Preview • Project Background • PDS Summary • Previous Design • Steam Injection: advantages and disadvantages. • Water Atomization: advantages and disadvantages. • Current Design: Stulz-Ultrasonic Humidifier. • Questions
Project Background • Objective: • Produce a retrofit-able sealant oven capable of controlling humidity and temperature that allows for more efficient flow control • Current Methods: • Large size - inefficient flow control • Anchored to floor - Costly to move
PDS Summary • Performance • RH 50 ± 5% @130 ± 5 o F • Un-Plumbed • Ergonomics • < 35 lbm supply
Previous Design Atomizing Water Method: • Advantages • Inexpensive • Suitable for lower temperature and lower humidity • Disadvantages • Droplet/moisture formation • Temperature change
Previous Design Cont. Steam Injection Method: • Advantages • Higher RH (100%) • Dry process • No temperature change • Disadvantages • Delay initial steam supply • More complex design • Expensive (steam generator) • Mass Flow rate from 4 lbm/hr to 60 lbm/hr
Estimate Pressure In Operating Oven State 1: (Room condition) • P1,a= 101.33 Kpa • T1 = 25oC = 278.15 K • RH = 65% • P*Air (25oC) = 3.17 kPa • V1 = 36 ft3 = 1.02 m3 State 2: (Required condition) • Poven = ? • T2 = 57oC = 330.15 K • RH = 50% • P*Air (57oC)=17.85 kPa • V2 =18 ft3 =0.51m3 Poven = 471 kPa
Estimate The Flow Rate of Steam Assume: • Curing products occupied 50% volume • V1= 1.02 m3 V2= 0.51 m3 • P1= 103.39 kPa P2= 471.00 kPa • RH = 65% RH = 50% • T1 = 298.15 K T2 = 330.15 K Mass flow rate: 1.52 lbm/hr
Current design Stulz-Ultrasonic Humidifiers Advantages: • Very fine mist • Small size (10.71” x 8.27”) • Long service life • Mass Flow Rate up to 4 lbm/hr
Current Progress Humidifier Design: Including on board water tank, fan and controls
