8 - MAINTENANCE
WITH WATER CIRCULATION:
1. Stop the electric pump
2. Close the water shut-off valve
3. Open the drain pipe, so as to empty the water tanks
4. Remove the stainless steel water filter from the pump hol-
der and clean using an ordinary brush
5. Remove the wet deck from the unit
6. Remove the casing panel corresponding to the humidifier
7. Remove the water distributor and the wet deck system
8. Remove the side panels
WITH RUN-THROUGH WATER:
1. Close the water shut-off valve
2. Remove the wet deck from the unit
3. Remove the casing panel corresponding to the humidifier
4. Remove the side panel
5. Remove the wet deck
The duration over time and the absence of faults depends on
constant cleaning, the frequency of which depends on various
different factors:
the concentration of dust in the air.
the hardness of the water.
the type of operation, run-through water or circulation.
discontinuous operation.
The wet deck and the honeycomb distributor are assembled
on the unit using parts in commercially-available sizes: mm
600x1000.
For the wet deck to dry, the fan must continue running when
the humidification function is off, allowing the flow of air to e-
vaporate all the water in suspension.
To clean proceed as follows:
8.14 WET DECK HUMIDIFICATION
The wet deck may be washed with water for any slimy
deposits, but must be replaced in the case of lime scale
deposits.
Remove the upper panel of the honeycomb distributor end
clean it using steel pins for the holes.
Wash the inside of the tank and the various components.
! The wet decks must be fitted in the exact correct position in
the humidifier.
The air and water flow in a specific direction (counter-current).
Incorrect positioning affects correct operation (see the section
"Reception/Positioning").
When restarting the humidifier, check correct operation.
8.15 SPRAY NOZZLE HUMIDIFICATION
To clean, proceed as follows:
Cleaning should be performed monthly.
Check if the spray from the nozzles forms a regular cone,
otherwise clean the nozzles by removing the cover and
cleaning the holes from any impurities using a simple steel
pin. The nozzles applied to the rod are easy to change.
Check the rubber gasket.
Clean the stainless steel water filter screwed onto the
intake pipe. This is normally replaced annually.
At the start and at the end of the operating period, use a
brush and a spatula to clean the tank from slurry, with the
aid of water and detergent.
If there are deposits on the fins of the drift eliminators,
clean these using a spatula and brush.
If required, remove the fins on the eliminator.
8.16 ATOMISED WATER HUMIDIFICATION
Systematic preventative maintenance should be performed at
weekly intervals, keeping in mind the hardness of the water
used.
Check if there is reverse osmosis filtering system
Once a year remove and clean the nozzles, immersing
them in a solution of water and acetic acid to eliminate any
lime scale deposits.
At least once a year vent the connection pipe, to eliminate
any sediments, traces of oil and dirt.
Refer to the maintenance manual provided by the
manufacturer of the humidifier.
