(pressure drop). FISAIR evaporative humidifiers work in a similar way to natural processes in rivers, lakes, and seas. The vapour added to the air is exclusively pure water vapour.
1.1. Safety instructions FISAIR disclaims any liability if not all the installation and operating instructions it has provided are complied with; if the products have been modified or altered without the written consent of FISAIR; or if the products have been subjected to improper use, mishandling, alteration, improper maintenance or show signs of negligent use or being involved in an accident.

HEF3 Series MANUAL 4. INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS GENERALITIES In order to optimize maintenance/installation, humidifiers must be placed on a level waterproof surface, with a drain or run-off, so possible leaks can be dealt with during installation, set up, operation and maintenance. Assembly inside an air handling unit must ensure the air being treated passes through the evaporative panels, by closing off the perimeters adequately to prevent possible by-passes of the air flow.

HEF3 Series MANUAL EVAPORATIVE PANEL DRYING TIME To ensure complete drying of the cooling pad, after a work period, the air fan of the conduct must be working during the times set out in the following table: Before drying the evaporation panel, the ventilation must be stopped for 10 minutes, and watering continued with the cassettes.

HEF3 Series MANUAL 5.2.1. Connection/ Regulation of the water supply Connect the water supply (A) to the ½” male BSP float valve (6) using suitable piping with a cut-off valve (1). We recommend the installation of a 0.5 mm light filter (2). In the HEF3 Series, when the feed water temperature is below the dew point of the air flow after the humidifying panel, it is recommended to insulate the collector and pipe to prevent possible condensation.

Connecting the drain to the water trap DRAINING CONNECTIONS Connect the 1 1/2” outlet (BSP Female) of the drain (3) to the drainage network (B) without a shut- off valve. • The connection of the water outlet to the drainage must include a water trap high enough (2H) to exceed the pressure in the system, so the water tank can be completely emptied, for hygiene reasons.

(application in Spanish) https://fisair.com/service/start-ups/ (application in English) The operation of the FISAIR HEF3 Series evaporative humidifier is mainly determined by the irrigation of the evaporative panels. The humidifier will work as such whenever there is a current of air passing through it and the water pump irrigates the panels.
HEF3 Series MANUAL 9. MAINTENANCE IMPORTANT Request maintenance of your units by contacting: sat@fisair.com service@fisair.com https://fisair.com/es/servicio/mantenimientos/ (application in Spanish) https://fisair.com/service/maintenance/ (application in English) GENERALITIES Humidifier components are very easy to maintain, because the only active parts are the irrigation pump and the float valve. The following elements require some kind of maintenance: •...
HEF3 Series MANUAL 10. CLEANING AND DESINFECTION 10.1. Evaporative humidification: a natural method that does not carry bacteria The operational features of evaporative humidifiers are based on the natural effect of the water evaporation when an air flow goes through/by a wet surface (is the same natural principle that occurs when water evaporates from waterfalls, rivers, lakes, seas...).
HEF3 Series MANUAL 10.2. Cleaning 10.2.1. General An inspection, emptying and cleaning plan must be established for the HEF3 Series depending on the treated air and feed water quality. Evaporation humidifiers should be cleaned regularly to prevent contamination. All the component surfaces (panel, pipes and especially the water deposit) must be disinfected with an appropriate solution.
Page 29
[Remark 2: Only use for high efficiency inorganic panel FISAIR]: If you have an inorganic panel or an organic panel with glued slats, this cleaning process cannot be carried out. For these cases use a weak acid solution such as citric acid or acetic acid dissolved in aqueous solvent.

HEF3 Series MANUAL If the foam is not completely removed, reinsert the cassette into a container with clean running water. Once the foam has completely disappeared, remove the cassette from the container and wash it again with the sprayed water hose. Allow the cassette to dry completely in the open air for as long as necessary.
HEF3 Series MANUAL 5. It is not normally necessary to repeat the process. 10.2.3.B. Cleaning with vinegar If the tank is full, add industrial vinegar directly to the water in the tank at a ratio of 0.016 liters of industrial vinegar per 1 liter of water. Depending on the volume of the total volume of the basins, add the corresponding amount of industrial vinegar proportionally 10.2.3.C.

Remark: The manufacturer’s safety steps for the disinfectant solution should be followed. The inorganic high efficiency panel the HEF3 Series cassettes includes agents, such as silver ions, that inhibit the growth of bacteria and fungi.
