With rising energy costs and the current focus on resource conservation, manufacturer and developer of industrial and commercial humidification systems Dri-Steem has developed a new humidification option – new, high efficiency dispersion tubes for its Ultra-sorb and Rapid-sorb steam dispersion systems, to be shown at Healthcare Ireland on the Intelligent Building Controls stand.
The savings from insulated tubes can, Dri-Steem says, provide ROI in less than a year for electric humidification systems, and within 18 months for natural gas systems. “Substantial” cost-saving improvements are achieved via the reduction of the dispersion tubes’ thermal conductivity with polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), an advanced insulation that meets stringent duct/AHU requirements. This robust insulating material is fire/smoke plenum rated and supports continuous temperatures of 149°C. The closed cell technology will not absorb water or support microbial growth.
