4. PUMPING UNITS 4.1 Pumping unit with flow control configuration optiMist controls the humidification and/or cooling capacity by continuously controlling the atomised water flow-rate across a wide range of modulation. This configuration is used in the following applications: • humidification and/or evaporative cooling (direct) in an AHU; •...
5. DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM This paragraph briefly describes the distribution and atomisation systems for AHUs (rack and droplet separator) and for rooms. These are described in detail in the “optiMist – distribution systems” manual. Fig. 5.a Fig. 5.b 5.1 Distribution and atomisation rack The collectors with atomising nozzles must be in the vertical position.

7. CONTROL 7.1 Humidification Key: production external request lgorithms, which can be selected from the installer menu. maximum production minimum production • HH control: modulates the capacity (water flow-rate) using two humidity probes, one • CH/CT control: control probe normally installed in the AHU in the return air, and one limit operation in on/off mode, based on a voltage-free external contact (for probe, usually installed downstream of the droplet separator.
7.2 Evaporative Cooling TF CONTROL (T + air flow/flow-rate limit) If optiMist is used as an application dedicated to evaporative cooling, the This type of control is used to modulate the capacity (water flow-rate) possible controls are: with a temperature control probe and an air flow modulator, which can •...
LIMIT PROBE Heating recovery In the following graphics, the first represents the limitation of the maximum production with a temperature limit probe or an activation signal from the IEC ventilator. The second graphic, on the other hand, represents the case in which the limit probe is a humidity probe or an opening signal from the recirculation air lock.

12. MAINTENANCE AND REPLACEMENT PARTS 12.1 Maintenance procedures Rack replacement parts kit Description Since the optiMist humidification system does not require special ECKDSV0000 N.O. water drain solenoid valve kit maintenance in general, it is best to regularly perform systematic ECKDMV0000 mechanical drain valve kit preventative maintenance.
