USEFUL INFORMATION:
Information on how an ultrasonic vaporizer works
How does the ultrasonic vaporizer work? An ultrasonic membrane (25) in the interior of the
device causes the water to oscillate, causing very fine droplets of water to be «catapulted off»
from the water surface. These droplets mix with the air in the spray chamber and are then blown
into the room through a fan as a visible spray. This fine spray evaporates in the warm air in the
room, moistening the air that people breathe.
Hygrostat
The standard-tolerance of an integrated hygrostat is +/- 10%. That means the effective relative
humidity level can deviate accordingly.
White dust
The ultrasonic vaporizer’s method of action causes all substances contained in the water to be
sprayed, including calcium carbonate (a cause of lime scale) and minerals. In order to prevent
this as far possible, the water is fed through the descaler cartridge before being sprayed. The
cartridge retains a large percentage of the substances contained in the water. Tap water varies
greatly from region to region in terms of its calcium and mineral content. Some minerals cannot
be sufficiently filtered by the descaling resin used. In this case, a white, dust-like deposit is left
in the room, which is first visible on electrostatically charged surfaces (such as TV sets). This
deposit also occurs when the descaler cartridge needs replacing (see the chapter on «Descaler
Cartridge and Water Hardness», page 18).
Tips for water
Do not use water that has been subject to salt-based softening in a descaling system. These
systems replace the calcium with salt, which then settles in the room as a white deposit.
Clean water must always be used to ensure that the air remains hygienic to breathe. The device,
and the water tank in particular, must always be hygienically clean.
Recommendation
: always use the «Silver Cube», as this reduces the formation of germs in the
water (see page 18).
