The robust water softening systems from HygroMatik sustainably reduce the build of limescale in steam air humidifiers and steam generators, thus offering clear benefits when used in air humidification systems and in steam generating equipment.
The amount of limescale deposit when vaporising mains water defines, in most regions, the scope of the regular maintenance and cleaning intervals for steam humidifiers. A simple rule applies: The harder the water and the more intensive the use, the greater the limescale deposit. This leads to significantly shorter maintenance and cleaning intervals.
The HygroMatik water softening systems provide air humidification systems with hygienically treated soft water and guarantee an effective protection against limescale deposits. As a result down-times and maintenance costs for the operator can be considerably reduced, especially during intensive use.
The HygroMatik water softening systems reduce the lime content of the water, based on the proven ion substitution method. Thereby the integrated ion substitution tower (resin tower), filled with special resin, is perfused with water. The calcium and magnesium ions released in the water are removed and replaced by sodium ions - in this way the water is softened. After the production of a specified amount of soft water a regeneration of the system regularly takes place. During regeneration the special resin in the ion substitution tower is rinsed with saline solution. During this process the calcium and magnesium ions are released from the special resin and replaced by sodium ions. The rinsing water is let into the waste water system.
If the water softening system hasn't been used for a length of time, in addition to the regular, volume dependent regeneration process a compulsory regeneration according to DVGW (German Association for Gas and Water) is triggered to ensure perfect hygienic conditions.
This thorough and hygienic process ensures the best water quality.
All water softening systems are supplied with the following features:
The WaterLine Compact water softening system is fitted with the following components:
The WaterLine Single water softening system also includes:
The Double and DoublePlus water softening systems are pendulum systems. They ensure the interruption free soft water supply, and, as a result of their alternating operating mode are especially suitable for air humidification systems that require a permanent supply of soft water.
The Double and DoublePlus water softening systems are equipped with the following components:
If there is a high manganese and iron content in the water we recommend the DoublePlus water softening system. The special resin Eco-Mix is exclusively designed for these requirements.
