Operation
How electrically operated units work.
After passing through the Armstrong inline
strainer, steam enters the cast iron steam-
separating chamber. The use of cast iron
as a separator is probably the single most
important feature in the Armstrong humidi-
fi er design.
The preferred material of strength and
durability, case iron gives Series 9000
humidifi ers fl exibility in design without
fabrication. In addition, castings mean
better heat retention because of thicker
walls. Which in turn means a lower rate of
condensation.
Entering the main separating chamber,
steam encounters a cupped baffl e which
reverses its fl ow and turns it back on itself.
The outer walls of the casting form another
cup, and the same thing happens again.
These two 180° turns help condition the
steam, reducing its volume and separating
the condensate from the vapor. Conden-
sate from supply and radiation and most of
the particulates in the steam not removed
by the strainer collect in the large drain leg
and are discharged through the inverted
bucket drain trap.
Steam from the separating chamber fl ows
around and through the solenoid valve
which is actuated by a demand signal from
the humidistat. (Solenoid can be ex-
changed for electric or pneumatic control
if desired by choosing an operator and
bonnet assembly).
Next the steam fl ows into the drying cham-
ber which is jacketed by the separating
chamber. The drying chamber is fi lled with
a stainless steel silencing material which
almost completely absorbs the noise of
escaping steam. Dispersion is through a
jet nozzle or by a fan.
How air-operated units work.
Air-operated units operate in the same
manner as electric units except that they

utilize a pneumatic humidistat as humidity controller in the space and an
air operator to open and close the steam valve.
Explosion hazard humidifi cation.
Sizing air-operated humidifi ers for areas where an explosion hazard ex-
ists is done exactly as for other requirements except that they should be
sized for the most severe conditions of makeup air, RH required and
minimum steam pressure.
