Humidification Systems

DRI-STEEM manufactures high-pressure atomizing, boiler steam, electric, gas and heat exchanger humidification systems to create and disperse steam, while providing accurate relative humidity (RH) control.

DRI-STEEM HIGH-PRESSURE ATOMIZING HUMIDIFIERS

DRI-STEEM High-Pressure Atomizing Humidifiers use heat naturally present in air to evaporate evenly-distributed water droplets. In warm, dry applications, DRI-STEEM High-Pressure Atomizing Humidifiers reduce cooling loads and water waste and are energy-efficient humidification systems. They provide high quality, industrial-grade humidification for a wide variety of applications, with steam capacities up to 8500 lbs/hr (3859 kg/h). Features include:

• Energy efficient
• Reduces cooling load, providing energy savings and humidifying simultaneously
• Reduces water waste

BOILER STEAM HUMIDIFIERS

Boiler Steam Humidifiers by DRI-STEEM use onsite or district steam for humidification. The DRI-STEEM Boiler Steam Humidifier line includes:

• Steam Injection - DRI-STEEM Steam Injection Humidifiers use steam from an external source, such as an in-house boiler or a district steam system, to dispense steam through ductwork or directly into the air. Stainless steel construction permits instantaneous heat-up to minimize condensation and eliminate cold start-up. DRI-STEEM offers Clean-steem™ models for environments with exacting temperature, air cleanliness and humidity requirements, such as hospitals, clean rooms, laboratories, and pharmaceutical plants.
• Ultra-sorb - DRI-STEEM Ultra-sorb provides cataloged, guaranteed absorption (non-wetting) distances for placement of steam dispersion devices without condensate fallout or impingement. The guaranteed non-wetting distances allow Ultra-sorb panels to be installed within inches of downstream devices without condensation, and the high-efficiency tubes reduce energy waste by as much as 85%.
• Maxi-bank or Multiple-tube Steam Injection Humidifiers - Designed for large steam capacity applications for short to moderate non-wetting distances. Maxi-bank is pre-piped and factory assembled; multiple-tube is field piped and field assembled. Steam capacities are up to 3328 lbs/hr (1510 kg/h).
• Mini-bank - Preassembled for small ducts; steam capacities are up to 84 lbs/hr (38 kg/h).
• Single tube - Factory assembled and pre-piped; suited for, but not limited to, small capacity systems. Steam capacities are from 2300 lbs/hr (1050 kg/h).
• Area-type - Designed for open spaces that may not have a duct system, including warehouses and manufacturing spaces. Steam capacities are from 286 lbs/hr (130 kg/h).

ELECTRIC HUMIDIFIERS

DRI-STEEM Electric Humidifiers are compatible with a wide range of control options and water types and are offered with a wide range of capacities and steam distribution methods. The product line includes:

• Vaporstream Electric Humidifiers - The DRI-STEEM Vaporstream electric humidifier is an industrial grade unit that features accurate, responsive control with Vapor-logic4. Designed to meet humidification demands of any building environment, Vaporstream supports steam capacities from 5.7 - 285 lb/hr (2.6 - 129 kg/h); up to 16 units can be linked for capacity up to 4560 lbs/hr (2068 kg/h. Steam capacities up to 285 lbs/hr (129 kg/h)
• Vapormist (Humidi-tech in Europe) Electric Humidifier - The Vapormist humidifier is a compact, cabinet-style unit ideal for finished spaces and compatible with all water types: tap, softened, deionized, reverse osmosis. Steam capacity is 6 - 102 lb/hr (2.7 - 46 kg/h); up to 16 units can be linked for capacity up to 1632 lb/hr (740 kg/h).
• XT Electrode Humidifier - The XT Electrode Steam Humidifier provides reliable humidification with low up-front costs and minimal maintenance. Steam capacities are 5 - 200 lb/hr (2.3 - 91 kg/h).
• CRUV Electric Humidifier - The CRUV humidifier can be mounted inside an existing enclosure, such as a packaged air conditioning unit, or in an existing system, such as an environmental chamber. CRUV is self-contained, compatible with all water types and ideal when adding a humidification system that meets space requirements. Steam capacities are 6 - 102 lb/hr (2.7 - 46 kg/h).

GAS HUMIDIFIERS

The DRI-STEEM Gas-to-steam (GTS) humidifier is compatible with all water types: tap, softened, deionized and reverse osmosis. It provides a broad capacity range and precise control for indoor and outdoor enclosures, with integral drain water tampering. Steam capacities are as high as 600 lb/hr (272 kg/h).

HEAT EXCHANGER HUMIDIFIERS

STS and LTS humidifiers by DRI-STEEM are economical humidification systems, using heat from steam boilers or hot liquid boilers to produce high-quality, chemical-free steam. They are compatible with all water types: tap, softened, deionized and reverse osmosis.

• STS Chemical-free Steam - The steam-to-steam (STS) humidifier transfers boiler steam energy through a heat exchanger to a replenishing supply of clean fill water, and then boils it into steam. Steam capacities are up to 1600 lb/hr (726 kg/h).
• LTS - The liquid-to-steam (LTS) humidifier permits chemical-free humidification using on-site hot liquid, such as water, oil, or glycol. It transfers energy from an existing 240 degrees F (116 degrees C) or hotter liquid source through a heat exchanger to a replenishing supply of clean fill water, and then boils it into steam. Steam capacities are 25 - 540 lb/hr (11.3 to 245 kg/h).
