Dristeem Electrode Steam Humidifier - XTR 003 - For Indoor Use

DriSteem XTR humidifiers are ideal for finished spaces and applications where space is limited. Electrical and plumbing connections are easily accessible for hassle-free installation. The DriSteem XTR electrode steam humidifier provides humidification for a wide range of buildings, including residential and light commercial applications. The XTR electrode humidifier uses heat caused by electrical resistance in conductive fill water to boil the water into steam. Automatic drain and fill cycles keep electrical current within demand parameters, based on water conditions and steam production.

Why humidify?

• Improve Indoor Air Quality
  • Keeping RH levels within a range of 40 to 60 decreases bacteria and viruses in the air and hinders the development of fungi, mites, chemical interactions, and ozone production. The result is reduced occurrences of allergic rhinitis, respiratory infections, and asthma among building occupants.
• Reduce Problems Associated With Static Electricity
  • The benefits of properly maintained relative humidity can be felt as well as seen: Along with enhancing health and improving comfort, humidity in the air harmlessly dissipates static electricity. Static charges give shocks, attract dust to surfaces, and cause static cling in apparel and draperies. Maintaining RH levels within a range of 30 to 60 per cent will significantly reduce problems associated with static electricity.
• Preserve Materials And Furnishings
  • Many building materials, finishes, and furnishings are hygroscopic — they absorb, retain, and release moisture. Low RH levels cause expensive damage to building interiors because as hygroscopic materials dry, they shrink. This can create gaps in wallpaper seams, floorboards, and furniture joints, and it can damage historic and artistic artifacts. Fluctuating RH levels can also cause damage. Maintain a consistent RH level to keep the moisture content of hygroscopic materials in equilibrium with their surrounding environments.
• Improve Comfort
  • Also hygroscopic in nature, the human body gives up its moisture to dry air. As our body’s moisture migrates (evaporates) to areas of low RH, we become cooled, just as when we perspire. Raising the RH level in a room slows the evaporation rate and will make the room feel warmer. This allows dropping the dry-bulb temperature without a loss in comfort, offsetting humidification energy costs.

Features

Affordable To Buy, Economical To Operate

• Low up-front cost and minimal maintenance make XTR one of the most affordable humidification systems to purchase and install. XTR works with tap or softened water conductivity from 350 to 1250 μS/cm.

Easy To Operate

• The XTR electrode steam humidifier automatically makes steam when the humidity level drops. At the end of the humidification season, after the system has been idle for 72 hours, the humidifier drains automatically and remains in standby until the next humidification season. 

Easy To Maintain - Just Replace The Cylinder

• The XTR humidifier is easy to maintain. Just replace the steam cylinder when prompted. All water impurities and minerals remain in the cylinder, and there are no messy evaporator pads to replace or tanks to clean.

Disperse Steam Into Ductwork Or Open Spaces

• Disperse steam into existing heating ducts using a steam hose and a dispersion tube connected to the humidifier. Steam exits the dispersion tube without dripping or spitting, preventing condensate from collecting in the duct. Quietly disperse steam into the finished open space with the XTR steam blower mounted remotely or on top of the humidifier, or use the XTR fan pack, mounted on the wall.

Specification

Capacity depends on the voltage connected to the humidifier. Power connection points are easily accessed.

Voltage @ 120

• Input Power: 1.38kW
• Nominal current draw: 11.5amps
• Nominal steam capacity: 4.0 lbs/h | 1.8 kg/h
• Maximum humidified space: 3000 ft²  | 278m²
• Maximum Water usage per day: 11.5 Gallons | 43.5 L

Voltage @ 208

• Input Power: 2.39kW
• Nominal current draw: 11.5amps
• Nominal steam capacity: 7.1 lbs/h | 3.2 kg/h
• Maximum humidified space: 5400 ft²  | 501m²
• Maximum Water usage per day: 20.5 Gallons | 77.6 L

Voltage @ 240

• Input Power: 2.76kW
• Nominal current draw: 11.5amps
• Nominal steam capacity: 8.1 lbs/h | 3.6 kg/h
• Maximum humidified space: 6200 ft²  | 575m²
• Maximum Water usage per day: 23.3 Gallons | 88.2 L

Notes:

• Maximum humidified space size based on 1/2 air change per hour (which is considered tight construction), outside air temp 0 °F (-18 °C) at 80% RH, indoor air 72 °F (22.2 °C) humidified to 30% RH, 8' (2.44 m) ceilings. A building with more air changes per hour will have a smaller maximum humidified space than those listed above.
• See the XTR Humidifier IOM for complete product specifications.
• Recommended supply water conductivity is 350 to 1250 μS/cm (roughly comparable to water hardness of 10 to 36 grains per gallon).
