FUNCTIONING PRINCIPLE
The immersed electrode humidifiers of the series EASYSTEAM, exploit the conductivity of water
for food use for the production of steam by boiling.
In the cylinder, an electric current is triggered between the immersed electrodes; this overheats the
water until it is brought to the boiling temperature.
The current intensity, expressed in amperes, varies according to the quantity of water present in the
cylinder and in contact with the surface of the electrodes and its conductivity.
The electronics present in the humidifier is able, thanks to an amperometric transformer, to measure
this intensity of current and therefore, by controlling the load solenoid valve to raise the water level
in the cylinder or the drain pump to lower it, it succeeds to control this phenomenon in an
absolutely automatic way.
Furthermore, thanks to a microprocessor technology and to an humidity sensor, proportional
operation can be set, optimizing the consumption of water and electricity according to the humidity
requirements of the environment to be treated.
In addition to ensuring functioning during steam output, the discharge pump also guarantees the
complete cylinder draining when the unit has been inactive for a set time: this prevents the
formation and the deposit of limescale or other particles created during the boiling process.
The humidifiers of the EASYSTEAM series are totally automatic and require only periodic
cleaning of the cylinder and its replacement when the electrodes are worn.
The layout below illustrates the functioning principle.
