WE HUMIDIFY THE AIR.

HygroMatik Pressure steam system DDS.

The HygroMatik pressure steam system DDS System is connected to an existing source of steam, and makes the steam condensation free, which means it can be used in clean rooms and hospitals, for example.

The new HygroMatik DDS is the only system that offers four components in one compact unit; High performance steam separator, strainer, condensate drain and start-up safety switch - all in stainless steel VA. Compact, light, energy-saving.

The DDS can be put together to suit the individual application. The standard flanged connections, compact dimensions and the low intrinsic weight mean it is easy to install - even in challenging installation conditions.

The HygroMatik DDS humidifies using condensate-free saturated steam,which means it offers the shortest possible humidification distances.

Product description

Replaceable dirt trap.

The high quality stainless steel dirt trap protects the control valve and the condensate drain against dirt from the steam network. The inner, fine-mesh coarse strainer can be simply exchanged.

High-performance steam dryer.

The stainless steel DDS steam dryer separates condensate from steam using a spiral piping system. Thanks to the low weight and the compact closed system, the HygroMatik DDS is easy to assemble and highly energy efficient.

Reliable start-up protection.

The start-up protection enables humidification only once a defined operating temperature has been reached. This effectively prevents the penetration of condensate from the steam network into the air conditioning duct.

High-performance condensate drain.

The robust, tightly closing ball float condensate between drain channels away any condensate. Due to the fast-response principle and the high capacity, large quantities of condensate can also reliably be drained away, e.g. during system start-up. In this way the closed system prevents any loss of steam.

Optimally adjusted.

The bus-compatible actuator offers optimum automatic control by means of direct connection without an adapter. The special metal-to-metal or soft sealing HygroMatik control valve regulates the steam quantity by means of valve travel with an equal percentage characteristic curve. This means particularly fine control in the lower range and a quick response to a higher humidity requirement in the upper control range.

Stainless steel steam lances.

Steam lances from stainless steel have a low net weight and are quickly fitted. The quiet steam outlet nozzles take the steam centrally from the driest area of the steam lance. The alignment of the nozzles against the air flow ensures quick distribution and a short absorption distance.

The inner, closed steam lance heating system is arranged at the lowest point of the steam lance. This means that any condensate which may possibly arise can immediately be revaporized. The energy optimized control results from the light, maintenance friendly thermic condensate drain. Any unnecessary temperature rise of the channel caused by an irregular steam output is avoided.

Applications

Production and manufacturing processes

Print and paper.

In the print and paper industry, regulating the air humidity is necessary to ensure high-quality goods of materials and processes, as they both react strongly to humidity level changes.

Wood processing.

Since timber is a natural raw material which absorbs and emits moisture in accordance with its surroundings, indoor air humidity levels can significantly affect the use and production process of wood.

Automotive and aerospace.

In the automotive and aerospace industries, it can be challenging to maintain and control stable temperatures, especially during the production process e.g. in the foundry, painting line, and machinery room.

Electronics and high-tech manufacturing industry.

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is more likely to happen if the air is too dry (less than 45% relative humidity). With the correct humidity level, costly damage to sensitive components or disruption to production processes can be prevented.

Air humidification in electronics and high-tech manufacturing environments

Laboratories and clean rooms.

Temperature and relative humidity plays a significant role in laboratories and clean rooms as they require stable, controllable atmospheric conditions in order to achieve comparable and consistent work results.

Food and luxury food industry.

Quality and freshness in food production can only be achieved through optimum air humidity. The correct moisture levels can stop foods from drying out and losing weight. At the same time, the ideal humidification encourages the ripening process of certain foods.

Air humidification in the food and beverage industry

Public buildings and offices

Museums and galleries.

Air humidification is vital in museums and galleries as they often house invaluable artefacts which require a regulated and consistent indoor climate to avoid damage.

Hospitals and doctors’ surgeries.

As the treatment and recovery of patients is the main focus in hospitals and doctors’ surgeries, a healthy environment plays a critical role in the quality of services provided by a medical facility.

Cruise ships and offshore.

Cruise ships require a vast amount of cooling performance for air-conditioning. Adiabatic cooling systems are an efficient and cost-effective solution. Regulated air humidity creates a pleasant, healthy environment on board.
