Condair ESCO Live Steam Distribution System

Q: What is the Condair ESCO Live Steam Humidifier?

The ESCO humidifier is an ultra precise live steam distribution system that connects directly to a building’s central steam boiler. It delivers dry, condensate free steam into ducts or Air Handling Units (AHUs), making it a unique and reliable solution for commercial and industrial humidification.

Q: Does the Condair ESCO require special live steam quality?

Yes, to humidify the air using a Condair ESCO pressurized steam distribution system, you need flawless, clean pressurized steam without any chemical additives.

Q: How does the Condair ESCO prevent spitting or condensation inside ducts?

The innovative steam nozzles extract steam exclusively from the condensate-free core flow. Short humidification distances are crucial for reliable and hygienic steam air humidification. In HVAC systems, steam clouds must not come into contact with air duct fittings. This would result in damp areas, water accumulation, and hygiene risks.

Rotary Disk Valve

ESCO’s rotary disc valve ensures 100% tight shut-off, preventing steam leakage when humidity is not required. Its self-adjusting, low-wear design guarantees long service life and precise control for consistent, energy-efficient performance.

Short Absorption Distance

ESCO’s shortest steam absorption distance enables rapid humidity integration into the air stream, minimising duct length requirements. This ensures space-saving installation, prevents condensation, and delivers precise, efficient humidity control even in compact air handling systems.

Steam Distribution Nozzles

ESCO’s steam distribution nozzles provide uniform, turbulence-free steam dispersion directly into the air stream. Their precision-engineered design ensures rapid absorption without condensation, delivering consistent humidity while maintaining hygiene and energy efficiency.

Valve body structure

The rotary valve closes completely tight and operates precisely.

ESCO DL40

With one, two, or three horizontal steam distributors, the DL40 can be adapted very flexibly to the air duct system. This allows for a high degree of freedom in terms of steam output.
