2. Safety Instructions Overview Adherence to these safety instructions are required by law. They are there for your safety and for the prevention of industrial acci- dents . Warnings and Safety symbols The following safety symbols indicate texts that contain warnings concerning possib le haz ards.
Installation, de-installation, servicing and repair Steam injection humidifier parts on which maintenance or repair work is to be done must be disconnected from voltage and the steam supply shut off. Installation of any addition al p arts is allowed only after written permission from the manufacturer. Electrical Only qua lified electricia ns may carry o ut electrical work on the unit.
3. Transport Overview Note: I f th ere is a ny transport damage an d/or missing ite ms please get in tou ch with the transport company or supp lier immediately. 3.1 Packing Note: Please observe the pictures on the packing. The kind of packing used is dependent upon the type of unit sup- plied.

5. Strainer There sho uld be a strainer inst alled in the steam supply line directly in front of every separator. Only if this is done can it be guaranteed that there are no fore ign particles in the hu midifier unit.
6. Separator The st ainless st eel sep arator is the essent ial comp onent for moisture sep aration. The sep arator is a vailable in version s 20 and 40. The separator size is depen dent upon the desired steam output and available steam pressure.
As a general rule the customer is free to use any typical co ntrol valve which is approved for steam control. Standard are the Spirax-Sarco Valves from HygroMatik. Alterna- tive suppliers can be listed on application. Spirax-Sarco control valves Type LE33; KE63 Flanged Kvs-value [m³/h]...
In order to comply with DIN 32 730* an electrical actuator must have a fail-safe function so that in the case of a power failure the Type Hygromatik E-4111680 control valve is reset into a safe position (fully closed). Pneumatic Actuator Pneumatic Actua tors are contro lled using compre ssed air (e.g.
8. Start-up safety switch The start-up safety switch ensures that no condensate from the steam network has ente red the air conditioning duct over the steaml lances. Electrical Start-up safety switch With an electrical actuator the supply volt age is looped through the st art-up safety switch.
9. Steam Lances In t he steam lanc es (1) dry ste am is blown out of specially formed nozzles (2). They are designed for low n oise steam emission. The nozzles t ake steam from the driest area in the steam lance centre.

Steam lance piping for multiple steam lances . HygroMatik standard supply is for lengths of 300 mm und 450 mm. Distances are approx imate and ca n vary from installa- tion to inst allation. Piping shou ld be inst alled for even lance distribution along the duct height.
Installation of a pressu re gau ge on the steam in jection unit ensures immediate detection of pressure drops or fluctuations. The HygroMatik Pressure gau ge st ation consist s of an u p to 200°C temperat ure-tested, tubular sprin g pre ssure g auge (0- 6bar), a T-junction and a dual nipple.
11. Ball Float Steam Trap After separation from the steam inside the separator condensate is drained out through a ball float steam trap. 11.1 Function The discharge valve is controlled by the b all floa t depe ndent upon the density of the incoming medium. Starting Position / Air When the u nit starts, a ir pre sent in the system is discharged through the thermostatic air extractor fan.

12. Thermostatic Capsule Steam Trap Condensate that has co llected in the stea m lance heating sys- tem is discharged through a thermostatic capsule steam trap. 12.1 Function The discha rge valve is controlled de pendent upon the ca psule volume and t he temperat ure an d pressur e of t he in coming medium.
13. Humidification Output The maximum humidification output [kg/h] of one steam injection unit depends upon the available steam pressure in bar. Maximum humidif ication outp ut can be more than 770 kg/h (Type A) or 730 kg/h (Type C). Maximum operating pressure is pmax = 4 bar.
Page 24
Example: Desired humidification output: 110 kg/h Operating pressure, p = 2 bar The le ngth an d number of steam lances is d etermined b y the duct dimensions. See Section 9 "Steam Lances". Result: Follow the opera ting pre ssure line until the de sired humidif ica- tion output in kg/h is reached.
Matik steam injection humidifier in a safe and proper manner. Warning: this steam injection humidifier may only be installed by qualified personnel. HygroMatik c an accept no responsibility for any damage caused by incorrect installation. Please observe all sa fety and hazard instructions supplied with the steam injection humidifier.
Dimension the on-site steam connections (insulated) so that a steam velocity of 25 m/s is not exceeded. HygroMatik reco mmends the inst allation o f a shu t-off valve in front of the steam injection system in order to facilitate any necessary maintenance work.
Install a pressure sensor in the ducting and integrate this into the safety chain. The pressure se nsor prevents an ove r-humidifica- tion of the ducting in the case of a malfunctioning fan. HygroMatik Actuator wiring diagram Circuitry for alternative actuators are to be found in the relevant installations documents.
15.3 Separators Warning: Before installation, check out the steam supply piping. It must be established that the steam humidifier is su pplied with as dry a steam as possible (steam with as little condensate as possible). Steam pressure at the separator entry point must not exceed 4 bar.
15.4 Control Valve and Actuator If the valve is o n site th en the necessary connections between valve and separator are fitted. All other parts are delivered sep- arately (e.g. connection bolts and flange seals). Only actuators which are suitable and certified for steam regula- tion may be used.
15.5 Pneumatic Start-up safety feature Note: Pneumatic st art-up safety is se t at 96°C. This value can be altered only by the manufacturer. First install a T-piece with a 1/2" exit in the condensate piping in front of the condensate drain. A T-piece with a 1/8"...
HygroMatik can supp ly st ainless stee l st andard modules for lance pitches of 300 und 450 mm.

Position lances in the duct centre if possible. If the humidifier blows into a comp act multi-zone unit then should be installed directly in the air flow and as close as possi- ble to the fan. The bif urcated pip e shou ld never be inst alled le ss th an one meter in fro nt o f th e fa n suct ion side.
15.8 Steam Lance Heating System Warning: the line to the heating system must be able to tolerate pressures of up to maximum 8 bar. Note: the pipe is easy to bend with a suitable tool. The customer must adjust the pipe in accor dance the conditions on site. Take care not to kink the pipe when bending.
15.9 Check List Warning: The steam injection humidif ier may only be operated by qualified and authorised personnel. Before switching on the steam injection humidifier please check for correct installation by going through the following check list: - Have the steam supply lines been flushed out? - Are th e steam supply and condensate lines properly connected and secure? - Has th e entire steam supply line up to the contro l valve been...
16. Initial Operation Warning: the steam injection hu midifier may only be op erated by qualified personnel. Warning: for actuator initial operation please refer to the instruc- tions of the reg ulator and/or installations company. Initial opera- tion should only b e done by a traine d expert or service technician.
