INDOOR INSTALLATION
The installation must conform with local building codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the ANSI Z223.1, National Fuel Gas Code, and/or CAN/CGA B149 Installation Codes. Refer to the Gas Piping section of this manual.
LOCATING AND MOUNTING
GS Series humidifiers are designed for floor mounting or on a GS Stand (optional). The clearance dimensions shown in this manual are for reference only and are the minimum required for maintenance of the humidifier. Local and National Codes should be consulted prior to final location and installation of the humidifier. NORTEC cannot accept responsibility for installation code violations.
Figure #1 shows a typical installation with all required connections to the GS Humidifier. Careful consideration should be given to all of these connections when choosing a location for the humidifier.
WARNING: During installation cover the humidifier to prevent any dust or other contaminants from entering the cabinets when activities such as drilling are taking place.
Ambient temperature location for humidifier: 41ºF - 104ºF (5ºC - 40ºC).
Relative humidity location for humidifiers:
5% rh - 80% rh.
All GS humidifiers are rated for the clearance to shown in Figure #2.
Location of the steam distributor should be minimum of 36” above the humidifier.
DO NOT locate humidifier any further than absolutely necessary from steam distributor location. Net output will be reduced as a result of heat loss through steam line. Also, increased static pressure (over 12" W.C.) will result in hot water going down the drain. Consult factory if this situation occurs.
Where possible, mount humidifier at a height convenient for servicing.
Make sure the humidifier is mounted level.
DO NOT mount humidifier on hot surfaces.
The humidifier must be installed so that all electrical components are protected from exposure to water.
