Introduction

CAUTION: Servicing

Disconnect main power before performing any servicing.

The plumbing and electrical compartments contain high voltage components and

wiring. Access should be limited to authorized personnel only.

During and following operation of the humidifier, the steam and components in

contact with the steam such as the steam lines, steam distributors, cylinders, and

condensate lines can become hot and can burn if touched.

Walter Meier does not accept any liability for improperly installed humidity

equipment or the use of parts/components/equipment that are not authorized or

approved by Walter Meier.

CAUTION: Electrical

All electrical work should in accordance with the local electrical code in location

where the humidifier will finally be operated.

CAUTION: Plumbing

Drain water from humidifier can be very hot. Do not drain to public sink.

All plumbing work should be in accordance with local plumbing code in location

where the humidifier will finally be operated.

CAUTION: Installation

Do not mount on hot surfaces

Do not mount in area where freezing can occur

Do not mount on vibrating surface

The MES2 produces steam at atmospheric pressure. No devices which could block

steam output should be connected to the steam outlet.

Steam lines must be installed so that no restriction can produce backpressure in

the humidifier.

Regardless of selecting on/off or modulating control method, Nortec humidifiers

must have a closed circuit across its on/off security loop control terminal to

operate. Nortec highly recommends the use of a duct high limit humidistat and air

proving switch.

MES2 Models

The MES2 is the most advanced OEM steam humidifier available and provides steady and

reliable humidification using the same proven cylinder technology as Nortec’s commercial

NHTC. The MES2 is offered in 5 models corresponding to control configurations as shown in

Figure 2. The remote configurations include 8 ft (2.4 m) of wiring for connecting the controls

to the plumbing cabinet. The Primary Voltage Wiring (PVW) model provides 8 feet of primary

wiring for connection to the contactor.

Figure 2: MES2 Models

The MES2 is available in 6 capacities ranging from 5 to 30 lb/hr (2.3 to 13.6 kg/hr) for

operation on a range of voltages and phases as outlined in Table 1: MES2 Part Numbers and

Electrical Data. The 6 capacities are packaged in 4 different cabinet sizes as shown in Figure 3.
