Carnes

About Us

Wilbur R. (Bill) Carnes began to manufacture and sell his first products near the end of 1939. Bill and his family lived on the east side of Madison, Wisconsin near Lake Monona. His first employee was hired in January, 1940. Prior to starting the company he took a leave of absence from his position as a chemical salesman and developed a method to take metal shavings out of the oil coolants that he was selling. His first products were sump tank cleaning machines that were manufactured for use in machine shops, including the Rock Island Arsenal in Illinois. These machines helped to solve oil filtration problems. Bill would sell a unit and then would build it in his shop, which was located at 2066 Helena Street in Madison. These machines had 100, 150, or 200 gallon tanks that were placed on wheels. They had centrifugal baskets with filters to remove steel chips from the coolant used in milling machines, which allowed the coolant to be used over and over. Later Bill also designed his own vacuum pump for these machines.

Carnes has introduced a simple, yet very effective, efficient, and informative circuit board feature, that assists in monitoring the humidification operation of the humidifier. Integral to the circuit board is a Microprocessor, true LCD touchscreen, Digital Display and LED indicator lights. In combination, these features maximize energy efficiency, provide enhancements that describe operating conditions and the diagnostic functions assist in simplifying troubleshooting to reduce maintenance costs. These features are available on all Carnes Humidifiers whether for Industrial / Commercial use or Residential applications. Carnes Humidifiers are stand alone units capable of providing 5 to 200 lbs/hr output. The humidifiers use untreated tap water (potable) and convert it to 100% sterile steam in disposable cylinders that eliminate messy, time consuming cleaning to reduce costs.

Short Absorption Manifolds

Short Absorption Manifolds

Carnes Steam Manifolds are designed to provide dry steam with rapid absorption in the duct air stream. It achieves this by distributing steam evenly across the face of the duct. The distance needed for absorption is dependent on a number of factors, some of which are air velocity, steam volume, air temperature, and characteristics of air flow in the duct. For minimum absorption distance, the manifold should be located in the warmest air stream of the duct and where fully developed laminar air flow occurs.

  • Stainless steel steam distribution tubes on three inch centers provide extremely short absorption distances
  • Stainless steel manifold with flexible EPDM connections for thermal expansion without use of "O" rings
  • Strong galvanized flanged frame for easy and fast connection to duct
  • Factory assembled for reduced installation costsy promote it here to get customers excited about getting a sweet deal.
