Electric Steam Humidifier with Automatic Steam Distribution Unit

The amount of humidity required in a home is dependent on acertain extent on the way it is constructed. A well inulated house with vapor barriers in walls, ceilings and slabs and properly fitting storm doors and windows may require only couple of galolons of additional moisture per day to maintain the proper relative humidity. A house of same size but loosely constructed may need five times as much moisture in the same period.

If you home winds up with too much humidity, it can incease the growth rate and spread of a wide variety of molds. It will also greatly accelerate the rotting process of many woods and other structural materials.

Humidity not only affects your home itself, but also a wide variety of contents. Low humidity is the main cause of static electricity in a home. Dry skin and dry carpets are great for creating the friction required to send sparks from you fingertips into anything you touch. With all the highly sensitive electronics equipement (from stereos and tv's to computers) in homes today, static electricity can be a major threat. It doesn't take much of a spark to harm that expensive piece of electronics.

A newly developed Neptronic SDU steam-distubution unit for stand-alone electric steam humidifiers offers unprecedented precise humidity control in any size room or buildeng where ventilating ductwork is not present. The steam is discharged with a quiet fan blower (available in 3 sizes) directly into the area. 
 
In addition, in order to prevent the accumulation of condensation in air ducts, NEP has designed 2 basic configurations of steam distribution to provide the client with the most economical solution for any particular application. 

Distribution manifold systems are to be used to prevent condensation in air ducts (available in 3 types of manifolds) . 
 
      1. “MULTI-STEAM”; where absorption distances are very short.
      2. “S.A.M.”; where absorption distances are short.
      3. “S.A.M.E.”; where duct dimensions are restricted.

The SDU Steam Distribution Unit can be used with either SK-300 or SKR electric steam humidifier. The self contained SK300 steam humidifiers produce mineral free, odourless, sterile steam without the replacement cost associated with electrode cylinders manufactured by competitors.

SK300 Electric Humidifier has the following features:

• Capacities from 6-180lb/hr (2.7-82kg/hr) of steam
• On/Off or fully modulating with solid state relays
• BACnet interface capability
• AFEC system, mass measuring water sensor.
• Permanent stainless steel chamber with self cleaning heating elements
• Simplicity of operation and service
• Corrosion and scratch resistant aluminium housing with powder paint finish
• Wall mounted installation

The SKR humidifier is easy to install and provides a simple and reliable operation with the user friendly control package. Steam is produced in a permanent stainless steel chamber which is easily removed and re-installed for rapid servicing. No plastic cylinders to replace, making it more economical to operate and environmentally friendly than the electrode humidifier.
• No expensive plastic cylinders to buy
• Environmentally friendly - no plastic cylinders to throw away
• No more blocked drain solenoid valves
• Drain water tempered to below 14

About Oleg Chetchel

Tenderall Fan Co. is a supplier of plastic and fiberglass fans and blowers for industry applications where aggressive media must be moved. Plastic fans include polypropelene, PVC, PVDF, fire retardant and UV resistant PPs.

Applications for Corrosion and Chemical Resistant Fans include:

* University, Medical Research, Defence Labs, Fume Hoods OEMs, Pharmaceutical Labs
 
  On most campuses there is a certain number of fume hoods that are used for various acids testing to break down materials for analysis. HCl and Perchloric Acid are the ones used most commonly. Fume hoods and Chemical resistant fans are needed.

* High Technology Semiconductors, PCBs, and Photonics

  Chip makers use acids to clean metal before they mount thin film on the metal upon which they lay circuitry.

* Printed Circuit Board Industry

  FRP fans are frequenly used for clean rooms.

* Waste water and Sewage Treatment Plants

  Hydrogen Sulfide builds up (H2S) in sewage plant facilities and causes an odor problem that has to be treated. Depending on the size of these stations corrosion resistant fans are needed. This gas can also be very volatile and will require explosion proof motor and static grounding of the fan housing by graphite impregnation that Canada Blower can provide too.

* Salt Air and High Humidity Environments

  Any facility near the salt air is also a good place for plastic fans and the humidity will eat through metal fans.

* Steel and Wire Manufacturing

  As the steel comes in and sits at these plants impurities and scale develop on the steel or the wire that needs to be cleaned off before the wire or steel can be properly worked with. Acid baths are needed for this and the corrosive fumes coming off these aced baths are highly corrosive...

* Stainless Steel and other Metal Production Facilities

  In tha annealing and Pickling process acid baths are used to strip scale off the steel after the annealing process that smoothed out grain patterns that may have formed during the annealing process. Later on acids are used again to support oxidation.

* Chemical and Petrochemical Industries

* Jet Engine and Power Plant Turbine Manufacturing or Servicing

  Molted Salt tanks are often used here to descale metals coming out of hot furnaces. Pickling and cleaning of titanium which is used in Jet engine parts also utilize acid baths as does nickel plating.

* Electroplating and Metal Finishing

  These industries use fiberglass fans and fume scrubbers.

* Scrubber OEMs and Designers
 
  FRP fans are standard components in fiberglass srubber designs.

* Industrial Galvanizers

* Printing Press Service Shops

* Chromatography

* Food Processing

  Often in the food processing industry they wash equipment down with acids and other corrosives. Also they use fans for the humidity that builds up from the drying process of foods.

* Pulp and Paper Industry

  Pulp and paper manufacturers are very wide users of fiberglass and other plastics fans for their boilers, exhaust and filtration systems.

Tenderall fans are the finest quality blowers available for efficient movement of corrosive, humid, or polluted air, gases, and fumes. These fire-retardant and corrosion-resistant plastic fans are specially designed and especially suited for hostile applications where coated metal blowers typically corrode. Tenderall fans are proven thoughout the world and clearly recognized for superior quality, reliability, and efficiency.

High-efficiency impellers result in low power consumption, operating costs, and quieter operation. All metal hardware is completely sealed from exposure to corrosion by incapsulating into FRP or plastic; the steel support frame and motor base are powder coated with a corrosion-resistant finish. In addition to being highly resistant to chemical corrosion, PP fans are self-extinguishing and will not support combustion.

Tenderall fiberglass fans housings are manufactured from premium grade, fire resistant resins that provide excellent corrosion resistance in most chemical environments. Tenderall FRP impellers are made of premium vinyester that combines corrosion resistance with structural integrity under the stress of rotation.

Tough applications mean tough fans and blowers by Tenderall Fan Co. Tenderall Fan Co. is a world wide distributor of industrial process ans OEM fans and blowers, as well as fan / blower components; including high pressure blowers, high temperature fans, spark resistant and explosion proof ventilators, tubeaxial and vaneaxial high pressure ventilators. Tenderall Fan Co. also does existing fans and blowers repairs, re-build, as well as dynamical wheels balancing.
