Note
This manual contains all details necessary for the planning and installation of
the JS HumEvap Mobile Plus Humidifier. In addition commissioning, operating
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
suitably skilled and qualified personnel, the customer MUST be responsible
for ensuring their suitability.
No liability will attach to JS Humidifiers plc if any damage, injury or accident is
attributable to inattentive, inappropriate, negligent or incorrect installation and
operation of the machinery whether or not caused deliberately.
Always isolate all electrical and water supplies before commencing any
maintenance.
Please contact JS Humidifiers plc if in any doubt.
Warning! This humidifier must be installed, operated and maintained in
accordance with this manual. Failure to do so could result in
contamination that might cause Legionnaires’ disease, which can be
fatal.
Your attention is drawn to the Health and Safety Executive's Approved Code
of Practice (ACoP) and their technical guidance on the prevention and control
of legionellosis in water systems. If inadequately maintained, water systems,
of which any humidifier is a part, can support the growth of micro-organisms
including the bacterium that causes Legionnaires' disease. JS Humidifiers plc
has considered all aspects of the design of their humidification systems to
reduce as far as possible the risk of Legionnaires' disease and other similar
conditions, but it is important that users are also aware of their responsibilities
under the ACoP in reducing the risk of legionellosis.
To prevent the growth of legionella, users are required to:
Carry out a risk assessment of the water system by a competent
person, and implement a monitoring and control regime.
Avoid water temperatures that favour the growth of legionella
(20-45°C);
Avoid water stagnation;
Clean and disinfect the humidification system in accordance with
the ACoP and enclosed instructions;
NEVER leave your HumEvap Mobile Plus out of operation containing water for
more than 24hrs, as it could result in contamination that might cause
Legionnaires’ disease, which can be fatal. In the event that the humidifier is
turned off for prolonged periods, ensure that the water reservoir and pipe-work
supplying the unit are drained, unless they supply other systems which ensure
a regular renewal of water in the system. If the unit is found to have been out
of operation for more than 24hrs containing water, water stagnation and
contamination may occur, and the system will require thorough cleaning.
If you intend to shut the system down for any length of time please contact JS
Humidifiers plc for advice.
The JS HumEvap Mobile Plus Humidifier is only intended for light industrial
direct air humidification and any other or further application is not considered
use for the intended purpose. The manufacturer cannot be made liable for any
damage resulting from incorrect use.
JS Humidifiers systems are designed to be used with mains or softened water.
On no account attempt to introduce any other fluid or chemical into the system
without first consulting JS Humidifiers.
Water supply installation must comply with local regulations.
The water supply to the JS HumEvap Mobile Plus should be free of microbial
contamination and should run at less than 20°C within 2 minutes of turning on
supply
