1. INTRODUCTION

The NHTC humidifier is controlled by Nortec’s Patented Auto adaptive Water Management Control System. This system allows the humidifiers to adapt to basically any potable incoming water and changes that occur to the water supply. This eliminates the need to readjust drain timers, changes complete cylinders or time consuming adjustment of electrode spacing’s. The system also adjusts the drain rate of the humidifier to reduce the amount of drain water exiting the humidifier as water conditions change. This reduces energy loss due to excessive draining of hot water and extends cylinder life since less water and minerals enter the humidifier.

The following is a brief description of how the Auto-Adaptive water Management System works.

The electrode steam system produces pure uncontaminated steam with variable output through electronic power control of the electrodes. Water borne minerals remain in the cylinder and are periodically flushed out through the automatic cylinder drain. On NHTC and NHPC models the drain automatically empties the steam cylinder if it is not operated for three days. Solid mineral scale sinks to the bottom of the cylinder which, when filled with residue, is easily removed and replaced.

A.PROPORTIONAL + INTEGRAL AUTO-ADAPTIVE CONTROL SYSTEM FOR THE NHTC/ NHPC

(1)NORTEC’s patented P+I Auto-Adaptive control system allows the unit to operate at an optimal low water level using the same fixed electrode spacing regardless of the incoming water conditions. Boiling of the water allows the minerals in the water to remain behind in the cylinder. This raises the contained water conductivity to a value higher than the incoming water. The P+I Auto-Adaptive control system monitors and adjusts the contained water conductivity as these changes occur.

(2)The humidifiers are designed to produce full steam output at the lowest possible electrode coverage to obtain maximum cylinder life.

(3)The units operate between A and D of the main steam output demand. Accordingly, the current flow between the electrodes in the cylinder is maintained between these pre-established limits programmed into the P+I Auto-Adaptive control system.

(4)As the water boils away and the electrode coverage is reduced, the steam output is also reduced slightly. A pre-determined design parameter of every NORTEC cylinder is the known time (To) (time optimum) that it takes to boil down from A to D of output (also referenced to as amp trigger points) at a pre-designed contained water conductivity. (See Figure 2.)

(5)Whenever the conductivity in the cylinder water is lower than the designed conductivity, the (Ta) (time actual) to boil down from A to D will be longer than the To. (See Figure 3.)
