Maximum comfort with steam humidification

Image
Steam generator humidifiers use an external energy source, electricity or gas, to take water to boiling point, thus producing steam. The choice of the type of energy depends on availability, cost and the investment necessary. The humidifier can use mains water; a solution that minimizes the cost of the system but which requires periodical maintenance in order to remove the mineral salts that accumulate or, more simply, to replace the cylinders (humidifiers with electrode technology) so as to minimize system shutdown periods and maintenance costs. The steam produced by boiling is easily injected inside the air handling unit, requiring a small space for complete absorption. The space required can be reduced using latest generation products such as the ultimateSAM, fitted with nozzles that evenly distribute "dry" steam only. Alternatively, humidification can be applied directly in the environment with steam distributors fitted with fans, a simple method often used in existi...

The structure and modularity of the pGD family displays always ensure the right solution for different requirements in therms of performance, cost and appearance. The new pGD Touch range had been designed for high level applications that require touchscreen technology combined with an elegant design and extensive connectivity possibilities. The pGD1-pGDe series is focused on applications that require a good compromise between performance, competitiveness and appearance.  The pLD series (programmable LED display) is ideal for applications where the main requirements of the user interface are reduction in costs and the space required for installation. The th-Tune series room terminals have been designed as simplified and intuitive interfaces, particularly suitable for end users. Design and technology The pGD Touch series interfaces represent the most high-tech Carel product offering in this area. The TFT full touchscreen display with 65000 colors and WVGA r...

e-dronic

Image
Integrated communication between chillers and fan coils is an increasingly important requirement for manufacturers of these air-conditioning units . Carel has taken up the challenge of joining and combining these two different elements, offering its customers a solution that is easy to manage, ensures increased indoor comfort and considerable energy saving. e-dronic is a system of user interfaces, I/O boards and accessories for managing and controlling chiller/fan coil systems. e-dronic is compatible with the already established pCO platform, and exploits its advantages in terms of flexibility. Hardware architecture Zone Broadcast Zone broadcast is the typical solution for single offices and small shops that require a limited number of fan coils per zone, and where the zones do not necessarily need to communicate with one another or with a centralised supervisory system. The communication protocol used is based on a broadcast approach, therefore all the slave units follow c...

Temperature, humidity and pressure controls solutions

Image
Carel offers increasingly advanced solutions in the field of parametric controllers for HVAC/R applications. Specific commitment is dedicated to universal controllers , which provide the user with a powerful and flexible instrument that can easily be configured. Starting from extremely simple control strategies the user can, by modifying just a few parameters, adopt control algorithms that are much more sophisticated and innovative, for example PID with AutoTuning. The comtool software can be used to configure the parameters on the controllers directly from a personal computer. Simple installation is also an important factor, both as regards assembly and wiring, using standard templates and quick connectors. Finally, all universal controllers can interface with Carel supervisory systems and open supervisory systems.

compactSteam

compactSteam is the Carel proposal for the humidification of prestigious residential environments,  professional offices or small and medium retail premises. compactSteam is an immersed electrode humidifier , with following main features: elegant and discrete design, ideal for installation in any environment; built-in steam distributor, with adjustable louvers and very silent operation; large graphic LCD for straightforward understanding; market-leading functionality, safety and user friendliness; models from 1.6 to 5.4 kg/h; electrical and water connections can be completely concealed from view, and drain water temperature never exceeds 60°C. In addition, if no humidification is required for more than 3 consecutive days, the water is automatically drained for maximum hygiene. A version without built-in distributor is also available, for steam distribution in the duct, as well as a remote blower, which allows steam to be distributed in a different room from wher...

ChillBooster

Image
ChillBooster is made up of a pumping station and a water distribution and atomisation system: an electrical panel for ON/OFF control of capacity; a pump power supply solenoid valve; inlet water pressure switch; an impeller pump with incorporated pressure adjustment valve calibrated at 10 bars; outlet pressure gauge; high temperature protection heating valve; drain solenoid valve for unit shutdown; modular stainless steel manifolds with 20 mm diameter; atomiser nozzles; distribution system drain solenoid valves, at line end; corrugated steel flexible connection hoses; metal compression fittings; UV system for cleaning and disinfecting water inside the cabinet (optional). The pumping station is available in two versions: stainless steel version for demineralised water (recommended), or version for normal water with brass pump. Supply and top-up water ChillBooster can operate with untreated drinking water and with demineralised water. Following the evaporati...
