ElectroVap CMC
Safety information
Important
This section should be read carefully to ensure the safe and correct installation of your humidifier.
GENERAL
This manual contains all details necessary for the planning and installation of the ElectroVap CMC
humidifier. In addition commissioning and maintenance details are included.
The manual is intended for use by engineers and properly trained technical personnel. Maintenance,
servicing or repair work must only be carried out by suitable skilled and qualified personnel, the
customer must be responsible for ensuring their suitability.
Any risks or hazards, especially when working from ladders or towers should be identified by a skilled
Health and Safety representative and effective control measuresput in place.
No liability will attach to the Distributor if any damage, injury or accident is attributable to inattentive,
inappropriate, negligent or incorrect operation of the machinery whether or not caused deliberately.
Always disconnect all electrical and water suppliesbefore commencing any maintenance.
Every effort has been made to ensure details contained in this manual are correct, however, in view of
the wide range of conditions experienced in air handling systems, the information provided should only
be used as a guide. Please contact your Agent if any doubt.
CORRECT USE
ElectroVap CMC humidifiers are ONLY intended for use with air handling systems or direct air
humidification. ANY OTHER APPLICATION IS NOT CONSIDERED USE FOR THE INTENDED
PURPOSE. THE MANUFACTURER CANNOT BE MADE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGE RESULTING
FROM INCORRECT USE.
WATER
ElectroVap CMC humidifiers are designed to be used with tap water, demineralized,R/O or softened
water. On no account attempt to introduce any other fluid or chemical into the system. Water supply
should not exceed 6.0 bar and installation should comply with local regulations.
ELECTRICITY
All work concerned with electrical installation MUST only be performed by skilled and qualified
technical personnel (eg electrician or technicians with appropriate training). The customer MUST be
responsible for ensuring their suitability.
It is the duty of the installer to ensure that suitablysized electrical cables and circuit breaker protection
is provided. Please observe the local regulations concerning the provision of electrical installations.
WARRANTY
Failure to specify and fit original parts and accessories will invalidate your warranty.
NOTE
Our policy is one of continuous research and development. We therefore reserve the right to amend
without notice the specifications given in this document.

Unpack the CMC humdifier and check for any
damage.
Damage to packing and/or unit must be reported
by registered letter to carrier within 3 working days.
Provide free space all around the unit : 1 m. to 1.20
m. (3 to 4 ft.) from the floor to the bottom of the
humidifier, 1.25 m. (4 ft.) ahead and 0.60 m. (2 ft) on the
right hand side for allowing easy access for maintenance.
Mark the mounting holes.
Drill the holes.
Insert screws or bolts appropriate for support.
Screw the screws allowing about 10 mm (3/8 in.)
for hanging the cabinet
Hang the cabinet. Level the cabinet with a spirit
level and tighten up all the screws.
Please refer to the following pages for the water and
electrical connections.

ElectroVap CMC
Water connection
Installation
A cold water service line should be used to
supply the unit. The water supply must also satisfy
the following requirements :
• Water quality: 30 to 1000 ppm
• Water Pressure: 1-6 bar (15 to 90 psi)
• Water Temp: less than 40°C (100 Deg. F.)
The water supply connection is on the bottom of the
unit. All the CMC are delivered with a water inlet
hose (500mm long) (20 in. long) with 3/4“ fittingsfor direct
connection to humidifier &cold water supply.
Acheck valve should be located on the
cold water service connection to the unit.
The inlet valve base has a basket filter (s.a. page
n° 25). Check periodically for debris.
The Humidifier CMC can run with 3 different water
qualities :
TAP WATER
For the maintenance frequency of the cylinder see
the maintenance curve.
SOFTENED WATER
The ElectroVap CMC humidifier may be used with
softened water.
IMPORTANT : Softeners must be programmed
correctly (for Europe : 0° < TH < 2°). Failure to program
the softener correctly may lead to excessive salt
concentration in the steam cylinder. For assistance contact
the softener manufacturer.
Reverse Osmosis and
Demineralized Water
The ElectroVap CMC humidifier may be used with
Reverse Osmosis or Demineralised water. The
minimum water quality is 30 µs. On start-up with
new steam cylinder a tea spoon of bicarbonate of
soda must be added.

UTOMATIC DRAINING
For sanitation purposes, the steam cylinder is automatically
drained out in case the humidifier is not operated after a
period of 72 hours. This value is factory pre-set.

Duct applications :
To get a correct functionning of the CMC
humidifier in duct applications, the following
conditions must be fulfilled :
- duct pressure less than 100 mm (4 in.) of water
column
- in case the duct pressure is between 100 mm (4 in.)
and 250 mm (10 in.) of water column, a filling cup
plateform must be installed as per the left hand photo.

The following drawings show the water
draining connections that should be made.

with 3 hose clamps.
Minimum pitch : 10°
The devatec recommended steam hoses shoud be
used for connecting the humidifier to the drain.
network. Regular replacement is recommended.
If rigid piping is used, it must be heat (100°C - 212 deg. F.)
and pressure resistant PVC material (copper, galvanized or
stainless steel piping prohibited).
The drain hose must be free from any obstacle particularly
when it comes to connecting several drains.
The discharged water should be offset from the
underside of the unit as shown. This will prevent any
steam and/or condensation from getting into the cabinet.

Steam distribution pipes
11
Installation
The steam from the cylinder enters the duct via a steam
distribution pipe. In order to obtain an optimum
performance of the humidifier, it is recommended that
these instructions be adhered to as far as possible.
Steam distribution pipe
selection
This table shows the number and the diameter of the
pipe(s) per unit.
For the optimum steam distribution, the longest pipe
should be prefered.
For duct of width inferior to 300 mm (12in), our B110 or
our special 6” steam pipes can be used.
For the CMC 1-2-3-4, install the pipes as indicated
below :
L= length 290 – 590 – 790 – 1000 – 1250 – 1500 mm
(11.4 – 23.23 – 31.10 – 39.37 – 49.21 – 59.05 in.)
