General Recommendations
Any installation work MUST be carried out by suitably qualified personnel.
Location
Consider the following points before deciding the location for the SKG4 humidifier:
Locate the SKG4 humidifier in an area clear of combustible materials, gasoline, and other
flammable vapours and liquids. Do not install in potentially explosive or flammable
atmospheres laden with grain dust, sawdust, or similar airborne materials.
If the appliance is installed in an insulated area, it must be kept free and clear of insulating
materials, as they may be combustible. If insulation is added after the humidifier is installed,
an inspection of the humidifier area must be carried out to ensure that there is no insulation
coming into contact with the humidifier.
Provide adequate room ventilation air in accordance with local codes and regulations.
With the exception of ducted combustion air installation, do not locate units in tightly sealed
rooms or small compartments without provision for adequate air for combustion and room
ventilation.
Combustion and ventilation air must be supplied through one permanent low-level and one
permanent high-level opening communicating directly with the outside air.
Humidifier flue gases must be vented to the outdoors. Locate the humidifier as near as
possible to an outside wall or roof so that the flue pipe from the humidifier is short and direct.
Locate the SKG4 humidifier on a water proof floor or install a drain pan beneath the
humidifier.
The humidifier must be installed in a way that ensures the steam hose length is kept to the
shortest possible length.
Consider the total steam line length between the humidifier and the steam distributor based
on the steam line material type:
o
For flexible steam hose, total steam line must not exceed 5 meters. For longer distances,
use insulated hard piping.
o
For insulated hard piping, the total steam line is determined by the humidifier capacity:
0.67 m for each kg/hr capacity of the humidifier, with a maximum of 15 m. For longer
steam line runs, consult factory.
The humidifier must be installed in a way that ensures the steam hose length is kept to the
shortest possible length.
The humidifier must be located in an area that is fully accessible for inspection and servicing.
Observe the minimum clearances as shown in the following sections.
Positioning
The humidifier is designed to be installed directly on the floor.
The humidifier is provided with adjustable legs in order to ensure proper level (standard
enclosure only).
Provide a level, solid foundation for the humidifier.
Ensure that the floor beneath the humidifier is water proof to withstand any water spillage
during servicing or in the event of a problem.
