The Neptronic SKG has the World's smallest footprint of any gas-fired humidifier. A 100kg/h unit has a footprint of just 610mm by 560mm making it ideal for plant rooms where space is at a premium.
It has also been designed with maintenance in mind. Every steam humidifier builds up scale, when run from mains water, as the minerals present in the water are left behind during evaporation. Scale build-up in the SKG is absolutely minimised by the patented spiral heat exchanger. This unique design expands and contracts significantly during operation, which literally cracks the scale from the surface to keep the heat exchanger clean and fully efficient. The result is a marked contrast to the performance of flat or tubular heat exchangers.
Scale is either washed away during flush cycles or accumulates as fragments in the bottom of the boiling tank. Periodically, the tank needs to be removed to empty out the scale fragments. Again, the SKG’s unique design takes account of this. There’s a quick-release mechanism on the boiling tank to allow it to be lowered, removed and emptied of scale in less than five minutes. It also makes manual handling safer and minimises the space needed around the unit for maintenance.
