5 STEAM DISTRIBUTION
To achieve optimal humidifier efficiency, the steam produced must be introduced into the room uniformly, in order to prevent
the spraying of drops and notable condensation. This is best achieved using ventilated steam distributors or linear distribu-
tors. The right steam distributor must be chosen according to the place where the steam is to be introduced. If the steam is
to be distributed directly into the environment (rooms, ware houses, etc.), ventilated steam distributors (optional) fitted with
electric fans should be used. If, on the other hand, the steam is to be introduced into ducts or air handling systems, linear
distributors must be used, which exploit the speed of the air itself for distribution.
5.1 Direct steam distribution: ventilated steam distributors
Ventilated steam distributors, used to distribute the steam directly into the room, may be fitted on top of the humidifier
(see Fig. 5.1.1) or alter natively positioned separately and connected to the humidifier (see Fig. 5.1.2) using a steam and
condensate drain pipe. The drawings show the minimum recommended distances to avoid the flow of humidified air from
coming into direct contact with persons, lights, electrical appliances, false ceilings and cold surfaces before the steam has
been totally absor bed by the environment.
For further details on the assembly, the electrical connections and the use of ventilated steam distributors, please refer to
the specific instruction manual.

5.2 Steam distribution in cold rooms
Cold rooms can be humidified using a ventilated steam distributor, making sure that this operates within its operating limits.
The cell must have operating temperatures of between -10 °C and +20 °C, with a per centage of relative humidity of no
greater than 80% rH. If these limits are not possible, the steam can be distributed in the cold room using a linear distributor.
In any case, the steam must not come into direct contact with flows of air cold from the refrigeration unit in the cold room,
to avoid possible condensation.
