VAPORSTREAM INSTALLATION, OPERATION, AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
INSTALLATION
When selecting a location for the humidifi er, consider the following:
• Easy access for maintenance
• Maximum ambient temperature for the control cabinet is 104 °F (40 °C).
• Noises inherent to operation:
– Fill cycles (tap/softened water humidifi er)
See
Fill noise in tap/softened water humidifi er
on Page 28.
– Control cabinet: cycling contactors
• Clearance recommendations — primarily top, left side, and front (see
Figure 9-1).
• Convenient location to dispersion system for routing of steam hose or tubing
(see
Dispersion
section of this manual).
• Electrical connections: Power, control, and safety circuits
• Plumbing connections: Supply water, drain piping, and condensate return
piping (see the
Piping
section of this manual)
• Water seal requirements (see
Piping
section of this manual)
• Avoid locations above critical equipment or processes.
• Avoid locations close to sources of electromagnetic emissions, such as
power distribution transformers and high horsepower motors controlled by
variable frequency drives.
