1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 DESCRIPTION The Mistral humidifier is the ELSTEAM solution for compact ultrasonic adiabatic humidification systems. The Mistralhumidifiergenerateshumiditybybreakingupthemoleculesofthewatercontainedinthereservoirandproducing mist through the energy transferred by ultrasonic ceramic transducers. The water is aerosolized by oscillating the surface of the transducers in contact with the water using a high frequency signal which generates a column of water above the transducers.

The internal temperature sensor is used by the humidifier for any temperature alerts (see "14.1 ALERTS TABLE (LED INTERFACE)" ON PAGE 60). If A1=0,thehightemperaturealertisdisabled. If A1>0,Mistral generates the alert when the temperature detected by the internal sensor exceeds threshold A1 for a time A2. In this situation the humidifier empties the reservoir and fills it again. Ifafteremptying,thealertoccursagainwithinatimeA3,ahightemperaturealertissignalled.

• If the sensor reading is between SP-r0 and SP then there is little or no production; • Mistral does not produce humidity under any other conditions; • Mistral does not produce any humidity with the sensor in error. 9.8 RECORDING HOURS OF OPERATION The Mistralhumidifier,amongitsfunctions,includesrecordingtheoperatinghours,tomonitorandalertyouwhentoperform routine maintenance.
10.1 INTRODUCTION The Mistral humidifier is designed for operation with the water specifications described in subsection "5.2.1 WATER SPECIFICATIONS" ON PAGE 23. Using water with different specifications and/or with a hardness level approaching the limit of 40 °f causes maintenance to be required more frequently.
