Fernwärme Spittelau, Vienna

The most distinctive of all of Vienna’s Hundertwasser buildings is the district heating plant in Spittelau. The building houses one of three thermal waste treatment facilities operated by the company Fernwärme Wien GmbH, and was built in 1971 for the main purpose of heating the “New General Hospital,” situated some 2 km away. The giant tower with its golden orb, which can be seen from almost every high point in the city, is characteristic of the artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser.

Equally impressive is the imaginative planter above the waste delivery area. It contains several trees, which enable the experience of being in contact with nature and the changing seasons that was so important for Hundertwasser. Condair steam humidifiers ensure pleasant atmospheric humidity in the building.

Flexible choice of water

A resistance heating system works independently of the conductivity of the humidifying water.
For this reason, Condair RS steam humidifiers are suitable for use both with demineralized water and drinking water.
When using demineralized water, maintenance is reduced to periodic function checks.

If steam humidifiers are to be operated with drinking water, then Condair RS steam humidifiers should
always be your first choice, because the patented limescale management system ensures a high degree
of reliability even when the water contains limestone.

A technical innovation that solves the limescale problem

Patented limescale management removes the separated minerals
from the steam cylinder during operation and automatically conveys them into the designated
limescale collecting vessel. Limescale deposits are thus continuously removed from the steam cylinder.

The pieces of limescale are collected in an
external limescale collecting vessel and can easily be emptied from there. Maintenance work is significantly reduced
and operational reliability is maximized. The patented limescale management system ensures
reduced maintenance times and long life of RS steam humidifiers.

Touch Controller for precise control

The Condair Touch Controller allows viewing of all unit and process data.
Operating data can be called up in real time, and there is a comprehensive data history. The electronic control system
allows the steam output to be varied continuously between 0 and 100%; this means
accurate control and management of the steam delivery rate.

Perfect connectivity

The RS series steam humidifier includes an interface for connection to current BMS systems
(Modbus and BACnet) as standard.
