General description

EVAPORATIVE HUMIDIFIER OPERATING PRINCIPLES

FISAIR evaporative humidifiers are units designed to increase the water vapour content of the treated air, by making use of the natural evaporation of water from its liquid phase. The air supply being treated is passed through a cellular panel dampened using an irrigation system. This panel is composed of undulating sheets of inorganic paper with stiffening and water absorbent additives.

The layout, as channels criss-crossing the panel provides a huge surface for water-air contact, which maximises water evaporation, and reduces to a minimum resistance to the movement of the air (pressure drop).

FISAIR evaporative humidifiers work in a similar way to natural processes in rivers, lakes and seas. The vapour added to the air is exclusively pure water vapour.

PROVISIONAL STORAGE

During storage, units must be kept dry and protected from the elements.

Warning: Avoid direct sunlight and sites in which temperatures can exceed 50ºC. Plastic components and derivatives could be deformed.

Thermohygrometric conditions during storage:

Temperature: [-10… 50ºC] Relative humidity: [5… 95%HR] Without condensation

MECHANICAL DESIGN

The humidifier comprises the following elements:

A stainless steel self-supporting chassis-water tank structure that houses the unit.

A set of evaporative cassettes of variable sizes and thicknesses, depending on the model and stainless steel surround.

A stainless steel float valve automatic control mechanism for the water supply, to maintain the appropriate level in the water tank, so the unit works correctly. This valve can be regulated in order to set it to the available water pressure in the network.

A stainless steel water tank to hold the water, which is designed so it can be completely emptied by gravity.

A pump for supplying water from the water tank to evaporative panels (technical data on page 23).

A stainless steel mechanism integrated into the water tank acting as an overflow for the system in the event of water level control faults.

A distribution collector + regulation valves with flow meter set to supply the appropriate irrigation individually to the evaporative panels.

A diversion from the water flow to the distribution collector regulates a constant flow of water, which is eliminated from the system in order to maintain a uniform amount of mineral salts in the irrigation water, which we will refer to as the “Constant bleed-off system”. (See page 26).

DROPLET SEPARATOR

Operating conditions giving rise to droplet carry-over, can be handled by adding a second PP profile panel to the humidifiers to capture the droplets being detached from the evaporative panel.

16HEF2 Series Installation and maintenance manual

Installation requirements

GENERALITIES

In order to optimize maintenance/installation, humidifiers must be placed on a level waterproof surface, with a drain or run-off, so possible leaks can be dealt with during installation, set up, operation and maintenance.

Assembly inside an air handling unit must ensure the air being treated passes through the evaporative panels, by closing off the perimeters adequately to prevent possible by-passes of the air flow.

All humidifier components are employed downstream, or in other words, in the outlet of the humidified air, as standard.

LOCATION AND SERVICING SPACE

The normal location of the humidifier in the air handling system is after the pre-heating coil and before the cold/heating coil, if there is one. However, the position must be chosen by the project designer.

The area where the water basin is located must be equipped with a peep-hole (minimum diameter of 150 mm) and lighting must be provided to allow periodic visual inspections.

ASSEMBLY OF THE AIR HANDLING UNIT (A.H.U.)

HEF2 Series humidifiers are normally used in conjunction with the air handling unit or A.H.U., after the (pre) heating coil and before the cold and/or (post) heating coil, as shown in the diagram below.

Thermohygrometric operative conditions (*)

Temperature: [5… 40ºC] Relative Humidity: [5… 95%HR]

We recommend allowing for a 500 mm space before and after the unit for inspection and servicing.

Although the humidifying matrix is not combustible, it is advisable to not exceed process air temperatures of 50ºC, in the event that the pump does not work and there is no resulting irrigation, because the irrigation piping material could be deformed.

When the pump works, 40ºC should not be exceeded on the side of the pump.

To ensure complete drying of the cooling pad, after a work period, the air fan of the UTA must be working during the times set out in the following table:

Connection to the water supply for filling the water tankA

WATER CONNECTIONS

Connect the water supply (A) to the ½” male BSP float valve (6) using suitable piping with a cut-off valve (1). We recommend the installation of a 0.5 mm light filter (2). The float valve can be regulated to set it to a range of water supply pressures, as shown in figure 1 on this page.

WATER TANK WATER SUPPLY

Adjust the water level of the water tank to between 3 cm below the level of the overflow by regulating the float valve.

Regulating the float valve

[Note]

The water level must never fall below the minimum water level of the pump. Water levels below this minimum irreparably harm the pump.

