AFE SELF CONTAINED
AIRFOG SYSTEMS
AFE MINI SYSTEMS
AFE MINI systems are fully self contained
requiring connections to the following interfaces:
·
3/8” O.D. plastic or soft copper water supply
line rated at a minimum of 25 psig.
·
1/4” O.D. plastic or soft copper air supply line
rated at a minimum of 90 psig
·
Isolation valves for both air and water lines
·
Mounting hardware
·
Support anchors
·
1/4” lag bolts
·
120 Vac standard electrical receptacle
·
Humidity control device (Humidistat)
The best location for a Mini is on a wall or column
with the mist discharging down an aisle where it will
not condense on solid surfaces. A clear run of at least
15 feet forward of the nozzles is normally a sufficient
distance for complete absorption. Adiabatic cooling is
often uncomfortable to people occupying workstations
directly beneath the Mini systems.
The Mini nozzles must be a minimum of 6 feet
above the floor and 36” below the ceiling in order to
prevent condensation on these surfaces. See Figure
#17 (“Mini Installation”).
Four accessible internal mounting holes are
located in each corner of the rear panel. The
mounting procedure is:
·
Either attach the supplied mounting bracket
hardware or bolt panel directly onto the wall
surface via the mounting holes.
·
Place the panel level against the surface and
mark the drill holes.
·
Remove the panel and drill the holes (hole
size to match field supplied lag bolts and
anchors).
·
Replace the panel and secure using bolts.
Install water and air supply lines. Both water and
air lines should have an isolation valve installed near
the unit. Water connection at the unit is designed for
3/8” plastic tubing but if soft copper pipe is to be used,
replace the plastic sleeve in the fitting with the
supplied brass sleeve. The air connection is designed
for 1/4” plastic tubing. Figure #18 (“Plumbing End
Connections”) illustrates details of the interfaces.
AFE OCTO SYSTEMS
Octo systems are partially self contained and are
between the simple Mini self-contained installation and
the modular AFE systems. The Designer’s drawings
