  • Page 5: Introduction

    Thank you for choosing a HygroMatik steam humidifier. HygroMatik steam humidifiers represent the latest in humidifica- tion technology. In order to operate your HygroMatik steam humidifier safely, pro- perly and efficiently, please read these operating instructions. Employ your steam humidifier only in sound condition and as directed.

  • Page 6: Symbols In Use

    This symbol is used whenever a situation requires special atten- tion beyond the scope of safety instructions. 1.4 Intended Use The HygroMatik steamgenerator serves for steam production based on various water qualities or partially softened water (valid for all of the HygroMatik humidifier models). With the HeaterLine, HeaterCompact/ Kit and HeaterSlim familiy of products, also fully desalinated water/ cleaned condensate may be used.
  • Page 7 You should place a copy of the Operation and Maintenance Instructions at the unit‘s operational location (or near the unit). By construction, HygroMatik steam humidifiers are not qua- lified for exterior application. Risk of scalding! Steam with a temperature of up to 100 °C is produced.

  • Page 8: Safety Instructions

    2. Safety Instructions These safety instructions are required by law. They promote workplace safety ans accident prevention. 2.1 Guidelines for Safe Operation 2.1.1 General Comply with the accident prevention regulation „DGUV Regula- tion 3“ to prevent injury to yourself and others. Beyond that, national regulations apply without restrictions.

  • Page 9: Mounting, Dismantling, Maintenance And Repair Of The Unit

    Do not remove or disable safety devices. 2.1.4 Mounting, dismantling, maintenance and repair of the unit The HygroMatik steam humidifier is IP20 protected. Make sure that the unit is not object to dripping water in the mounting loca- tion.

  • Page 10: Electrical

    Promptly repair any damage such as loose connections or burned wiring.Responsibility for intrinsically safe installation of the HygroMatik steam humififiers (steam generators) is incumbent on the installing specialist company. 2.2.1 Disposal after dismantling The operator is responsible for the disposal of unit components as required by law.

  • Page 11: Transport

    3. Transport 3.1 Overview Please note Proceed carefully when transporting the steam humidifier in order to prevent damage due to stress or careless loading and unloading. 3.2 Packing Please note Pay attention to the icons affixed to the packing box. 3.3 Interim Storage Store the unit in a dry place and protect from frost.

  • Page 12: Operation And Installation

    4. Operation and Installation 4.1 Mode of Operation The HygroMatik steam humidifier utilizes the conductivity nor- mally present in tap water for steam production. Electrodes inside an enclosed steam cylinder are immersed directly into the tap water. They are connected to the alternating current.

  • Page 14 The concentration of dissolved salts increases over time, which can lead to a rise in the conductivity of the water. If this contin- ues, conductivity may increase until a short circuit occurs. This could damage the unit, but in any case would significantly reduce the life span of the electrodes.

  • Page 15: Installation

    Obey all safety notes and warnings present on the unit. Risk of electrical shockHazardous electrical voltage! During installation the unit must be disconnected from power supply. HygroMatik accepts no liability for damage due to faulty installa- tion. Attaching or installing additional components is permitted only with the written consent of the manufacturer, or else the war- ranty is void.

    5.1.1 Fitting measures Clearances When choosing the site for the steam humidifier, consider the Please note location of existing water installations (feed and drain lines). Mounting Fixtures (for HY45 to HY116) The unit should be mounted on a stable wall. Note: To achieve a uniform immersed surface area for the elec- Please note trodes, the humidifier must be installed plumb and level.

    5.2 Fan Unit (optional) Please note The fan unit should be positioned in a way that drafts are avoided. In general, a minimum height of 2 m above floor is suf- ficient.Install the fan unit directly on a wall. Risk of skin burning or scalding! During operation and some time afterwards the steam nozzles are hot.

  • Page 22: Fan Unit Cover

    5.2.2 Fan Unit Cover Covers for humidifier types HY05 and HY30 are optionally avail- able to protect the steam and condensate hoses between the steam humidifier and the fan unit. The vertical distance between the humidifier and the fan unit is determined by the height of the cover (see table of dimensions, H).

  • Page 23: Absorption Distance Bn

    5.3 Absorption Distance B The "absorption distance" (B ) is defined as the distance from the steam feed to where the steam is completely absorbed in the treated air. Within the absorption distance, steam is visible as mist in the air stream. Condensation may occur on anything installed within the absorption distance.
  • Page 24 Length I of the usable steam manifold depends on the dimen- sions of the air duct. The length of the absorption distance can be reduced by using multiple steam manifolds (also see section on the steam manifold). Method: Graphically determine absorption distance B using the absorp- tion distance nomogram (also see Section „Absorption Distance Nomogramm“).
