VAPORMIST INSTALLATION, OPERATION, AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL

Dispersion:

High-efficiency Tube option

Dispersion assemblies with the High-efﬁciency

Tube option are designed to produce

signiﬁcantly less dispersion-generated

condensate and airstream heat gain, which

reduces wasted energy by up to 85%.

These improvements are accomplished by

reducing the thermal conductivity of the tubes

with 1/8" of polyvinylidene ﬂuoride (PVDF)

insulating material on the outside of the tubes.

These assemblies require careful unpacking,

installation, and handling. If your dispersion

assembly has the High-efﬁciency Tube option,

be sure to read this section carefully.

DriSteem humidiﬁers operate with several types of dispersion assemblies for

open spaces and for ducts and air handling units.

Dispersion assemblies in ducts and air handling units must be positioned where

the water vapor being discharged is carried off with the airstream and is

absorbed before it can cause condensation or dripping.

• Non-wetting distance is the dimension downstream from the leaving

side of the steam dispersion assembly to the point where wetting will

not occur, although wisps of steam may be present. This distance

was calculated during humidiﬁcation system design and is dependent

on several application parameters. To determine your dispersion

assembly’s non-wetting distance, consult your system’s design engineer

or project documentation. Non-wetting distance can also be calculated

using DriSteem’s DriCalc sizing and selection software, available at

www. dristeem.com. Note that your current design conditions may vary

from conditions used for system design.

• In general, the dispersion assembly is best placed where the air can absorb

the moisture being added without causing condensation at or after the unit.

This normally will be after the heating coil or where the air temperature is

highest.

• Place the dispersion assembly such that absorption will occur

– before the intake of a high efﬁciency ﬁlter, because the ﬁlter can remove

the visible moisture and become waterlogged;

– before coming in contact with any metal surface;

– before ﬁre or smoke detection devices;

– before a split in the duct; otherwise, the dispersion assembly can direct

more moisture into one duct than the other.

• When draining dispersion condensate to an open drain, provide a 1"

(25 mm) air gap between the condensate drain piping and the drain.

Locate the gap only in spaces with adequate temperature and air movement

to absorb ﬂash steam; otherwise, condensation may form on nearby

surfaces.
