5.2.1 Humidifier location
To ensure proper functioning of the steam humidifier Condair GS...OC and to obtain optimum efficiency,
the following points must be considered and observed when choosing the location for the steam humidifier:
– The Condair GS...OC must be mounted only
outside of buildings
where the flue gases can escape
freely.
– the
local and national regulations
for installation of gasfired equipment must be observed and
followed. The manufacturer accepts no liability for noncompliance with these regulations.
– Install the steam humidifier so that the
length of the steam hose
is as short as possible (
ideally
2 m, max. 4 m
), the
minimum bend radius
(
R= 300 mm
) and the
minimum upslope
(
20 %
) and
the
minimum downslope
(
5 %
) of the steam hose can be maintained (see Chapter 5.3.2).
Note: Long steam lines reduce the maximum steam output of the humidifier, due to the heat loss
involved. The static pressure also increases.
– Install the steam humidifier so that the flue gas outlet meets the following minimum distances:
– at least 0.6 m above any ridge located within 3 m
– at least 1 m above any forced air inlet located within 3 m
– at least 1 m
below and
1 m horizontally away from, or 0.5 m above any door, window, or gravity
air inlet of any adjacent building.
– at least 1 m horizontally away from electric meters, gas meters, regulator and relief equipment.
– at least 2.5 m above grade when it is adjacent to public walkways.
– Make sure in the place of location of the Condair GS...OC the supply of clean fresh air is provided.
The unit must be placed at least 3 m away from any mechanical exhaust outlet.
Caution!
Operation of the humidifier with unclean air can lead to safety problems and reduce
the output of the unit. Impurities in the air are, for example: Halogens, ammonia, chloride,
excessive dust, lime and dirt. For questions about air quality, please refer to the technical
