Mounting and installation work Important notes for mounting and installation work Qualification of personnel All mounting and installation work must be carried out only by well qualified personnel authorised by the owner. It is the owner’s responsibility to verify proper qualification of the personnel. General note Strictly observe and comply with all information given in the present mounting instructions regarding the location of the unit and the installation of water, steam and electricity.

5.3.2 Positioning and mounting of the steam distribution pipe The location for the steam distribution pipes should be determined at the time of dimensioning the air conditioning system. Please note the following instructions to ensure proper humidification of the duct air. Calculating the humidification distance The water vapour, emitting from the steam distribution pipes, requires a certain distance to be absorbed by the ambient air so that it is no longer visible as steam.
Page 28
Minimum distances to be observed To prevent the water vapour, that is emitting from the steam distribution pipe, from condensing on downstream system components, a minimum distance to the steam distribution pipe must be observed (depends on the humidification distance “B ”).
– Steam distribution pipes must not be mounted to round ducts. If you have questions relating to the dimensioning of ventilation ducts in combination with steam humidifiers Condair CP3mini, contact your Condair supplier. 5.3.3 Installing the steam distributors Detailed information on the installation of the steam nozzle W21 and the steam distribution pipe 41-...

– Steam distribution pipe is mounted less than 300 mm above the top edge of the humidifier: min. 20 % min. 20 % Lead the condensate hose down with a minimum slope of 20 %, in the form of a siphon (min. hose bend diameter Ø200 mm), directly into a discharge funnel. Important! Before putting the unit into operation, the siphon of the condensate hose must be filled with water.
– Admissible mains pressure 1.0 to 10.0 bar (hammer-free system) For mains pressures >10 bar, the connection must be made via a pressure reducing valve (ad- justed to 1.0 bar). For mains pressures <1.0 bar please contact your Condair supplier.
– The use of additives such as corrosion inhibitors, disinfectants, etc. is not allowed, since these additives may endanger health and affect proper operation. – If the Condair CP3mini shall be operated with softened or partly softened water, please contact your Condair supplier.