Adjust the irrigation valves of the evaporative cassettes so their surfaces are uniformly wet. The empirical value of approximately 1 litre/second for each square metre of irrigation surface is enough to exceed the water needed for evaporation. Generally, it is just necessary to ensure the irrigation of the panels has excess water falling into the water tank.

The importance of constant bleed-off based on conductivity

Water evaporates because the water vapour pressure is higher in the evaporative panel than in the air passing through it. Since only the water evaporates, dissolved mineral salts remain in solution, which gradually increases their concentration, despite new water being added to compensate for the evaporation.

In order to prevent the formation of mineral deposits on the surfaces of the evaporative panel (giving rise to a progressive increase in air pressure drop and reducing operational performance) it is essential to drain off some of the recirculated water to the network during the evaporation.

Bleed-off based on the COC (cycle of concentration).

Bleed-off = Evaporation (COC-1)

Cycle of concentration COC based on conductivity (100-1000 µS/cm)

Comment: Always in line with the recommended parameters of the drinking water supply.

• 100 µS/cm = 9 COC• 550 µS/cm = 6 COC• 1000 µS/cm = 2 COC

Calculation example:

• Based on drinking water network parameters• Water evaporation= 3.23 l/min • Water conductivity= 550 µS/cm• COC= 6• Bleed-off = 3.23/(6-1)= 0.65 l/min

Regulation valve with flow meter to adjust the bleed-off. It is regulated using a screwdriver as shown in figure 1.

Initial approximate settings can be made as 10% of the total flow of the irrigation. By regularly observing the state of the panels (on the air input side), after 1 or 2 weeks in use, if there are no white mineral deposits on the surfaces, the bleed-off flow can be reduced, or on the other hand, if there are lime deposits, it can be increased.

Analytical parameters of the drinking water network (Recommended)

• Hardness of the water ( CaCO3): 50-170 ppm • Chlorine ( Cl): <55 ppm • PH: 6-8 • Silica (SiO): <30 ppm • Iron ( Fe): <0.2 ppm • Oils and grease: <2 ppm • Total dissolved solids: <550ppm • Total alkalinity ( CaCo3): 50-170 ppm • Suspended solids: <5 ppm

(*) In the HEF2 series of recirculated water this solenoid valve must always be installed upstream of the float valve.

In the HEF2 series-DW (Direct Water), this solenoid valve manages the water feed of the irrigation system (it will be supplied assembled on the unit). Eliminates the standard 1/2” ball valve and makes it impossible for the 3-way motor-zone valve to be assembled.

In the case of HEF2 series of recirculated water, the maximum level must manage this solenoid valve.It is used as a security system in the event of a possible failure of the float valve.It must not be used for regulating the water feed. The float valve is responsible for the regulation.

U.V. lamp disinfection system (*)F

ULTRAVIOLET LAMP

Concerns related to pathogenic organisms in the water causing illnesses and contaminating industrial processes, have led FISAIR S.L. to provide the optional integration of ultraviolet technology in its evaporative units. This type of system eliminates bacteria, viruses and other pathogens, prevents their reproduction, and results in completely safe drinking water.

U.V. radiation is one band of the electromagnetic spectrum. It has more energy than visible light. The irradiation of germs present in the water with U.V. light harms their DNA molecules (figure 1) in a number of ways, which prevents cell division and kills them. The most harmful radiation for germs has a wavelength of 254 nanometres. The DNA exposed to this energy can only absorb up to a maximum, after which there is an irreparable inactivation of the growth of the pathogens.

The only control panel that includes it as standard, is the panel in which the U.V. lamp is integrated (figure 2).

Installation and recommendations

Maintenance

GENERALITIES

FISAIR HEF2 Series evaporative humidifiers essentially work by means of the irrigation of the evaporative panels. Humidifiers execute their function whenever air currents pass through them and the water pump irrigates the panels.

Note: To remove superficial inorganic material/dust on the panels and to prevent its transmission to working areas, we recommend leaving the water irrigation pump on for 6 hours, with no air flow, in order to wash the panels. Subsequently, the washing water must be emptied before starting up the unit as per normal.

To ensure the correct operation, according to the hygienic standard VDI6022, maintenance should be performed regularly as directed, and it is also necessary to keep a maintenance record.

GENERALITIES

Humidifier components are very easy to maintain, because the only active parts are the irrigation pump and the float valve. The following elements require some kind of maintenance:

Once a month, the irrigation pump: The most important thing is to monitor to ensure dirt does not obstruct the suction impulsion circuit and electricity consumption is lower than the power rating shown on its plate.

