Royal Sussex County Hospital
Three Condair EL steam humidifiers are supplying up to 80kg/h of hygienic steam humidification to two AHU's serving test labs in the radiology department.Space was a challenge during the project, as the AHU humidifier sections are relatively short in length. The steam needed to be introduced to the ducts, with a low airspeed of around 1m/s, and be fully absorbed into the air before it met a filter just 1m downstream.This was no problem for the Condair Optisorp steam manifold though. One of these rapid evaporation steam lances is introducing up to 30kg/h with full evaporation in just 25cms, whilst another is delivering up to 50kg/h of steam in just 34cms.
