Placement overview
General Notes on Positioning
The positioning of a system is always determined during planning and noted in the system documents.
Prior to mounting the Nortec ML Flex humidification units, ensure that all hose layouts, distances between
heads and atomization clearances have been considered and adhered to, as per
.
The recommended hose layouts, distances between humidification heads and atomization clearances,
are shown below. Consult local and national installation regulations. Nortec does not accept responsibility
for violations of the installation codes.
The following general positioning notes, however, have to be read and complied with in any case:
• Make sure that the construction (rafter, beam, wall, pillar, ceiling construction, etc.) on which the
devices and/or system components will be mounted disposes of a sufficient load-carrying capacity
and is suitable for fixing
• Position the Nortec ML Flex atomizers in such a way to enable the atomized mist to spread freely.
When the mist is prevented from spreading by obstacles (e.g. ceilings, beams, ventilation ducts,
airflow, machinery, etc.), turbulences can build up and condensation may occur as a result.
•
shows the recommended clearances, of the expansion of the atomization stream,
and
the clearances that have to be maintained. These are ideal and recommended capacities using ML
nozzles under standard conditions. Different weather, climate and indoor conditions can alter the
spread and distance of the mist
• As shown in
when the nozzles and humidification heads are placed one opposite the
other, make sure that a minimum distance of 20 feet (6 m) is adhered to. This will avoid the streams
to condensate each other.
• Pay attention to the airflow of the room. Do not install humidification heads or nozzles in the immedi-
ate vicinity of a supply, return or exhaust system or of a cold-air inlet.
• Do not direct humidification heads or their nozzles at cold parts of a building, e.g. outside walls,
windows, etc. (risk of condensation).
• Insulate cold-water pipes in the area of the atomizing stream (risk of condensation).
• The evaporation process absorbs heat from the ambient air. For this reason, make sure that the
atomized stream is not directed on persons or on places directly above workplaces.
• In order to guarantee optimum humidification, ensure that the atomizers are sensibly distributed in
the room.
• The system components have to be mounted in such a way to provide enough space for operation
and maintenance.
