ELECTRIC STEAM

Nortec electrode steam humidifiers provide pure, clean steam using the most efficient steam humidification process. Energy is conserved with efficient steam conversion rate, smart water use and lowest energy losses due to low hot water drain rates. Maintenance is easy and economical with cylinder technology. Solid mineral scale sinks to the bottom of the cylinder which, when filled with residue, is easily removed and replaced.
Nortec electrode steam humidifiers offer complete application flexibility. They can be integrated into central
HVAC systems with distributors, AM-Series, or placed in specific locations with their own steam distribution blower pack (BP-Series) for individual room control.
Why Cylinders?
■
■
■
■
■
■
Energy efficient
Reduce down time and costly maintenance
No special tools required to remove cylinder
Removes all minerals left behind
No need for specially treated water
Keep humidifiers working at optimum performance
Output vs. Cylinder Life
Unlike other humidifiers whose performance degrades gradually throughout the life of the cylinder, Nortec electrode steam humidifiers maintain maximum efficiency from beginning to end.
As minerals build-up on the electrodes in the cylinder, the patented
Auto-Adaptive control system automatically raises the water level slightly in the cylinder. This exposes fresh electrode surface to the water and maintains peak output and efficiency from the humidifier. Once the electrode surface is completely insulated by the minerals, the user is alerted to change the cylinder.
All Nortec electrode steam humidifiers feature a disposable cylinder.
Contact your local Nortec agent for more cylinder replacement information.
The
EL-Series
is the newest electrode steam humidifier from
Nortec. With forty years experience and a leader in commercial humidification, Nortec has developed an all new touch screen controller that is easy to navigate and contains more information than ever before.

EVAPORATIVE
Saving energy and water, while reducing operating costs, is an important challenge in an increasingly energy conscious world. The Nortec
ME-Series
evaporative media humidifier/ cooler is an efficient way to provide both humidification and cooling while reducing building energy usage. Water evaporating from the media extracts sensible heat from the air stream generating cooling in addition to humidity, often as much as 22°F (12.5°C) or more.
The key to this high level of performance is the unique
V-profile polyester media, which intensifies the moisture exchange process and is available in both 8" and 12" thicknesses to meet nearly any performance requirement.
The media also features a UL 900 smoke and flame rating in the USA (ULC-S111-07 Class 2 in Canada).
The ME-Series is available in both direct feed and recirculation models. Direct feed models are excellent for potable water applications or where a central recovery system is being employed. Recirculation models are ideal for all water types, and features a unique hydraulic module. The self-contained hydraulic module offers flexibility to be installed internally or externally to the airstream. External installations separate the mechanical components from the airstream, simplifying installation and maintenance.
Also available is the advanced Integrated Controller which features LCD touchscreen display and advanced control functions allowing the user to adjust a variety of operational parameters.

The Nortec
DL-Series
intelligently combines two humidification technologies to benefit from the advantages of atomization and evaporation. The hybrid humidifier delivers hygiene, performance and cost-effectiveness.
Low pressure molecular nozzles require less compression work which translates to significant energy savings. The nozzle system has the highest control precision with 15 stages of output in conjunction with an adjustable speed driven humidification pump. Using low pressure molecular nozzles combined with unique ceramic media absorption distance is minimized and guarantees the humidified air is absolutely aerosol free.
The HygienePlus® concept is a complete hygiene solution that has the highest hygiene quality. The HygienePlus® concept is based on demand driven silver ionization of the humidifying water to prevent the growth of harmful microbial organisms.
The silver ions treat all the humidification components for unmatched hygiene.

