INSTALLATION

RECEIVING EQUIPMENT

1.Check packing slip to ensure ALL material has been received.

2.Inspect box for damage and note on shipping waybill accordingly.

3.After unpacking, inspect unit for damage and if damage is found, advise shipper as soon as possible.

4.Inspect unit (humidifier) to ensure it is the correct model, phase, and voltage. If any are incorrect, advise the factory or your local representative immediately.

NOTE: All products are shipped on an F.O.B. factory basis. Any and all damage, loss, or breakage claims are to be made directly to the shipping company.

The NORTEC MES-U electrode humidifier is the culmination of many years of research and development in the electrode humidifier industry. This unit has been built by skilled craftspeople and thoroughly tested before shipment and should, if the following instructions are observed, provide many years of trouble-free operation.

FOR HUMIDIFIERS INSTALLED IN THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES: A city of Los Angeles approved spring-loaded double ball CHECK VALVE should be supplied and installed by the contractor on each of the potable water inlets to each humidifier.

Recommended valve manufacturer: Watts Regulator (phone 508-688-1811), model #7, size 3/8” NPT inlet and outlet.

Each drain line from these humidifiers shall be routed, without dips or sags, to terminate above the flood level rim of a City of Los Angeles approved indirect waste receptor.

No combustible materials shall be placed in the duct and/or the air plenum.

PRINCIPAL OF OPERATION

When the humidistat calls, the cylinder fills to 110% of the Full Load Amperage (F.L.A.) or to the top of the cylinder, whichever comes first. See Figure #1.

If it reaches 110% F.L.A. the water heats and boils away to a level giving 90% F.L.A.

An electronic timer uses the rate of amp fall to determine the water level. The objective is to concentrate current-carrying minerals in the cylinder so that a smaller volume of water is required to produce the rated steam output.

This achieves the longest life for the disposable cylinder because of minimal electrode coverage and use of less energy because the high concentration allows a minimal drain rate.

When 90% F.L.A. is reached, the fill valve will open refilling cylinder to 110% F.L.A. On occasion, the drain valve will also come on if water level is too low, indicating too high a concentration and the requirement for a dilution of the water in the cylinder.

If the water reaches top of cylinder before 110% F.L.A., the fill valve shuts off via the sensor and fill-boil-fill-boil cycle continues, cycling off the red high water sensor light until the concentration becomes high enough to reach 110% F.L.A. The above described control process will then take over.

MES-U specifications

Nortec Industries MES-U is a cutting-edge Manufacturing Execution System (MES) designed to enhance operational efficiency and performance in manufacturing environments. As industry demands for agility and responsiveness grow, the MES-U stands out as a crucial tool for modern manufacturers looking to optimize their production processes.

One of the main features of the MES-U is its real-time data acquisition capability. The system integrates seamlessly with various machines and equipment, collecting data continuously as products move through the production line. This provides operators with an immediate overview of performance metrics, allowing for quick decision-making and timely interventions when issues arise. The ability to monitor production in real-time ensures that manufacturers can maintain high productivity levels and reduce downtime.

Another significant feature of the Nortec Industries MES-U is its user-friendly interface. The intuitive design allows operators at all levels of expertise to navigate the system easily. Key information such as production schedules, machine statuses, and quality control metrics are presented clearly, enabling efficient workflow management. This accessibility is crucial in enabling teams to adapt quickly to changes in production demand and operational challenges.

The MES-U employs advanced analytics and reporting tools that empower manufacturers to leverage the data collected. Users can generate detailed reports on production metrics, quality data, and operational efficiency, enabling ongoing assessment and strategy refinement. This data-driven approach helps organizations uncover insights that can lead to improved processes, waste reduction, and cost savings.

Integration is another critical characteristic of the MES-U. The system can connect with other enterprise-level solutions, such as Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems and Supply Chain Management (SCM) tools, providing a cohesive view of the entire production ecosystem. This interoperability facilitates better coordination between departments and enhances overall organizational agility.

Scalability is also a defining aspect of the MES-U. Whether a manufacturer operates a single facility or multiple sites, the system can adapt to varying levels of complexity and production demands. This flexibility ensures that as companies grow and evolve, their MES can support new requirements without significant disruption.

In summary, Nortec Industries MES-U is a robust and versatile solution that combines real-time data acquisition, user-friendly design, advanced analytics, and seamless integration capabilities. With these features, manufacturers can enhance their operational efficiency, adapt quickly to changes, and drive continuous improvement across their processes.
