10.3 Maintenance
Maintenance on the humidifi er must be carried out by CAREL technical
service or other professionally qualifi ed personnel.
Important: before performing any operations:
•
power the unit off at the switch (off );
•
wait for all of the water to be emptied from the humidifi er tank.
The fi ll valve is normally closed and the drain valve is normally open,
consequently, when powering down the humidifi er, the unit is drained
automatically.
Note: preventive maintenance on the humidifi er is recommended
to ensure optimum system performance. Maintenance includes:
•
checking tightness of the electrical connectors;
•
cleaning and visual inspection of the components;
•
checking water level and making sure there are no leaks.
Important:
•
the piezoelectric transducer is very delicate: when cleaning the inside
of the tank, make sure not to scratch it, for example with a screwdriver;
•
tighten the nuts applying the maximum allowed torque (8 ± 0.5
kg·cm). Excessive tightening torque may damage the humidifi er.
10.4 Routine maintenance
Routine maintenance on humidifi ers involves cleaning all the parts in
contact with the water:
1.
fi ll/drain lines;
2.
water tank.
Maintenance intervals depend on water quality and humidifi er
operating hours. The use of demineralised water minimises maintenance
requirements.
Note: it is recommended to perform routine maintenance at least
once a year, irrespective of water quality and humidifi er operating hours.
It is recommended to periodically check operation of the piezoelectric
transducers, the corresponding driver boards and the fans, by carrying
out a visual inspection:
1.
make sure there a water column above each of the piezoelectric
transducers during humidifi er operation;
2.
check that the LEDs on the driver boards are on and are yellow during
humidifi er operation;
3.
check that the fans are running during humidifi er operation.
10.5 Special maintenance and repairs
Special maintenance and repairs may involve replacement of:
1.
fi ll/drain solenoid valve;
2.
driver board;
3.
piezoelectric transducer;
4.
fan;
5.
electronic control board;
6.
power supply.
10.6 Replacing the components
To access the load/drain solenoid, remove the right side closure
A
1.
loosen and remove the screw (A);
2.
remove the cover (B).
Drain solenoid valve
1.
remove the electrical connectors and move the spring fasteners so
as to remove the hoses, then remove the block (D): elbow connector,
drain valve, T-connector.
Fill solenoid valve
1.
loosen and remove the screws (arrows) so as to remove the bracket (E);
2.
remove the electrical connectors and move the spring fasteners so
as to remove the hoses, then remove the block (F): elbow connector,
fi ll valve, connector.
