EVAPORATIVE PRINCIPLE
GENERALAire humidifers are 100% evaporative, adding moisture in the form of
water vapor only. They are clean operating. The nuisance of airborne water
droplets or mineral dust is avoided. |
Note: 140° hot water supplied to
the humidifier in heat pump applications will increase capacity 4.3 GPD. |
|
EVAPORATIVE PRINCIPLE
GENERALAire humidifers are 100% evaporative, adding moisture in the form of
water vapor only. They are clean operating. The nuisance of airborne water
droplets or mineral dust is avoided. |
Forced warm air heating systems
create a pressure differential that diverts some heated air to the
humidifier through a bypass duct. There, the warm air absorbs moisture from
a water-soaked evaporator pad and then rejoins the primary warm air stream
for distribution throughout the living area. A solenoid valve and patented
distribution tray meter and disperse water uniformly across the evaporator
pad. Unevaporated water drains from the unit. |
|
EVAPORATIVE MEDIA |
990-13 Evaporator Pad. Designed
for high output with minimal hard water scale accumulation. UL listed. |
|
WATER SUPPLY |
Dependable stainless steel
solenoid valve with monel wire mesh filter that protects the precision
machined Teflon flow-control orifice. Saddle valve supplied. Use 1/4" copper
tubing. |
|
DRAIN CONNECTION |
High capacity 5/8" drain and hose
prevents clogging. Includes 15' vinyl hose except recircating models. |
|
