Maintenance
Whenever possible, the units should be positioned within a free space of
2 - 4 m diameter, and not less than 2 m below the ceiling. When the deflec-
tor hood Z66 is used, the unit can also be installed against a wall. In this
case the minimum distance between the top edge of the Condair 3001 and
the ceiling is 1,2 m.
In case of shed-type buildings, attention should be paid to the following:
Since humid air is lighter than dry air and therefore rises, the units should
not be installed under the roof, otherwise condensation may occur on the
skylights or the humidity may escape through open air vents.
Any cold water pipes within the throw of the mist should be insulated.
Standard mist: Operation without collar. Output at 60 % relative humidity
and 20°C (68°F): 3 liter/h
Fine mist:
Use collar. Output at 60% relative humidity and 20°C (68°F):
2.4 liter/h
Liquids with lower surface tension and rate of evaporation than water pro-
duce larger atomized particles, which may under certain circumstances lead
to considerable condensation in the vicinity of the unit. Liquids of this kind
should therefore not be used, or a sleeve should be fitted. Only clean water
should be used for air humidification.
For the automatic control of air humidity we recommend our Hygrostat H-4
for single units and the Hygrostat HRK-1 for the control of two units.
Automatic water feed is achieved by means of the float chamber with level
monitor. The float chamber can be used wherever a water overflow is either
available or easy to install. The connected pressure is 0.3 - 6 bar.
The Condair 3001 is equipped with a maintenance free motor which does
not require re-lubrication. Apart from regular cleaning, the appliance requires
no maintenance.
