Utilities

Proximity to utilities and drains

Consider proximity to required utilities, such as power, water, and network connections. While required utilities can be brought to nearly any selected site, there is a potential for increased costs and decreased efficiency when the HP POD 240a is located further from the utility source.

For utility clearance information, see HP POD 240a dimensions and required clearances (on page 8).

System utilities

The site location must accommodate the following utilities:

Water supply (on page 15)

Drainage (on page 16)

Power (on page 17)

Water supply

The HP POD 240a requires supply water for the humidifier. The supply water must meet the following requirements:

Requirement	Specification

Pressure	between 0.1 and 0.8 MPa (1 and
	8 bars)
Temperature	between 1 and 40 °C
Instant flow-rate	no lower than the rated flow of the
	fill solenoid valve

Connection	G3/4M
Hardness	no greater than 40°fH (equal to
	400 ppm of CaCO3)

Conductivity	125 to 1250 μS/cm
Organic compounds	None

Do not treat the water with softeners, because softeners might produce foam, which affects the operation of the unit.

Do not use well water, industrial water, water from cooling circuits, or water contaminated by any chemicals or bacteria.

Do not add disinfectants or anti-corrosive compounds to the water, which are potential irritants. For additional dimensions, see the HP Site Preparation Drawing Package (on page 6).
