TrueSTEAM™ Overview


TrueSTEAM™ Overview

• Quantum Leap in Application and Performance.

• Eliminates dealers’ #1 callback – can’t reach set-point!

• Installs faster than bypass – can be mounted in under 5 minutes!

• Can be installed remotely – up to 20 feet from HVAC equipment with remote mount hose.

• More control options for every user.

• 1:1 Humidification Delivery Rate (all water into air).

The Truth About Humidification Delivery

• Many humidifier manufacturers list output capacity in gallons per day (GPD), or the amount of moisture they can deliver in a 24-hour period while the furnace is running (plenum temp 120F-140F).

• But how do you know which ones really work and if a home is getting enough moisture?

Comparing humidification delivery is a great place to start.

Comparing humidification delivery is a great place to start.




•Typically, the GPD claim is based on a home’s heating equipment running 100% of the time, for 24 hours a day at 120˚F.

•Since evaporative humidifiers are delivering 100% of this humidity output only when the furnace is running (and no furnace runs full-time), they rarely deliver more than 1-gallon of humidified air for every FOUR gallons they use.

•In other words, for every 1 gallon humidified, 3 gallons are being wasted down the drain!



• Added to this are portable humidifiers that only humidify in the room which they are located, not the whole house. They also need to be constantly re-filled with water, which can be a hassle.

• TrueSTEAM™ offers the most reliable, efficient levels of moisture because of its near 1:1 humidification delivery rate, regardless of equipment operation.

The Truth About Evaporative• Another factor limiting today’s evaporative humidifier is that

HVAC equipment is changing.

- Dealers are selling more:High efficiency - 90-95% furnacesHeat pumpsVariable speed

• Equipment changes negatively impact evaporative humidifier performance.

The Truth About Evaporative

• Because equipment is running less and at lower temperatures, a capacity rating of 18 GPD on the box is closer to 6 GPD actual output delivery.

•Plus, for every gallon evaporated, up to 3 gallons is wasted down the drain, which can increase homeowner water bills and is not an eco-friendly option.

•What does this mean over a 5-month heating season? See below…


So why are evaporative so popular?

• Today’s evaporative humidifiers are flexible…- High familiarity with contractors. 30+ year old

technology.

- Have high reliability

- Can be installed at a much lower cost than steam

- Install quickly

• …but bypass flow through humidifiers also experience issues- Reduced output due to equipment changes

- Require large sections of available ducting and open space to install

- Require the heat to be on in order to deliver humidity

The Truth About Last-Generation Steam

• GREAT PERFORMANCE- Today’s steam humidifiers offer

great benefits…- More output - Humidity on demand – when you

need it by activating equipment- Reduced water consumption

• POOR RELIABILITY- Steam units have had reliability

issues with sticking floats, burning heating elements and difficult maintenance

- Can be difficult to install - leaves many opportunities on the table

Revolutionizing Steam Humidification

• The world of heating and cooling equipment is vastly different today than it was even a few years ago, with the trend towards high-efficiency, variable speed, dual-fuel and heat pump systems.

• Because of how these systems operate, yesterday's humidifiers often fail to deliver the humidification that homeowners desire. You told us that you needed a humidification system that operated independently of equipment.


Breakthrough Technology

• TrueSTEAM™ takes the best features from current steam humidifiers with their efficiency, performance and decreased water consumption, and combines it with the ease of installation, reliability and value of flow-through humidifiers.

• TrueSTEAM is different from others because it operates independent of equipment operation. And, with its near 1:1 humidification delivery rate, TrueSTEAM delivers the right amount of humidification to keep your customers satisfied.


TrueSTEAM™ Features & Benefits

Non-Stick Heating Element – Made of Incoloy 600 – a non-stick material that inhibits material build-up.

Fail-Safe Water Sensing – Multiple sensors sit in a separate compartment to accurately monitor water levels.

Application Flexibility – Steam can be delivered up to 20 ft away from the humidifier accessing attics, crawl spaces, tight closets, etc.

Common-Sense Interface – LEDs indicate operating status and provide feedback for installation, maintenance, and troubleshooting.


TrueSTEAM™ Features & Benefits

Mounts in Minutes – Requires only a 1 ¾” cut into ductwork and mounts on easy install bracket for accurate leveling.

Condensate Collect Dome & Beveled Nozzle – Prevents water from entering the ductwork, only evaporated steam enters the airflow.

Clean, Professional Installation – Push terminals for easy wiring and wires routed through interior harness for a clean look.

Easy Maintenance – No tools required to access and clean tank.


Choice of Control Options

• TrueSTEAM™ comes with a control option to fit virtually every application and budget.

• Choose from the robust all-in-one control of the VisionPRO IAQ, the unique integrated control of the TrueIAQ Digital Control or the easy to use H8908 manual humidity control.

• The next slide will go through the features of each control.
