LQQA Humidifier, for circulated water
Chart 1
Zone 1 is the safe zone, in which the water is soft or
demineralized.
Zone 2 is the lower part of the transition zone, in which
the water can be said to be of normal drinking quality.
Zone 3 is the upper part of the transition zone, in which
the water is relatively hard.
Zone 4 is the precipitation zone, in which the water is
very hard. The water must be subjected to partial softe-
ning, so that its quality will be within zone 2–3.
However, the softening treatment must not lower the
quality of the water to zone 1.
Example
Data from the municipal water authority:
pH = 7,6
Bikarbonate 70 mg/l
Calcium 30 mg/l
From Chart 1, the operating point is in zone 1 (safe zone).

Determining the water quality zone
The following particulars are required to be able to deter-
mine the water quality zone.
■the pH of the water
■the bicarbonate concentration (HCO3 ), mg/l
■the calcium concentration (Ca2+), mg/l
This data can be obtained from a municipal water autho-
rity or by analysing the water

pH = 7,6

Water consumption
The water consumption consists of the water evapora-
ted and a certain amount of water bleed-off. This bleed-
off ow is necessary to reduce the consumption of salts
in the circulating water. If the concentration of salts is
too high, salts may be deposited on the humidier ll,
which will have a detrimental effect on the performan-
ce of the humidier.
The chart above can be used to determine the appro-
priate bleed-off ow.

period at a high humidication rate

tively is recommended if the water tray is emptied and
ushed twice a day. (See: To set the timer for emptying
and ushing.)
Periods out of service
The controller of the humidier switches to the emptying
mode whenever the fan is switched out.
Clean the water tray if the system is to be shut down
for an extended period, such as during the annual holiday
and long weekends.
If the humidier is to be out of service for some time,
the humidier lls should be removed, cleaned and sto-
red in a place where they will not sustain damage.
