Have all installation work done by expert staff Flush the water supply pipe before making in order to avoid scalding hazards due to connection to the solenoid valve.
6.2 Water discharge Make connection as follows: » Attach cap nut with inner seal ring to inlet screw joint on the humidifier housing and tighten. Risk of scalding! During blow down, up to 0.3 l/sec are being drained with a temperature of about 95 °C. Ensure that the drain hose is reliably fas- tened and wastewater can drain freely and Do not overtighten the cap nut!
With the optional wastewater cooling system HyCool, HygroMatik offers an option for limi- ting the steam humidifier wastewater temper- ature in order to protect thermosensitive wastewater pipe lines.
