HGA-M-01 Superheated Steam-Air-Gas Generator

HGA-M-01 Superheated Steam-Air-Gas Generator

THE HGA-M-01 is a unique device that provides low to high humidity air or gases like CO2, N2, Ar, and He mixture with H2O. The maximum power is 1KW for this unit. A high-temperature superheated mix of steam-air or steam-gas output. Note that the parameters for air and steam are given in the Unit Features tab. The unit has adjustable humidity.

The high humidity steam/air mixtures will have varying temperatures depending on the mix. Please review unit features in the adjacent tab.

Superheated steam is an odorless high-temperature gas (not to be confused with hot water mist). OPUMP-1 (water pump) is highly recommended for metering the water flow. Several more options are available and recommended. The airflow control option (flow meter) is generally required. 

The BPAN-O-PLUS option is required only if power adjustment is contemplated. Please ensure minimum air and water flow to prevent burnout without the power controller in use.

• Voltage: 110VAC (please note that a t 220-110V transformer is provided for countries where 110V is not standard). Please indicate the request on the pull-down menu in selected options. The transformer can be used with the BPAN-O-PLUS models regardless of choice, i.e., BPAN-O-PLUS (110/115) or BPAN-O-PLUS (240). Please note that the transformer is rated for running the unit and the pump when used in a configuration socket – transformer-BPAN-O- PLUS (110/115)  (optional only if power adjustment is required). Please have a qualified electrician install the unit.
