Installation Instructions and User Manual

Stage 1 – Unit Positioning and Mounting
Safety
Considerations
Any installation work MUST be carried out by suitably qualified personnel.
The following considerations must be taken into account before deciding upon the
location for the SKGE3 Steam Humidifier:
Locate the SKGE3 Steam 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 SKGE3 Steam Humidifier on a water proof floor or install a drain
pan beneath the humidifier.
Positioning the
Humidifier
The humidifier must be installed to ensure the steam hose length is kept to
the shortest possible length.
For flexible steam hoses: the total steam line length must not exceed 5
meters. For longer distances use insulated hard piping.
For insulated hard piping: the total steam line length must not exceed 15 m.
For longer steam line runs, consult factory.
The humidifier must be located in an area that is fully accessible for
inspection and servicing. Observe the minimum access distances as shown
in figures 12 & 13.
Ambient
Condition &
Altitude
The humidifier location MUST have an ambient temperature of less than 30
˚C.
If the above condition is not respected for indoor humidifiers, the warranty of the unit
will be void, as it has not been designed to operate under extreme external
conditions.
The combustion burner of the SKGE3 Steam Humidifier is self-adjusting for any
altitude; the burner will maintain proper combustion and low emission at any altitude.
Steam capacity will be affected by altitudes over 1050m above sea level. Please
refer to the table below to anticipate the ratio of output reduction:
Altitude above sea level (m)
