5.2.6 Manually Initiate Tank Draining
Figure 8: Drain Screens
During periods of inactivity, such as off-season or periods of low demand, drain the water from the tank.
To drain the tank in the
Condair
GS humidifier, manually initiate draining as follows. Refer to
1. Select the <Drain> button on the Home screen. If more than one humidifier is connected in a Linkup
chain, select the appropriate tank, then press the check mark.
2. Select the <Yes> button on the confirmation screen. If humidification is in progress, it is interrupted
and the drain pump(s) empties the tank. A progress bar shows the status of the drain cycle.
Select the <Cancel> button at any time to interrupt the drain cycle. If the drain cycle is interrupted
before it is completed, open the manual drain valve and verify that there is still water in the tank.
Close the manual drain valve, then select the <No> button on the next screen to confirm that the
tank has not been emptied fully.
Note
: If necessary, set the On/Off switch to the Off position at the end of the drain cycle to prevent
the humidifier from filling the tank again.
WARNING!
Risk of severe burns from contact with hot surfaces, steam or hot water!
The tank may contain steam or hot water. Contact with the hot surfaces, steam vapours
or hot water can result in severe burns
.
Prevention:
Never open the tank until it has been fully drained, and the unit has cooled down
to a safe temperature. Never use the manual drain valve until the unit has cooled down. Use the
manual drain valve to verify that the tank is empty before removing the tank cover.
Note
: If the control software/drain valve(s) does not function properly, wait for the unit to cool down
then open the manual drain valve and empty the tank. Failure to do so may damage drain lines that
are not rated to handle hot water at up to 100 °C. Close the drain valve after emptying the tank.
5.2.7 Full Tank Blowdown
The control software in the
Condair
GS humidifier performs a full tank blowdown to reduce the amount
of dissolved minerals accumulated inside the tank. The Drain Cool function in the control software per
-
mits drain water cooling whenever the drain pump runs. Make sure that the function is enabled if drain
cooling is required. The frequency of the blowdown can be set in the control software.
In addition to the software-controlled full tank blowdown, a separate 24 VAC signal connected to pins "1"
and "8" in the low voltage terminal strip can also initiate a full tank blowdown. When a full tank blowdown
is initiated, the tank is drained fully then refilled. Make sure the Drain Cool function is enabled if drain
cooling is required.
