Section 2. Scope 2.1 Scope. This standard applies to factory-made Commercial and Industrial Humidifier

10、s, as defined in Section 3. 2.1.1 Energy Source. This standard applies to electric, gas, or hot water operated Commercial and Industrial Humidifiers including those that depend on steam from a central steam boiler. 2.1.2 Installation. Commercial and Industrial Humidifiers are intended for installati

11、on into an enclosed space or air system. 2.2 Exclusions.

Section

12、3. Definitions All terms in this document shall follow the standard industry definitions in the current edition of ASHRAE Terminology of Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning and Refrigeration unless otherwise defined in this section. 3.1 Commercial and Industrial Humidifier (Humidifier). A device

13、designed to add moisture to air. 3.1.1 Atomizing Humidifiers. A type of Humidifier intended for duct applications in which water is reduced to minute particles and dispersed to air as a fine mist. 3.1.1.1 Centrifugal Type Atomizer. Utilizes a high-speed disk to sling water to its rim where it is thr

14、own onto plates or a comb to produce a fine mist. 3.1.1.2 Nozzle Type Atomizers. Utilizes a nozzle, compressed-air, water, or air and water, to reduce water to a fine mist. a. Compressed Air. Compressed air is forced through an annular orifice at the nozzle tip creating a vortex at the tip. Water is

15、 forced through the center orifice of the nozzle where it is atomized on contact with the compressed air at the nozzle tip. b. Compressed Air and Water. Compressed air and water are combined inside the nozzle and discharged onto a resonator to produce a fine mist at the nozzle tip. c. Compressed Wat

16、er. High pressure pump is used to force water through the orifice of a nozzle to produce a fine mist at the nozzle tip. ANSI/AHRI STANDARD 640-2005 _ 2 3.1.1.3 Ultrasonic Atomizer. A piezoelectric transducer immersed in a reservoir of mineral free water. The transducer converts a high-frequency elec

17、tronic signal into a high-frequency mechanical oscillation. The mechanical oscillation is directed at the surface of the water, where at very high frequencies it creates a fine mist. 3.1.2 Direct Injection Steam Humidifiers. A type of Humidifier intended for duct applications in which steam, water v

18、apor under pressure and at high temperature, is dispersed directly into the air. a. Steam Cup Type. Utilizes a cup and drain mounted beneath the duct. Steam is injected into the sides of a cup allowing most of the moisture of the steam to enter into the air while permitting the condensate to fall in

19、to the cup by gravity and into the steam trap. b. Steam Separator Type. Utilizes an enclosed distribution pipe, a separating chamber, an integral control valve, and a drain to distribute steam into the air. Steam is injected directly into the enclosed distribution pipe providing reheat to the outgoi

20、ng steam passing through the distributor pipe before being released into the air. The steam then enters the separating chamber which allows dry steam to pass through the control valve and into the distributor pipe while allowing condensate to fall by gravity into the drain. The moisture of the steam

21、 is reheated while in the distributor pipe before being dispersed into the air. c. Steam Panel Type. Utilizes an integral control valve, a header with multiple distributor pipes, and a drain. The control valve regulates the amount of steam that is injected into the header, which allows dry steam to

22、pass into the distributor pipe(s) while allowing condensate to escape through the drain. The moisture of the steam in the distributor pipe(s) is dispersed into the air. 3.1.3 Heated Tank Humidifiers. A type of Humidifier which converts tank water to steam using electricity, gas, or steam. The steam

23、is dispersed into a duct system through dispersion manifolds. If the Humidifier is a free standing unit, the steam is dispersed directly into the air space through a fan unit. a. Electrode Type. Utilizes an electric current passing through the water to create heat energy to produce steam. b. Gas Hea

24、ted Type. Utilizes natural gas or propane as the heating method to convert water to atmospheric steam. c. Infrared Type. Utilizes one or more radiant heat bulbs to create heat energy to produce steam. d. Resistance Type. Utilizes one or more electrical elements to heat the water directly to produce

25、steam. e. Steam-to-Steam Type. Utilizes steam from a central boiler passing through a heat exchanger submersed in water to create heat energy to produce steam. f. Hot Water Type. Utilizes hot water from a central boiler passing through a heat exchanger submersed in water to create heat energy to pro

26、duce steam. 3.2 Humidification Capacity. The capacity associated with a Humidifiers ability to add moisture to air expressed in lb/h kg/h of continuous operation. 3.3 Published Rating. A statement of the assigned values of those performance characteristics, under stated Rating Conditions, by which a

27、 unit may be chosen to fit its application. These values apply to all units of like nominal size and type (identification) produced by the same manufacturer. The term Published Rating includes the rating of all performance characteristics shown on the unit or published in specifications, advertising

28、 or other literature controlled by the manufacturer, at stated Rating Conditions. 3.3.1 Application Rating. A rating based on tests performed at application Rating Conditions (other than Standard Rating Conditions). 3.3.2 Standard Rating. A rating based on tests performed at Standard Rating Conditio

29、ns. 3.4 Rating Conditions. Any set of operating conditions under which a single level of performance results and which causes only that level of performance to occur. 3.4.1 Standard Rating Conditions. Rating Conditions used as the basis of comparison for performance characteristics. 3.5 “Shall“ or “

30、Should“. “Shall“ or “should“ shall be interpreted as follows: 3.5.1 Shall. Where “shall“ or “shall not“ is used for a provision specified, the provision is mandatory if compliance with the standard is claimed. 3.5.2. Should. “Should“ is used to indicate provisions which are not mandatory but which a

31、re desirable as good practice. _ANSI/AHRI STANDARD 640-2005 33.6 Supplementary Heat. Heat used to enhance evaporation when used in the recirculating system or to heat water for direct evaporation.
