    / condensate water (only for humidifier type HeaterLine, HeaterCompact/Kit and HeaterSlim). Warning: HygroMatik steam humidifiers emit steam with a tem- perature of 100° C. The steam may not be inhaled directly. Only qualified and authorised personnel may operate the unit.
  • Page 7: Safety Notes

    2. Safety Notes 2.1 Overview These safety notes are required by law. They promote work- place safety and accident prevention. Warnings and Safety Symbols The safety symbols below identify sections containing warnings about hazards or potential dangers. Please familiarize yourself with these symbols.
  • Page 8: Disposal After Dismantling

    Attention: In the event of leaky or faulty components uncon- trolled hot steam may flow. HygroMatik steam humidifiers are IP20-protected. Make sure that the unit is protected from drips in its installed location. Installing a humidifier in a room without water discharge requires safety devices to protect against water leakages.
  • Page 9: Transport

    3. Transport Overwiew Note: Proceed carefully when transporting the steam humidifier in order to prevent damage from rough or careless loading and unloading. If the transport of this unit is attempted by only one person there is a risk that the unit will drop down. We propose to transport the unit by two persons.

    5. Operation and Device Construction 5.1 Mode of Action The Imersion Heater Principle One to three heater elements (Pos. 8 in the exploded view) are placed in a closed cylinder and connected to alternating current. The cylinder is filled with tap water, fully demineralized water or partially softened water.
  • Page 13: Installation And Method Of Operation

    5.2 Installation and Method of Operation When the hygrostat or controller signals a demand for humidifi- cation, the inlet solenoid valve (14) opens. The solenoid valve is designed for pressures from 100 x 10 to 100 x 10 Pascals (1 to 10 bar).
  • Page 14 Steam lines in steam bath cabins employ special steam hoses and piping (if required). Accumulated condensate is normally routed into the steam cabin. At a relative humidity of 100%, the supplied steam is used to heat the steam bath. Warning: Leakage of the steam cylinder can cause a serious hazard, such as giving an electric shock.

  • Page 16: Fitting

    5.2.2 Fitting Note: It is often advantageous to use existing water connections (feed and drain) when selecting the steam humidifier. The unit is suitable for ground and wall mounting. Ground mounting The device can be placed on a level, firm surface. It is recom- mended that the unit is additionally fixed on a wall.
  • Page 17: 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. Inside the absorption distance, steam is visible as mist in the air stream. Condensation may collect on anything installed inside the absorption distance.
  • Page 18 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“).
