Your HygroMatik team

The role of operational managing director has passed from Mr Dirc Menssing to Mr Rolf Oberhaus with effect from 30 January 2023.

Mr Oberhaus, currently also Managing Director of Klingenburg GmbH, will in future manage both companies with the aim of developing the best possible synergies within the technical, sales and production structures of the group.

In order to bundle the strengths of the companies associated in the CAREL Group in the field of air humidification, the CAREL Humidification Division was already founded in 2021 under the leadership of Mr Michele Martello. Mr Oberhaus will therefore also lead the further integration of the group companies HygroMatik and Klingenburg into this division.

Mr Oberhaus will contribute his passion and enthusiasm, together with his considerable managerial expertise in order to strengthen our business partnership in the long term and to jointly develop new growth potential for your business development.

Your familiar HygroMatik contact persons will of course continue to be available to you as usual.

Background:

Drinking water contains minerals in more or less high concentrations, which usually precipitate when heated. In order to keep the cleaning effort of the steam humidifier as low as possible, there are two possibilities for water treatment:

• Operation with deionised water from a reverse osmosis system with approx. 3..20 μS/cm residual conductivity (full desalination)

Result: almost no minerals are deposited here, as about 99% of them are removed from the water, the humidifiers are operated with extremely low maintenance

• Operation on soft water from a softening plant with a residual hardness of 0 °e (full softening)

Result: Minerals can be deposited here, but these are usually not hardness formers, so that although salt deposits occur more frequently, they can be rinsed out via an increased blowdown rate before they are deposited as incrustations of the heating elements or on the cylinder base and walls.

Explanation:

In a health centre HygroMatik test units StandardLine Heater have been running since 2015: here, we were essentially concerned with experiences with new heaters, which have since been incorporated into series production. At the same time, a test operation was set up here on a single softening system to determine experiences with the effect on the service life of heater type humidifiers and the extension of the maintenance cycles during operation on soft water with positive results.

The two pictures of the opened cylinder of the StandardLine Heater field tester and the 3 heating elements after about 2 tons of steam produced at about 2/3 Ø load look almost unused:

• The Incoloy heater elements show no deposits
• The lower part of the cylinder is very clean and shows only minimal deposits

These experiences from 2016 have since been confirmed during the regular inspections.

The water quality in the health centre is in the "hard water" range, with a total hardness of 18,8 °e, a carbonate hardness of about 26,3 °e and a conductivity of about 850 μS/cm. The minerals present in the water precipitate during evaporation and usually collect on the hot surfaces or sink to the bottom. On average, about 400 to 800 mg/l dry residues can be expected in "hard" water, which would correspond to about 0.4 to 0.8 kg of deposits in the cylinder per ton of unpressurised steam produced, depending on the set blowdown.

Conclusion:

In our estimation, softening can often significantly reduce maintenance costs compared to operation with drinking water, and at the same time the investments are usually significantly lower than those for a reverse osmosis system including softening. If required, we would be pleased to support you in the selection of a technical-economical solution for optimised operation of steam humidifiers.

Energy Saving - Insulating - Protective

The thermo collar for all stainless steel cylinders of the FlexLine Plus/Process heater type steam humidifiers.

To keep the heat radiation of the stainless steel steam cylinders as low as possible, the thermo collar provides additional insulation. Benefit from saved heat radiation, a delayed cooling process and comfortable protection against contact.

Learn more about HyTherm.

If the two protection and safety functions HyFlush (cylinder flushing device) and HyCool (integrated waste water cooling) are installed and activated in your FlexLine unit, the cylinder, the supply lines and the waste water pipes are optimally protected around the clock. You save time and money due to extended operating times and less maintenance, and also achieve maximum hygiene through effective and regular cleaning.

In addition, also stub line flushing is possible, which prevents contamination of the supply line by standing water during longer idle periods.

Learn more about the FlexLine options here.