Why use compressed air?
A compressed air and water humidifier offers guaranteed evaporation of the moisture into the atmosphere without any potential risk of drips. By forcing the water to mix with the air under pressure the sprays produced are rapidly absorbed and highly directional.
This makes the JS ideal for cold temperature applications, such as cold stores and freezers, where the ambient humidity is often high and humidification less readily absorbed by the air.
As no fan unit is required to encourage evaporation, the JetSpray can reliably be used in very dusty and dirty industrial environments without frequent maintenance.
JS
Hygienic operation
The JS-Series is a sealed system with no open water tanks, minimising the risk of water contamination. Automatic purge and flush cycles ensure water cannot remain in the pipelines to stagnate. An air run-on feature leaves the pipe work dry at the end of the cycle.
PureFlo Ag+ silver ion water treatment is incorporated on the incoming water supply line. This is a bacteriostatic agent with residual effects throughout the pipe work, promoting hygienic operation.
50% less water consumption
The JS can be operated on any type of potable water supply. This reduces water consumption by up to 50% compared to other spray humidifiers that need demineralized and softened water to prevent blockages at the nozzle.
30% less air consumption
Unlike other air and water spray humidifiers that use the air pressure to push back the self-cleaning pin mechanism, the
JetSpray nozzle uses the water pressure. This results in a lower required air pressure and a 30% reduction in compressed air consumption compared to other air and water systems.
Low maintenance
The JS nozzle contains a self-cleaning mechanism that prevents blockages. A pin is forced through the nozzle orifice whenever the spray stops and is pushed back by the water pressure during operation. Unlike piston driven nozzle systems no lubrication of this mechanism is ever required and the only necessary maintenance of the nozzle line is to occasionally wipe the air caps to remove dust.
The nozzles are so robust in operation they carry a 10-year warranty.

STEAM DISTRIBUTION
BP-Series
BP-Series
blower packs are an optional accessory used for direct steam distribution into localized areas, or into structures that do not have a built-in air distribution system.
When used with the EL-Series, RS-Series, or RH-Series models, built-on blower packs are available for ease of installation.
Remote mounted blower packs are also available with the EL-Series, RS-Series, SE-Series, GS-Series, and RH-Series humidifiers for better distribution of steam in the space being humidified.
AM-Series
The
AM-Series
short absorption manifold, distributes clean steam, precisely controlled, uniformly into the air stream, and void of any condensate spray. Nortec's steam absorption system is for use in air handling units and duct systems where short steam absorption distance is critical. Steam distribution takes place via distributor tubes with integrated nozzles which extend into the center of the distribution tube ensuring only condensate-free steam is released. Condensate drains out of the distribution tubes through the header, eliminating the need for jacketed tubes.
An AM-mini is also available for use in ducts with heights ranging from 8" - 24" (20.3 - 61.0 cm). Optional stainless steel air gap insulation can reduce energy losses by up to 70%, while ensuring efficient and hygienic operation.
AS-Series
Nortec's
AS-Series
atmospheric steam distributor allows for direct introduction of atmospheric steam into a duct system or Air Handling Unit. Atmospheric steam distributors are designed for use with EL-Series, RS-Series, GS-Series, SE-Series and RH-Series humidifiers. All steam distributor tubes are made of stainless steel and adjustable for horizontal or vertical flow applications. An Integral condensate return allows for condensate produced at the distributor to be returned back to the humidifier or drained through a convenient floor drain.

CONTROLS
Digital wall control
Digital duct control
Nortec offers control solutions for every humidification application. Options include on/off humidistats for general control applications, modulating humidistats for precise control and remote control of relative humidity through a building management system.
Contact your local Nortec representative for details.
On/Off Controls
Nortec
on/off controls
can be used with all technologies for humidity control and/or humidification safety.
For room humidity control, Nortec offers a return-air duct mounted on/off digital duct humidistat or a wall mounted on/off digital humidistat. Both humidistats come complete with a built-in sensor, a keypad for adjusting setpoint and a backlit LCD display. Features such as outdoor temperature setback and a relay for furnace/circulation fan control ensure safe, energy efficient operation. Accuracies of ±5% RH are expected.
For humidification safety, Nortec offers an air-proving and high-limit control. The air-proving switch is used to prevent humidifying when there is no air movement in the duct. For high-limit control, an on/off digital duct humidistat is used to avoid over humidification of the supply duct.
Modulating Controls
Nortec offers
humidistats
for room and duct control.
Humidistats provide a demand signal to the humidifier, while transducers sense relative humidity and are used for setpoint control at the humidifier. Typical accuracies of ±3% RH are expected with standard conditions, while tolerances of ±1%
RH can be achieved for specialty applications.
Humidistats and transducers can either be wall mounted for room humidity control or duct mounted for room humidity and/or high limit control. Both wall and duct controls come complete with a keypad for configuration as well as a backlit digital display. Controls can be combined with Nortec OnLine-
Series and/or Building Connectivity, to allow remote display and configuration of humidity setpoints.
