(“Dry Run”). The cylinder water is periodically flushed out with a heavy-duty blow-down pump (10). Hygromatik’s SUPER FLUSH system effectively assists this operation. The SUPER FLUSH mecha- nism generates a strong whirlpool effect in the strainer basket which aids removal of scale deposits during the blow-down pro- cess.
For maintenance the cylinder can be drained by pressing the control switch „Pos.II”. 4.3 Internal Output Setting Continuous control of the HeaterLine Type steam humidifier is achieved by proportional control ( pulse-width modulation) of the heater elements. In this way the humidifier can be proportionally operated across the entire output range of 5% - 100% nominal capacity.
5. Mechanical Installation Warning: Installation of this unit should be performed by quali- fied personnel only. Hygromatik accept no liability for damage due to faulty installation. Obey all safety instructions and warnings on the unit. During installation the unit must be disconnected from its power supply.
5.1.1 Fitting Measures Wall Distance (all dimensions in mm) Note: It is often advantageous to use existing water connections (feed and drain) when selecting the steam humidifier.

5.3 Absorption Distance B The "absorption distance" (B ) is defined as the distance from the steam feed to where the steam is completely absorbed in the treated air. Inside the absorption distance, steam is visible as mist in the air stream. Condensation may collect on anything installed inside the absorption distance.
Page 20
Length I of the usable steam manifold depends on the dimen- sions of the air duct. The length of the absorption distance can be reduced by using multiple steam manifolds (also see section on the steam manifold). Method: Graphically determine absorption distance B using the absorp- tion distance nomogram (also see Section „Absorption Distance Nomogramm“).
5.4 Steam Manifold 5.4.1 Notes on Installation These notes are based on a homogeneous Horizontal installation of Standard steam manifold installation: steam manifold Duct Steam Manifold Air flow L1=L2=L3 An even distribution of steam manifolds ensures a uniform steam distribution. Please use the total hight of the duct! Steam Manifold Air flow...

Page 33
HL30 - HL45 HL6 -HL27 Connection condensate hose / hoses Lay the condensate hose at an approximate incline of 5-10% to the steam cylinder connection fitting, to allow the condensate to drain freely. Note: It is recommended to form a loop of 200 mm diameter as a vapour trap provided there is enough space.
Installation type 2 If the steam manifold is positioned lower than 500 mm above the steam humidifier: » The condensate must be drained separately. » To prevent steam loss, lay a loop at least 200 mm in di- ameter. » To ensure condensate drainage, place the loop (vapor trap) as far away as possible below the steam manifold connection.
5.10 Chimney-compartment Between electrical compartment (right side) and steam produc- tion compartment (left side) the chimney compartment is located. The chimney compartment is used to cool electronic components. For proper function make sure that the three holes in the top side of the housing are not covered - otherwise the heat removal is too low and a thermal cutout could be triggered.
When employing demineralized water or purified conden- sate, do not use copper or brass in the supply or drain lines of the HeaterLine unit. These materials can be cor- roded by demineralized water or purified condensate. Instead, use stainless steel or temperature-resistant plas- tic pipes.
