HygroMatik high-pressure nozzle system HPS, please read this operating manual. Only use the HygroMatik high-pressure nozzle system HPS if it is in perfect condition and only for its intended purpose, consid- ering all safety and risk aspects as well as all instructions in this manual.
1.3 Intended use The HygroMatik high-pressure nozzle system HPS is used for air humidification and cooling with desalinated water having a conductivity of 5-20 µS/cm. The feed water should have a tem- perature of 5-15°C. Caution: Proper use includes fulfilment of the assembly, disas- sembly, reassembly, start-up, operating and maintenance condi- tions specified by us as well as disposal measures.
During operation of the HygroMatik high-pressure nozzle system it is not allowed to stay in the humidification chamber. The desalinated water used for feeding the HygroMatik high- pressure nozzle system is unsuitable for drinking. Page 8...
IP22. Ensure that the devices are protected from dripping water at the installation location. If a HygroMatik high-pressure nozzle system is to be set up in an area without water drainage, safety measures which eliminate the possibility of water entering the system due to leaks must be taken.
3. Transport 3.1 General information Note: Take care when transporting the HygroMatik high-pres- sure nozzle system to prevent the device and packaging from be- ing damaged by impact or accidental loading or unloading. 3.2 Packaging Note: The HygroMatik high-pressure nozzle system is delivered on a pallet.
4. Function and design 4.1 Functioning The HygroMatik high-pressure nozzle system is based on atom- isation of water. Desalinated water is fed into a high-pressure piston pump. With an operating pressure of up to 75 bar, the water is atomized by means of high-pressure nozzles.

4.2.3 Vortex modules The vortex modules provide for effective mixing of the air and water mist. Due to their special design, they generate turbulence and shear zones which lead to a homogeneous distribution of moisture along the humidification section (0.9 m). The vortex modules (dimensions: 150 x 150 mm) are delivered individually and can be assembled to form a wall.
4.2.4 Atomising nozzles Desalinated water at a pressure of 25-75 bar reaches the high- pressure nozzles where the water is atomised to form ultra-fine mist-like aerosols. The aerosols enter the area of the vortexed air stream downstream of the vortex modules. The air and aero- sols are mixed intensively here.
4.2.5 Aerosol separators There are no more atomised water droplets in the air stream behind the HygroMatik high-pressure nozzle system (if the envi- ronmental parameter specifications are complied with). The two wire-mesh aerosol separators arranged in series ensure this.
Temperature: max. 15°C pH value: 7 +/- 1 Note: The supply water for the HygroMatik high-pressure nozzle system must comply with VDI 6022; i.e. from a microbiological point of view it must be of drinking water quality. 5.2 Waste water...

6. Interfaces to the HygroMatik high-pressure nozzle system 6.1 Air Air purity: A Class F7 pre-filter is to be placed upstream of the HygroMatik high-pressure nozzle sys- tem. Air velocity: 0.9-2.8* m/s If the air velocity is outside this range please contact HygroMa- tik.
7. Mechanical assembly Caution: The device may only be assembled by qualified staff. HygroMatik accept no liability for damages resulting from incor- rect assembly. Observe all safety instructions and warnings found on the device. The device must be de-energised during assembly.
Note: Between vortex module wall or droplet separator and a fan, a minimum distance of 1 m has to be observed. The air flow must be laminar. 7.2 Housing of the high pressure nozzle sys- Screwing the housing of the high pressure nozzle system to the floor ensures a stable stand.
7.3.2 Examplary design of guide rails for a vortex module wall) Drawing: Rail, vortex module wall foot profile Material: 1.4301, 1mm sheet metal Drawing: Rail, vortex module wall head profile Material: 1.4301, 1mm sheet metal Note: A project specific drawing is offered in the context of the bid phase already.
7.3.3 Side rails for the vortex module wall If the wall consists of 11 or more vortex module rows side rails are required in order to avoid bending of the vortex module wall. In the case of more than 16 vortex modules in the horizontal dimension the the vortex module wall has to be vertically sepa- rated into two halfs each of which is fixed fixed by its own side rails.
7.4 Assembling the aerosol separators The guide rails must be installed in a way that allows for lifting- up the vortex module wall. 7.4.1 Examplary design of guide rails for the aerosol separators Note: One piece required per system riveted connection riveted base plates 4 x M6 threaded bolts...
7.4.2 Assembling two aerosol separators in a stack For installation heights of more than 1.5 m, two aerosol separa- tors must be mounted in a stack. The waste water from the upper aerosol separator is drained via an additional collector. For this the waste water from the upper trap is drained via a flexible hose either directly or into the collec- tion tray.
7.5 Assembling of the distribution pipe The distribution pipe has to be attached to the vortex module wall in accordance to the assembling sketch that HygoMatik delivers for each project. Each nozzle on the vortex module wall has to be connected to the distribution pipe by using a high pressure hose.
Page 26
On the back side of the vortex module a washer (8) and another nut (4) are added to the screw (2). The nut has to be tightened. Next step is to put a second nut (5), the distribution pipe (7) and a third nut (6) onto the screw.
Note: We recommend designing the last segment of the water pipe to be flexible to prevent translation of vibration from the high-pressure pump group to the pipework. Note: A stopcock in the direct vicinity of the HygroMatik high- pressure nozzle system is to be provided on-site. 8.2 Water quality Conductivity: 5-20 µS/cm...
8.4.1 Design of the water drain The plastic hose (connected to the HygroMatik high pressure nozzle system) has to be fed to the external drain. Ensure that the laying shows a constant fall and incorporates a siphon.
8.4.2 Water drain for the humidification chamber Note: In the humidification chamber the water drain of a collec- tion tray must be at the lowest point and be equipped with a siphon. Page 29...

