HUMIDIFIRST INTRODUCTION Congratulations on your purchase of a HUMIDIFIRST Mist-Pac ultrasonic humidifier – the highest quality and most “User Friendly” commercial/industrial humidifier available today. Your selection of an ultrasonic humidifier provides you with the benefits of this technology, including energy efficiency, minimal maintenance, and healthy, uncontaminated moisture.
HUMIDIFIRST PRINCIPLES OF ULTRASONIC HUMIDIFIERS Ultrasonic humidifiers vibrate a water mist into the air by using piezoelectric crystals (transducers). The transducers are mounted in a pan of water approximately 1.5 inches deep. Each transducer is approximately the size of a nickel and vibrates at approximately 1.6 megahertz, a speed so fast that the water above the crystal cannot follow the speed of...

HUMIDIFIRST HUMIDIFIRST humidifier sizing calculations When calculating the humidification loads of a space we will generalize and assume that the majority of the humidification load will come from two areas: 1. Ventilation, Exhaust, or Infiltration of air: Most buildings have air exchanges with the outside because of one or more of these three items.

HUMIDIFIRST HUMIDIFIRST “Mist-Pac” Ultrasonic humidifier Specifications Humidifier module and Master Panel The humidifier shall be a packaged, self-contained ultrasonic humidifier using the principle of ultrasonic nebulization. Each humidifier shall use a multiple of ultrasonic transducers that vibrate at approximately 1.6 megahertz, producing a droplet size of approximately 1 micron.
The panel can be locked for security. INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS HUMIDIFIRST humidifiers are packaged humidifiers. Our standard unit requires no field power or control wiring. They simply plug into the standard 120 volt power outlet (we provide a 6 foot power cord). A humidistat is pre-wired to a ten (10) foot cable. A pre-wired ten (10) foot umbilical cord connects the humidifier to the control box.
HUMIDIFIRST INSTALLATION PARAMETERS & GUIDELINES MECHANICAL 1. The supply air temperature to the humidifier modules should be between 40 F and 122 F at 90% relative humidity or less. 2. It is advisable that a safety drain pan be installed underneath the humidifier module and piped to the nearest drain.
HUMIDIFIRST Before starting the humidification system CAUTION !! 1. With the power to the Master control panel disconnected, make sure that all wire connections are tight. Excessive vibration during the shipping process can cause wire connections at terminals and electrical components to become loose.
All electrical connections must be ready and the main power must be available. 1. Before the Humidifirst humidification system is started, the water supply lines that supply water to the humidifier module should be flushed for 5 minutes to ensure that the water lines are clean and free of debris.
HUMIDIFIRST TROUBLE SHOOTING IMPORTANT !!! NEVER WORK ON THE INSIDE OF THE HUMIDIFIER WHEN THE UNIT IS PLUGGED INTO THE WALL OUTLET Symptom: 1. The humidifier does not power up a. If you want the humidification system to operate and it will not, first make sure that there is a call for humidification and that the humidistat set-point is higher than the relative humidity in the space.
If an electrical problem is keeping the solenoid valve open: (Warning – only qualified technicians should do this test as the Humidifirst Master Panel must be energized while making electrical measurements) Call the factory to discuss the best way to test your humidifier.

HUMIDIFIRST TROUBLE SHOOTING (continued) 4. If the transducers are not making a mist: (Please note that after a call for humidification, it may take up to 45 minutes for the humidifier body to fill with water, depending on the type of water treatment system you are using.
HUMIDIFIRST Trouble shooting after the humidifier has operated for a period of time The transducers are so covered with deposits that they do not work properly and the finger that is generated is very small and puts out little mist. The transducer must be kept clean.
MAINTENANCE Basic Maintenance Maintenance of Humidifirst Ultrasonic humidifiers is very simple and plays an important part in keeping the humidifier modules operating properly and extending the life of the components inside. No later than one month after start-up, the humidifier modules should be drained and cleaned.
This will also reduce ware on the electrical components that may occur during summer storms. Shut off the power from the Building electric panel that feeds the Humidifirst Master Panel or unplug the individual humidifier control/power panels. Also, empty the water from the humidifier basin and wipe dry.
YOU and/or the humidification system. Please complete the following checklist and return it to Humidifirst. There will be no warranty of the equipment without the form being completed and returned in a timely manner.
