recommended to install under-floor leak detection equipment whenever possible.
NOTE:
Condensation formation and frequent humidifier flushing are
normal functions of this equipment. Proper drain connections must be
made to ensure proper removal. Unit will require water connections for
condensate removal and possibly for humidifier makeup water, condenser
water, chilled water and/or hot water. Installation of units above
equipment that could sustain water damage should be avoided.
WARNING:
The condensate drain MUST be connected to an external
drain line (provided by others) before unit start up.
NOTE:
Clogged or leaking drain lines can cause damage to the
equipment and building.
Drain lines must be inspected regularly and maintenance must be
performed to ensure that drain lines are clear and condensation runs
freely through the drain system. The lines must be clear and free of
obstructions and in good condition with no visible sign of damage or leaks.
This unit also requires an external water supply to the humidifier.
Improper installation, application and service may result in water leakage
from the unit. Water leakage can result in severe property damage and
loss of critical data center equipment.
Do not locate unit directly above any equipment that could sustain water
dam- age. It is recommended to install leak detection equipment for unit
and supply lines.
2.26. Humidifier Piping
2.26.1. Steam Generator Humidifier
The standard humidifier in the systems is a steam generator humidifier type with disposable
cylinder. The humidifier makeup water should be brought to the humidifier through the field
connection open
ing using 1/4” (6.4 mm) copper tubing. A compression fitting is provided at the
humidifier.
A shutoff valve (field provided) should be installed outside the air conditioner to allow
disconnection for service. An in-line water pressure regulator (field provided) and strainer (field
provided) should be installed. Water pressure should be set between 20 and 80 PSI (128 and
552 kPa).
The humidifier has a drain at the bottom which is factory piped to the main condensate drain
line. The dispersion tube also has a drain line. No additional field piping is required.
