The Kanomax Steam Generator excels at creating the ideal test environment for de‑mister systems. By introducing controlled steam into a vehicle’s cabin, it enhances windshield fog formation—enabling evaluation of defogger effectiveness based on standardized test conditions. This shaping of the testing environment is critical for verifying performance against recognized regulations.
Specifications That Drive Performance
Steam Generation: Adjustable between 65 to 390 g/hour, offering flexibility for various test scenarios.
Steam Volume: Capable of producing up to 1 gallon (3.785 L) per session—sufficient for replicating real-world fogging conditions.
Efficient Design: Maintains heat loss under 75 W while operating with a heater capacity up to 500 W at AC 100 V.
Nozzle & Airflow Characteristics: Equipped with a 15 mm inner diameter nozzle, 100 mm in length, and airflow via a built-in fan operating at 0.05–0.1 m³/min (at 49 Pa).
Meets Industry Standards with Consistency
Kanomax designed the Steam Generator to support testing that complies with multiple global standards:
JIS D 4502/4504‑1994
ISO 3470‑1989(E)
EEC 661
SAE J953
These validations make it a dependable choice for both regulatory and in-house performance testing.
Key Applications
