INDOOR INSTALLATION
The installation must conform with local building
codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the ANSI
Z223.1, National Fuel Gas Code, and/or CAN/CGA
B149 Installation Codes. Refer to the Gas Piping
section of this manual.
LOCATING AND MOUNTING
GS Series humidifiers are designed for floor
mounting or on a GS Stand (optional). The clearance
dimensions shown in this manual are for reference
only and are the minimum required for maintenance of
the humidifier. Local and National Codes should be
consulted prior to final location and installation of the
humidifier. NORTEC cannot accept responsibility for
installation code violations.
Figure #1 shows a typical installation with all
required connections to the GS Humidifier. Careful
consideration should be given to all of these
connections when choosing a location for the
humidifier.
WARNING: During installation cover the
humidifier to prevent any dust or other
contaminants from entering the cabinets when
activities such as drilling are taking place.
· Ambient temperature location for humidifier:
41ºF - 104ºF (5ºC - 40ºC).
· Relative humidity location for humidifiers:
5% rh - 80% rh.
·
All GS humidifiers are rated for the clearance to
shown in Figure #2.
·
Location of the steam distributor should be
minimum of 36” above the humidifier.
·
DO NOT locate humidifier any further than
absolutely necessary from steam distributor
location. Net output will be reduced as a result of
heat loss through steam line. Also, increased
static pressure (over 12" W.C.) will result in hot
water going down the drain. Consult factory if this
situation occurs.
·
Where possible, mount humidifier at a height
convenient for servicing.
·
Make sure the humidifier is mounted level.
·
DO NOT mount humidifier on hot surfaces.
·
The humidifier must be installed so that all
electrical components are protected from
exposure to water.
