Humidity is produced as water under high pressure (1015 psi (70 bar)) is atomized into micro-sized particles which are instantly absorbed into the surrounding air. The Solo units are typically attached to walls or columns via specific Condair Solo brackets, and water is fed via the high pressure tubing and electricity is fed via cables.
6.2.1 Solo assembly WARNING! Never unscrew a nozzle on a pressurised unit. Disconnect power to the pump station when working on high-pressure system. CAUTION! Be careful! The threads on the nozzles break easily, the nozzle seals with an O-ring and hence does not need to be tightened very hard, just a little more than you can do by hand.
The positioning of a system is always determined during planning and noted in the system documents. Prior to mounting the ML Princess unit, ensure that all hose layouts, distances between heads and at- omization clearances have been considered and adhered to, as per...

The system is built with flexibility in mind, it can be easily designed or dimensioned to suit practically any project. ML Flex System allows you to choose between wall and ceiling mounting. The nozzles are mounted in the T-sections which can be rotated individually. Humidity is produced as water under high pressure (1015 psi (70 bar)) is atomized into micro-sized particles which are instantly absorbed into the surrounding air.
Observe and comply with all local and national codes dealing with water and electrical installations. Condair does not accept any liability for installation of humidification equipment by unqualified personnel, or the use of equipment/parts that are not authorized by Condair.

Solenoid valve (zone valve) General Description If the system consists of several different zones, load permitting, one pump is sufficient to supply all the zones. Each zone must be equipped with a solenoid valve set, which opens when the zone needs humidification and relieves the pressure in the high-pressure hose when the zone stops.
Choosing size and type The maximum flow of the department determines type and combination. Softened water allows for the use of brass valves, while water from reverse osmosis (RO) requires the use of corrosion-proof valves. Surface water with a conductivity less than 50 μS/cm requires the use of corrosion-proof valves. Pressure release hoses Important: Discharge hoses from pressure release valves must be conducted to a free outlet.
ML nozzles 10.1 ML standard nozzles Data source: TD122GB - 03 Description: The ML standard nozzles are specifically designed nozzles of highest quality, which atomizes water under high pressure to millions of microscopic particles sized 5-10 microns, which immediately evaporate in to the surrounding air.
10.2 ML low capacity nozzles Data source: TD116GB - 01 Unique high-technology nozzle from Condair • Extremely fine atomization • Minimum humidification power • Optimum cooling and humidification effect Description: The nozzle atomizes water under high pressure into millions of microscopic particles in sizes from 5-15 micron, which immediately evaporates into the ambient air.
