Planning
This chapter contains planning information for selecting the location, as well as provisioning of services
for the Nortec RS humidifier. It also describes the installation requirements for mounting, plumbing,
electrical and steam connections. Design of the control systems and preventative maintenance for the
Nortec RS humidifier are also discussed.
4.1
Location and Clearances
When selecting the location of the humidifier, choose a location that is close as possible to the steam
distributor. This will minimize heat loss through the steam line. Locate the humidifier below the steam
distributor, when possible.
Allow adequate clearances around the humidifier for ease of maintenance. Although the Nortec RS
humidifier requires no side clearance, Condair recommends minimum clearances of 6 in (150 mm)
on the side. A clearance of 24 in (610 mm) between the humidifier and the ground is also required.
, which also show the clearances required for the Nortec RS
Space unit. Observe all local and national installation codes. Condair is not responsible for any
installation code violations.
Refer to the Blower Pack Installation, Operation and maintenance Manual (Condair document 2582277)
for clearances required for remote-mounted blower packs. All Condair documents are available from
The selected location should permit proper routing of services, as well as steam and condensate lines.
The Nortec RS humidifier should only be installed in a drip-proof location within buildings, where the
ambient temperature is 41-104 °F (5-40 °C) and the relative humidity is 5-95% (non-condensing).