Once a year, the float valve: This must be inspected on a regular basis to ensure its mechanical closure and opening works correctly.

Once a year, the control valves: These must be inspected to ensure their mechanical regulatory function works correctly.

Once a year, the solenoid valves (if applicable): These must be inspected to ensure their mechanical closure and opening works correctly.

HEF2 SERIES WITH EXTERIOR AIR OR INSTALLED IN AN AHU OUTDOORS

All units using the HEF2 Series with exterior air must stop the pump and drain the water tank in the event of preheater faults. Units for adiabatic cooling of the return air must drain the water tank water during the winter.

OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE CONTROL

Humidifiers work with excess panel irrigation. If evaporative performance is to be regulated, this is not done by controlling the quantity of irrigation water but rather:

Regulating the number of cassettes in operation. The FISAIR HEF2 can be equipped with the components necessary for external control or may also include FISAIR stage control panel CCE.

Alternatively, by controlling irrigation operation times, so the humidity/temperature regulator acts on the pump working time.

Once every three months, the evaporative panels: Their operating life basically depends on the correct use of the constant bleed-off system for mineral salts which prevents the formation of superficial lime deposits, from the supply of drinking or industrial water. If they are not maintained properly, the panels have to be replaced more often, because the flow of air through them can be blocked by these deposits.

Once a year, the irrigation: Take the steps described on the page entitled “Cleaning the individual irrigation system”.

In the interests of correct maintenance, it is advisable to make regular observations on the days after installing the system, to understand the specific behaviour of the installation, so the draining and cleaning programmes can be set. Similarly, during long periods of inactivity (summer for humidification for comfort, and winter for evaporative refrigeration) it is essential to completely drain and clean the water tank.

48HEF2 Series Installation and maintenance manual

Cleaning and disinfection

Evaporative humidification: A natural method that does not carry bacteria.

The operational features of evaporative humidifiers are based on the natural effect of the water evaporation when an air flow goes through/by a wet surface (is the same natural principle that occurs when water evaporates from waterfalls, rivers, lakes, seas...).

Evaporation means that the water leaves the humidifier as pure vapour (gas). Minerals and eventual pollutants stay in the water and can be eventually drained / eliminated.

With no droplets or aerosols carry over, the bacteria can’t be transferred to the humidified air. It is important to use a droplet separator when its needed.

The evaporative humidifiers work with water temperatures below 24°C, very far from the optimal growth temperatures of the bacteria present in the water, essentially Legionella pneumophila, with an optimum growth temperature of 37-41ºC.

The water basin, manifold, irrigation system and the other components of the HEF2 series are specially designed for there to be complete emptying by gravity, without the aid of mechanical elements.

Based on the quality of treated air and water supply, a cleaning and emptying inspection plan should be established.

Evaporative humidifiers must be cleaned regularly to prevent contamination. All surfaces of the components (panel, pipes and especially the water basin) should be disinfected with an appropriate solution.

You must pay special attention to cleaning the piping system, especially in bends and junctions; the cleaning process must reach all ends of the system.

In the case of the panels, the use of chemical disinfectants for daily maintenance is not recommended because it could reduce the efficiency of the panel and its useful life. If the use of chemicals is necessary, either for a long period of inactivity or any other reason, an effective method is to dip the panels in chlorine disinfectant such as sodium hypochlorite (bleach) or sodium percarbonate.

In the case of the use of disinfectants with chlorine, it is imperative to consider the formation of toxic chlorine gas when combined with an acid solution.

egarding disinfection of other components, the same bleach solution may be valid. The number and frequencies of the cleaning /disinfection process must be established by the installation responsible in function of the installation requirements, unit working time, water quality, air quality, etc.

To insist once more, the optimal performance is principally based on a correct irrigation regulation, a correct bleed-off regulation and a correct emtying regulation.

An additional and very good practice would be to add a water supply treatment.

Hygienic conformity test.

The HEF2E humidifiers have the “hygienic conformity test” certificate. Complying with the requirements of the following standards:

For air conditioning: • VDI 6022, part 1 (07/2011) • SWKI VA104-01 (04/2006) • VDI 3803, part 2 (02/2010)

For hospitals: • DIN 1946-4, (12/2008)

All the materials included in the HEF2E have obtained a negative result in the proliferation of pathogenic microorganisms. The non-metallic components comply with the requirements of standard DIN EN 846 “Plastics. Assessment of the action of microorganisms”
