The unit works automatically, the humidity in the unit is monitored electronically. Excess humidity of the supply air is therefore ruled out. The LBE 250A air humidification unit is dimensioned for a maximum operating air volume flow of 350 m³/h, the LBE 500A for a maxi- mum operating air volume flow of 500 m³/h.
18 °C to an outlet condition of 25 °C with 60 % RH. This approximately corresponds to a maximum possible evaporation of 1.8 l/h (with 250 m³/h) for the LBE 250A, and 3.6 m³ l/h (with 500 m³/h) for the LBE 500 A.
9.1 Control unit (display) / basic settings The LBE 250A/LBE 500A air humidification unit comes with a 4.3“ touch display. The unit offers easy and intuitive operation directly on the screen. By briefly touching the display, the standby mode is interrupted and the main overview is shown.
