Steam Injection humidifiers suitable for a wide range of applications
DRI-STEEM’s Steam Injection humidifiers use steam from an
external source, such as an in-house boiler or a district steam
system. They are adaptable to virtually any size application, and
a wide variety of models accommodate a broad range of steam
absorption requirements. All humidifiers shown in this catalog,
except Area-type humidifiers, are available as either standard or
Clean-steem models. Area-type humidifiers are not available as

unit. Clean-steem humidifiers are typically used in environments with
exacting temperature, air cleanliness, and humidity requirements
such as hospitals, clean rooms, laboratories, and pharmaceutical
plants.
Clean-steem humidifiers are available in a wide range of capacities,
valve options, and configurations. See the opposite page for a
description of Clean-steem features. See individual Steam Injection
model descriptions for capacities.

Figure 6-1:
Steam Injection humidifier principle of operation
1. Boiler steam enters the humidifier at line pressure and flows through a chamber (jacket) surrounding an inner
dispersion tube. This steam jacketing preheats the dispersion tube so that when steam enters the dispersion tube (at
Step 5 below) it does not condense as it would if the tube were cold, thereby eliminating condensation and dripping.
2. After flowing through the steam jacketing chamber, steam with entrained condensate slows from entering the larger
space of the separator and from hitting the perimeter deflector plate, and begins to spin and separate.
3. Separated steam rises through slots in the multi-baffle plate to the separator upper region, and enters the internal
drying tube that excludes any remaining condensate, allowing only dry steam to leave the separator.
4. Separated condensate drains from the separator to the steam trap.
5. The steam valve controls the amount of steam allowed into the preheated dispersion tube. The steam valve is typically
controlled in one of three ways:

6. Steam is discharged uniformly through the tubelets into the airstream.

The Area-type humidifier is designed for open spaces, such as Area-type humidifier
warehouses and manufacturing spaces, that do not have a duct
system. The steam discharged from the humidifier is dispersed by
the fan. The Area-type humidifier quietly distributes steam without
introducing water into the air.
Application note
Steam discharged from the humidifier turns into a fog that is
lighter than air. Should this fog contact any solid surface before it is
