Overview
Operation
The humidifier consists of an Evaporative Module that is installed in an
air handling unit (AHU) or a duct. Water enters the evaporation module
from the main water supply and reaches the top of the unit. The water
distribution system disperses water over the Evaporative Module like a
waterfall. Warm dry air passes through the wet media, evaporates water,
and raises the humidity level. The SKV also offers up to 21.5°F (12°C) of
cooling as a result of the transfer of energy when the water evaporates.
In order to prevent any possible carry over, an optional droplet separator
can be added at any time during the life of the SKV. Neptronic does
recommend the use of droplet separator when air velocity is above
600FPM (3m/sec).
Any particle or contamination present in the air flow can accumulate and
clog the media. For this reason, Neptronic recommends proper air
filtration, typically and at least 5 microns (EU5). On some critical
applications, such as medical sites or laboratories, a finer filtration might
be required.
