Location of the humidifier in an air conditioning system
Reference the following systems for humidifier location:
Up flow affect
The up flow affect is a result of the air velocity versus the steam velocity leaving the orifices of
the distributor.
The air velocity is a product of the volume flow rate through a present cross sectional area. The
steam velocity leaving the orifices is directly proportional on the internal pressure, inside the
distribution tube. This pressure is reduced when two or more distributors are in use.
The following up flow guidelines has been established from testing:
Velocity
Inlet Steam Pressure
Up Flow Distance
500
15
2 ft
1000
15
1 ft
500
30
4 ft
1000

2 ft
These up flow distances are only guidelines. Every application presents a multitude of variables
which may shorten or lengthen the up flow distance. The location of the distributor may need to
be changed if condensation occurs.