13.2 Control options (modes of operation) The usability of the modes of operation described below depends on the actually available physical system implemantation, i.e. the number of available nozzle sections. Basic prerequisite for operating the system is the enabling via terminals 1 and 2 by a max.-humidity switch or an on-site disengaged locking mechanism.
Page 42
This mode requires an on-site control signal of 0-10V (4-20mA) on terminals 4 and 5. In the range from 0 to 30 percent of the control signal, only one nozzle section is driven with an atomisation pressure of 25-75 bar. The range is called „the first stage“.
13.3 Description of the control functions 13.3.1 Display and control unit The display and control unit for monitoring and activating the system functions is built in the cover of the HygroMatik nozzle system HPS.

14. Maintenance The HygroMatik high-pressure nozzle system HPS is mainte- nance-friendly. However, operational faults which can be traced back to inadequate or improper maintenance may occur. Regular maintenance of the HygroMatik high-pressure nozzle system HPS is indispensable for ensuring long service life.
Changing the oil: 1. Switch off the HygroMatik high-pressure nozzle system by setting the main switch on the control cabinet to position '0'. 2. Unscrew the oil dipstick (see no. 12).
14.1.2 Checking/replacing the mains water filter The mains water filter must be checked monthly for contamina- tion and replaced if necessary. Colouring of the originally white water filter cartridge indicates contamination. Contamination results in an increased resistance to flow. This lowers the supply pressure to the pump.
1. Set the main switch on the control panel of the HygroMatik high-pressure nozzle system HPS to '0'. 2. Close the (external) stopcock. 3. Relieve the line pressure. 4. Open the filter housing by hand. The threads may be dam- aged if pliers are used.
14.1.4 Cleaning the high-pressure nozzle 1. Set the main switch on the control panel of the HygroMatik high-pressure nozzle system to '0'. 2. Unscrew the nozzle from the holder. 3. Unscrew the nozzle by screwing the inside parts out. 4. Clean the nozzle components in an ultrasonic bath for about 10 minutes, if necessary use a lime remover in low concentra- tion (less than 10%).
14.1.5 Cleaning the aerosol separators The aerosol separators should be checked every 4 weeks for possible contamination and cleaned if necessary. The aerosol separators should be thoroughly cleaned at least once a year. Cleaning the aerosol separators: 1. Pull or lift the aerosol separators out of the guide rails. 2.
14.1.8 Cleaning the humidification chamber Clean the humidification chamber and the base tray as required with a cleaning agent, then rinse and dry them. For cleaning and disinfection we recommend INCIDUR pro- duced by Ecolab. When using other cleaning and disinfection agents please check material compatibility with all plastic materials used in the humid- ification chamber.
14.2 Extended HPS Service Manual 14.2.1 Replacing the shaft sealing ring of the high- pressure pump EH2009 To remedy any oil leakages on the shaft output side of the pump, the shaft sealing ring must be replaced. The following preparatory measures are required: the water supply must be turned off, the system must be switched off at the main switch, the oil of the high-pressure pump must be drained off and cor- rectly disposed off.

Loosen the 4 bolts (pos.5) that hold the coupling bell housing (pos.6) and remove the bell-shaped top. Now remove the key (pos.7) and lever the shaft sealing ring (pos.8) out of its seating with a suitable tool. Note: When removing the shaft sealing ring, take care not to damage the seat and the shaft! After removing the shaft sealing ring, carefully remove any resi- dues of material left by the sealing ring from the shaft.
14.2.2 Replacing the valves HygroMatik uses two high-pressure pumps that differ only in size for the high-pressure jet systems. The construction is generally the same. They each have 3 identical valves on the low-pres- sure and high-pressure side. If the pump can no longer build up the required pressure, worn valves may be the cause.
14.2.3 Replacing the seals on the water side If water leaks occur on the pumps, the seals must be replaced. In order to do this, the water supply must be turned off, the sys- tem must be switched off at the main switch and the water con- nection hoses must be dismantled from the pump.
