Functional description The steam humidifier Condair CP3 is a pressureless steam generator that utilizes an electrode heating. The steam humidifier Condair CP3 is designed for air humidification via a steam distributor (steam distribution pipe, ventilation unit or steam distribution system OptiSorp). Steam generation Any time steam is requested, the electrodes are supplied with voltage via main contactor. Simultane- ously, the inlet valve opens and water enters the steam cylinder from the bottom via water cup and supply line. As soon as the electrodes come in contact with the water, current begins to flow between the electrodes, eventually heating and evaporating the water. The more the electrode surface is exposed to water, the higher is the current consumption and thus the steam capacity.

Carrier-Diagram for moist air respectively. Important notes: – The required maximum steam capacity depends on the specific application and the installation. The calculated steam capacity based on the above formulas, the h,x diagram and the condition of the air to be humidified does not consider any steam loss (e.g. due to condensation in the steam hoses and the steam distributors), any heat loss of the unit as well as any absorption or release of humidity of materials located in the room being humidi fi ed. In addition, the calculated steam capacity does not consider any losses caused by the draining rate depending on the water quality as well as any losses occur if the steam humidifier is operated on a mains circuit with a ground fault circuit interrupter. The total amount of losses depends on the entire system and must be taken into consideration when calculating the required steam capacity. If you have any questions regarding the calculation of the steam capacity please contact your Condair supplier. – For systems where the max. required steam capacity varies extensively (e.g. for test facilities or for systems with variable air volume flow, etc.), please contact your Condair supplier.

5. Carefully lift steam cylinder away from the cylinder receptacle, then remove it to the front. CAUTION! Put steam cylinder down carefully to avoid damage to the lower connection piece! Installation of the steam cylinder follows the reverse sequence. Observe the following: – Before installing the steam cylinder in the unit, check the O-ring of the cylinder receptacle for damage and replace if necessary. – Moisten the O-ring of the cylinder receptacle with water (do not use grease or oil), then insert steam cylinder into the receptacle and push it down to the stop. – Attach the electrode plugs and the level sensor plug to the respective electrode and sensor con- nections according to the following table.
7.3.2 Disassembly and assembly of the cleanable steam cylinder type D... 1. Fasten electrode snap fastenings and push electrodes approx. 2 cm downwards into the steam cylinder. 2. Release clamp clips of the cylinder cover and raise cover. 3. Remove carefully electrodes by lifting upwards. 4. Remove O-rings from the electrodes. Note: Intact O-rings can be reused. The assembly of the cleanable steam cylinder follows the reverse sequence. Observe the follow ing: – Before assembling the steam cylinder, check the O-ring in the steam cylinder cover and the O-rings on the electrodes for damage, and replace if necessary. Make sure to relocate O-rings correctly. – Insert electrodes into steam cylinder cover and push them upwards until the snap fasteners engage. – Place the cylinder cover (with mounted O-ring) in the correct position (align the two cams on the steam cylinder body with the corresponding grooves in the cylinder cover) on the cylinder body and secure cover with the fastening clips.
7.3.3 Removal and installation of the water cup and the water hoses To improve accessibility for removing the water cup and the water hoses we recommend to remove the steam cylinder first (see chapter 7.3.1). 1. Release hose clamps using pliers, then disconnect all hoses from the corresponding connectors and remove the hoses. Note: The hoses connected to the water cup may also be removed together with the water cup (see illustration) and then disconnected from the connectors of the water cup outside the unit. 2. Carefully pull fixing clip of the water cup to the front, then push water cup down from the holding device and remove it to the front. The installation of the water cup and the water hoses follows the reverse sequence. Before fixing the water hoses to the connector using the hose clamps, align the hoses in a way that they are not twisted.
7.3.4 Removal and installation of the drain pump The steam cylinder does not need to be removed when removing the drain pump. 1. Detach electric cables (polarity of the cables must not be observed). 2. Release hose clamps and remove the hoses from the connectors. 3. Pull the drain pump off the holding device. 4. Separate the electric motor from the pump body: release the lock on the bayonet catch, then counter-rotate the electric motor and the pump body. The assembly and the installation of the drain pump follows the reverse sequence. Before as- sembling the pump, check O-ring for damage and replace if necessary. Then, place the O-ring on the centering collar and moisten the O-ring with water.
