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.

NORTEC LiveSteam delivers precise humidity control. Utilizing tried and true components and 304 stainless steel tubing, LiveSteam is the dependable steam injection system for your facility.
LiveSteam distributors are available in a wide variety of lengths ranging from 12" to 144" to suit your exact duct size for the best possible steam dispersion. Multi-tube units are also available.
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).
