12.3 Humidifier
12.3.1 Infrared Humidifier
During normal humidifier operation, deposits of mineral solids will collect in humidifier pan and on
the float switch. These must be cleaned periodically to ensure proper operation. Frequency of cleaning
must be locally established since it is dependant on humidifier usage and local water quality. A spare
pan is recommended to reduce maintenance time at unit. The Liebert autoflush system can greatly
increase the time between cleanings, but does not eliminate the need for periodic checks and mainte-
nance (see iCOM user manual SL-18835 for autoflush setup). To help reduce excessive scaling in loca-
tions with difficult water quality, the use of Vapure is recommended (contact your local Emerson
representative).
