A fresh mains cold water service should be used to supply the
unit. The water pressure should be between 1 and 6 bars (15
to 90 psi) & should not exceed 40°C (104°F) in temperature.
The water supply connection is under bottom of the unit. The
humidifier is delivered with a water inlet hose of 50 cm (20") long
with a 3/4" female fitting to the cold water supply. A direct
copper connection is PROHIBITED.
A check valve should be located on the mains and cold wa-
ter service connection to the unit.
The inlet valve base has a basket filter (s.a. page 38).
The RTH humidifier uses water to produce steam so lea-
kage may happen causing potential damage. If an installa-
tion in false ceiling or above prime rooms (such as mu-
seum, exhibition or laboratory rooms) is considered, ensure
that the floor below the humidifier is constructed from wa-
terproof materials (with draining facilities) to withstand any
water spilling during servicing or if a problem occurs.
Information about the water quality : Chloride concentration :
< 75 mg/l ; phosphate concentration : < 5 mg/l ; chlorine concen-
tration (3 to 6° dA) : < 100 mg/l ; poor concentration in CO2 ;
organic elements in poor concentration.
The RTH humidifier can run with the following water qualities :
x Tap or raw water : water TH between 5° and 40° French
grade
x Demineralized water : 30 μS minimum (caution : the de-
mineralized water is corrosive ; use appropriate piping
material : stainless steel, PVC)
x Softened water (TH 0° not recommended) : the cation exchangers (softeners) do not suit for the water
supply as they do not bring down the mineral salt content disolved in the water., the polyphosphate mea-
suring devices as well.
A water softener consists basically in replacing a calcium ion by a sodium ion the solubility capability of which is
about 7 times higher. So a water softener does not affect the quantity of mineral salts contained in the water but
alters their nature.
An excess of sodium chloride may generate foam which disturbs greatly the correct running of the humidifier. It
is essential that a duplex softener be used.
A small volume of tap water must be added to the softened water to get a TH value of 10° minimum and a wa-
ter analysis is recommended to determine the sodium chloride content.

The following drawings show the
water draining connections that should
be made.
1. The Devatec supplied steam hose
should be used :
RTH 3to 15:1.0m (39.37")Ø25mm (1")
hose with 1 hose clamp.
This hose is designed for connecting the
humidifier to the drain. Regular replace-
ment is recommended.
2. If rigid piping is used, it must be heat
resistant PVC material (100°C-212°F)
3. The drain hose must be free from any
obstacle particularly when it comes to
connecting several units.
4. It is recommended the use of offset
tundish from the underside of the unit
as shown. This will prevent any steam
and/or condensation from getting into
the cabinet.
5. A funnel can also be used provided it
is offset from the underside of the
humidifier and that a siphon is made
as per the diameter of the draining
hose.

Absorbing distance or vapor trail « D »
A certain length is required so that the steam coming out of the steam distribution pipe be absorbed by the
air. All along this length described as the absorbing distance, the steam can still be seen in the airflow as a mist
which can condensate in water against any obstacle if placed within. To prevent condensation, this absorbing
distance should be calculated before positioning the steam distribution pipes.
How to calculate the absorbing distance « D »
In order determine the absorbing distance, the attached calcalation table can be used :
HR1 = relative humidity of air before humidification in %.
HR2 = relative humidity of air after humidification in %.
D mini = minimum humidification distance in metres (m).
Nota bene: this calculation table is to be used for temperatures between 10°C and 25°C (50°-77°F) only.
Minimal humidification distance
The steam distribution pipes must be positioned after the minimum humidification distance calculated with the
help of the above table..
