INSTALLATION  NOTES  &  INSTRUCTIONS 

 

 

HOISTING:

 When using a forklift to lift the Humidaire Unit, it is important to verify 

that  the  forks  are  positioned  in  the  two  stirrups  and  fully  under  the  frame  of  the  water 
tank. See picture below. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

LOCATION:

 If the location of the Humidaire Unit has not been specified on gin plans, 

it should be located in a clean place, fairly close to the point of application of humid air.  
If the pipes are insulated (lagged), the humid air pipe can be run 80 to 100 feet (25 to 30 
meters) without difficulty.  
 

TIPS

 

 

Avoid an area in close proximity to the press pumps. The extra heat generated by press 
pumps tends to hurt the performance of the unit. 

 
Outside the USA, some insurance companies or government authorities may require the 
Humidaire Unit to be located in a room separate from cotton processing operations. 
 
 

AIR PIPES:

 Connect air pipes in accordance with installation drawings.  IMPORTANT: 

Even if not shown on drawings, make sure a slide valve is installed to regulate the flow of 
air through the Humidaire Unit.  This is usually installed between the Humidaire and the 
fan.  It may be located on the discharge side of the fan, especially where two valves are 
used to distribute humid air to two points of application.
