maximum
output while taking up minimal space. It is easy to
remove for cleaning and the flat smooth surfaces
help reduce maintenance time.
Precise Control
In facilities with existing steam boilers LS and SE
Series offer a cost effective way to add precise
humidity control. With a wide variety of control
options and unit capacities NORTEC LS and SE
Series are ideal for job engineered systems.

NORTEC LINKS
NORTEC Links offers monitoring and control
allowing humidifier(s) to communicate to your
Building Management System (BMS). The
controller is factory installed and is located
internally to the humidifier. Simply specify at time
of order what operating protocol you are using –
BACnet IP, BACnet MSTP, LonWorks, Modbus or
Jonhson N2.
NORTEC OnLine
NORTEC OnLine is a remote interactive
communication package that allows satellite
contacts to monitor, maintain and control
a humidification center from any location
worldwide using standard internet connections.
This advanced software shows graphic
representations of the humidifier and its key
parameters (up to 75 functions).
