The Steam Humidifier delivers humidity in the form of steam to the
conditioned space via the HVAC system duct or optional Model S1-854Y
Fan Pack. The humidifier generates steam by energizing two electrodes
that extend into a canister of water. Current flowing between the
electrodes causes the water to boil, creating steam. Water is introduced
to the humidifier through a fill valve to a fill cup located in the top of the
cabinet. The fill cup serves as an overflow reservoir and provides an air
gap between the humidifier and water source. The steam canister is filled
from the bottom. The canister is seated in a drain cup assembly which
includes a drain valve. The drain and fill valves work together to maintain
water level in the canister to deliver the rated steam capacity based on
the electrical conductivity of the water and to temper drain water. See
Figure 1 for representation of fill and drain system and canister.
Steam is delivered into the airstream through a dispersion tube mounted
in the HVAC system ductwork. Openings in the dispersion tube are fitted
with “tubelets” which extend into the center of the tube. The design of the
dispersion tube and tubelets distribute steam over a wide area in the duct
and direct any condensed moisture back into the steam hose.

consistent performance. See page 10.
Please take a few minutes and read this booklet. This will familiarize
you with the benefits you will receive from the humidifier and help you
understand the routine maintenance that will be required.
INTRODUCTION
Replacement Model S1-8044 Steam Canisters are available from
your installing contractor or from most other heating and air
conditioning contractors in your area. Look in the Yellow Pages
under Humidifying Apparatus or Heating & Air Conditioning
Contractors.
SEQUENCE OF OPERATION
When the Humidifier Control detects humidity below the set point,
and provided the humidifier is turned on and the indoor unit blower is
operating, the internal controller in the humidifier energizes the electrodes
and measures the current flowing through the water between them. The
controller adjusts water level in the canister via a fill valve and a drain
valve to maintain a constant current. The operating water level in the
canister depends on the mineral content of the water which determines
conductivity.
A relay is provided with the humidifier that will allow the control to turn
on the indoor unit blower when a call is made for humidity.
