Guidelines for Installation
APC NetworkAIR™ AFX 39
Water supply to humidifier 1. The humidifier fill valve orifice is sized for supply water pressure
from 15 PSIG (103.4 kPa) to 150 PSIG (1034 kPa).
2. For cases above 150 PSIG (1034 kPa), install a pressure-reducing
valve in the water feed line to the unit.
3. With extremely dirty or muddy water sources, proper filtration is
required on the unit’s incoming water line.
4. DO NOT use softened water with the humidifier. Softened water is
too conductive.
5. DO NOT use completely demineralized water with the humidifier.
The minerals allow the electrode principle to work.
6. DO NOT use a hot water source. Doing so will cause deposits that
will eventually block the fill valve orifices.
7. Water supplies with high conductivity (above 800 mW) must be
preconditioned for proper operation and longevity of the humidi-
fier.
Water supply A 16- to 20-mesh strainer must be installed in the water supply to the
water units to prevent clogging of brazed plate condenser. This is a field
item.Also recommended on glycol units.
