Condair is introducing an updated version of its most popular steam humidifier, the Condair RS. As well as a new outer case design, the resistive steam humidifier now incorporates the latest internet-connected technology that allows remote monitoring and troubleshooting by the manufacturer.
Dave Marshall-George, UK & Ireland Sales Director at Condair, said: “The Condair RS has long been the industry-leading resistive steam humidifier, with its unique scale collector tank allowing easy removal of limescale from the system. Now with Internet-of-Things connectivity, it once again pushes the boundaries of steam humidifier technology. Customers now have the option to have the manufacturer remotely monitor their humidifier’s performance via the Condair Cloud.
“This cutting-edge technology gives customers the peace-of-mind that their humidity control is constantly being managed with the expertise only the manufacturer can provide. With this IoT option, Condair can now support its customers every step of the way, from initial system design, manufacture, supply and install, all the way through to every-day operation and routine servicing.”
A new touchscreen user interface operates like a smartphone, enabling users to navigate through clear icon-based menus with scroll, slide and press functionality. The controller also offers historic performance and settings reporting, service history, error reporting and an Excel-based download to USB function.
Alongside these new features, the Condair RS still incorporates the unique scale management system that has made it so popular. A removeable tank sits underneath the boiling chamber, collecting the scale as it detaches from the heating elements during normal operation. In-house maintenance staff can routinely drain the system and empty the scale from this tank, without opening the main unit housing.
Other features include a “cold-water pool” that prevents any blockages around the water inlet or drain outlet. The boiling chamber has a twin-wall design with the water inlet and drain outlet being situated in an area between these walls.
Small single cylinder units start with a maximum output of 5kg/h, with double-cylinder models and master/slave configurations offering up to 160kg/h. Steam humidification can be delivered to a duct via a steam lance, as well as directly to a room with a top-mounted or remotely located blower pack.
