Maximum
differential pressure, with tube > shell
side, 5 psig; Max. temperature 80°C. The
use of metal fittings is not recommended with
FC Series Humidifiers. Nylon, ABS or polypropylene
fittings are suggested.
1
Flow rate recommendations based upon an approach
temperature between 4-6 degrees. The optimal
dry air inlet temperature range is between 35
and 55°C.
2
Water-to-gas flow rate is based upon a
80-85%RH. See actual performance curves for
specific flow rates. Note that the gas pressure
must be higher than the water pressure.
3
When ordering, specify port orientation
as same side or 180 degree rotation.