At our new digital HygroMatik trade fair stand, we will provide you with information on the subject of HEALTHY INDOOR AIR and present a selection of our product range for the generation of optimum indoor air humidity in many areas of application.
The indoor climate not only influences our well-being but also our health and performance. Healthy and hygienic indoor air is an important issue for many people, especially in times of pandemics. By ensuring an indoor air humidity of between 40 and 60% all year round, many negative phenomena caused by excessively dry air can be counteracted.
Visit our digital exhibition stand at https://showroom.hygromatik.com/tour/en/index.htm

At the Chair of Building and Indoor Climate Technology, E.ON Energy Research Centre, RWTH Aachen University, a comprehensive study in German was published at the end of February 2021 on the topic of "The influence of air humidity on people and their health": https://publications.rwth-aachen.de/record/811532/files/811532.pdf
In summary, the study is about determining the optimum air humidity for humans in closed rooms.

Adiabatic comfort and process humidification and cooling

Our optimised adiabatic nozzle systems LPS and HPS humidify the air in air conditioning and ventilation systems hygienically and energy-efficiently. They thus ensure both the optimum relative humidity of the room air (comfort zone 40-60%) in e.g. offices, shopping centres and clean rooms as well as stable manufacturing conditions in production facilities. In addition, the evaporation of the fine mist cools the flowing air in the duct and can thus be used cost-effectively as exhaust air cooling in summer or to reduce process waste heat. High-precision stainless steel nozzles produce the finest aerosols, which are mixed with the duct air on the shortest humidification distance with the help of specially developed VortexModules. Due to the fast and efficient absorption, there is virtually no water loss. A stainless steel aerosol separator installed after humidification ensures aerosol-free supply air.
The modular design of the LPS and HPS humidification systems allows installation or retrofitting in almost any air-conditioning duct. With a total of 5 performance classes, they can be perfectly matched to any humidification need. LPS and HPS meet the hygiene requirements and are certified by TÜV according to VDI 6022.

Simply Ingenious and Rewarded Several Times: FlexLine Is Product of the Year at the Plus X Award.

With the Plus X Award 2018, the new FlexLine from HygroMatik receives another very special seal of quality – in several categories even. For 15 years, renowned industry experts from publishing houses and companies have honoured outstanding products with this Award for their lead in quality and innovation. Now the new, innovative FlexLine series from HygroMatik has been awarded in three categories: high quality, ease of use and functionality. This means that FlexLine has won the most award categories of all participating products and was therefore also voted "Best Product of the Year 2018" by the Plus X Award jury. The entire FlexLine series was consistently developed as a modular system. Starting from a basic model, the units can be expanded with options suitable for the respective application and thus easily adapted to every requirement.

We are of course very pleased about this success, which once again proves that the concept of the FlexLine modular principle has been positively received in the market.

Saves space and energy
Actuator with key function: The actuator is a central base element in the HygroMatik pressurised steam humidifier (DDS). It controls the regulating valve and so controls the volume of steam fed in.

The new actuator for HygroMatik pressurised steam humidifiers has an extremely convincing output, and a very special design: The compact, light, space-saving device facilitates fast, simple fitting of the actuator is a tight installation space. Another benefit: The new actuator is relatively undemanding in terms of energy consumption, and its 24 V AC/DC low voltage also makes it safer during installation and maintenance.

Another great example of the way HygroMatik works to continually improve quality, right down to the smallest detail.

Protecting drinking water
According to DIN EN 1717, the drinking water network should be protected from contamination by water back-flow using appropriate system separators. For steam air humidifiers or steam generators which are connected to a waste water line using a free outlet (funnel), HygroMatik has brought a system separator type CA into the range, which is specially aligned with their products.

The new system separator type CA from HygroMatik means that installers and operators alike can be sure that this system separator meets all the requirements in the industry standard. This means you can guarantee optimum protection of drinking water, regardless of the pre-installation on-site!

The HygroMatik system separator type CA is available now, product code E-2604100.

An ideal connection
Optimising quality always means paying particular attention to detail. Small, targeted improvements can have a major effect. For example, in HygroMatik steam distributors - the fixing nut has changed from a welded nut to a rivet nut. The benefits are clear: As well as the increased security of the connection due to the significant higher load capacity, the welded nut no longer goes over the steam distributors nominal size.

One more important detail: The design of the hole for the steam escape holes has been changed. The holes have been more densely packed, to stop the steam condensing on the channel wall.
