5.2 Physical principles of piezo ceramics
If certain crystals are deformed by mechanical stress, electrical charges will build up proportionally on their surface, producing electric field strength in the crystal.
This effect was discovered by Pierre and Jacques Curie
in 1880. Even the reversal of this so-called piezoelectric
effect or piezo-effect is possible. The same materials
change their dimensions under the influence of an
electric field.
Ceramic piezoelectric materials are hard, chemically inactive and completely insensitive to humidity
or other atmospheric influences.

5.3 Functional description - ultrasonic air humidifier
All frequencies above 20,000 Hz are called ultrasonic.
According to their physical nature, acoustic waves consist of mechanical oscillations of compressible
media. These oscillations develop due to the deflection of the particles of a compressible material from
their equilibrium position. Acoustic waves are bound to a medium and thus do not occur in the vacuum.
Oscillations develop as a result of a change in pressure. Repeated pressure increase and pressure
reduction produce different acoustic waves.
In order to be able to use ultrasonic waves for air humidification, electrical energy must be converted
into mechanical energy. This takes place in the piezoelectric transducer.
A vibration unit consists of the resonance circuit where the high frequency of
~ 1.7 MHz is produced and the piezoelectric transducer to convert the electrical frequency into a proportional mechanical oscillation. This frequency is not audible for human beings or animals.
The piezoceramic transducers are attached
to the bottom of the fluid tank. During
excitation of the transducer, the water leads
the ultrasonic vibrations to the boundary
layer between water and air. Constant
compression and decompression of the
water gauge over the transducer causes
cavitation in the immediate proximity of the
water surface. Thus, crossing capillary
waves are developed, the finest water
particles of which, the aerosols, are
produced in the wave crest.
fig. 2 - Schematic sketch aerosol production
The aerosols are delivered by the air flow in the humidifier and quickly mix with the ambient air. They
have a small diameter (0.001 - 0.005 mm) and thus form a freely floating mist. The droplet diameter
depends on the surface tension and the density of the medium, but also on the excitation frequency.
The higher the excitation frequency, the smaller is the diameter of the droplets.

1. maximum energy saving Compared to steam and infrared humidifiers with the
same humidification output, ultrasonic air humidifiers
need up to 93 % less electricity.
2. lowest connected loadCompared to electrode steam humidifiers with the same
humidification output, only approx. 7 % of the power input
is required. Thus, lower third-party connection costs are
possible.
3. energy-saving cooling effectDuring humidification with the ultrasonic air humidifiers,
the room air is cooled at the same time due to the adiabatic humidification principle. The result is a lower heat
load reducing the cooling output requirements.
4. lowest water consumptionAtomiser humidifiers lose up to 70 % of the water, steam
humidifiers up to 30 %. AIRWIN® ultrasonic air humidifiers
do not have any water loss apart from the cyclical emptying process of the fluid tank on AquaDrain.
5. immediate max. humidificationSimultaneously with the request impulse, humidification
is carried out without any delay.
Exception: during automatic drainage and line flushing.
6. max. evaporation of the water Ultrasonic air humidifiers produce a very fine aerosol
mist. On average, the diameter of the aerosols is only
0.001 - 0.005 mm. Thus, the mist spreads quickly and is
taken up by the air after a very short time

Protect humidifier interiors necessarily from pollution! The protective foil should only be
removed immediately prior to commissioning when the air ducts have been cleaned!
To achieve the nominal humidification, it is important that the air velocity is in the range
specified. Furthermore, it is very important that the humidifier is installed in an even
laminar air flow. Maybe a perforated plate or a flow straightener is necessary.
9. Installation
Proper installation in accordance with the following instructions will ensure trouble-free operation of the
NKBD.
The location of the NKBD installation is predetermined by the requirements of the ventilation system and
should be defined before installation work is commenced.
9.1 Installation conditions – General notes
Installing an insulated tubular lamp in the duct and a window will significantly facilitate visual func-
tion checks on the humidifier.
The place of installation must allow the humidifier to be easily removed and replaced.
The NKBD must be installed in absolutely horizontal position to ensure that ALL the ultrasonic
transducers are covered by the same level of water
The automatic drainage of the fluid tank and the automatic flushing of the pure water line require
a free discharge on site according to DIN 1988 part 4, EN 1717
In the immediate vicinity of the duct humidifier, the ventilation unit should be of waterproof design
(stainless steel or with corrosion-proof coating) and should be provided with a water discharge
outlet.
The air velocity in the free duct cross section (net area after installation of the humidifiers)
V = 1.0 - 4.0 m/s. In the case of higher air velocities, perforated metal plates should be installed in
the vicinity of the humidifiers.
The distance from the bottom edge of the NKBD to the ceiling of the air duct must be min. 390
mm (fig. 5 and 7).
The distance between the NKBD and the duct/trough base must be min. 100 mm (fig. 5 and 7).
The distance between the NKBD control housing and the duct side wall must be min. 70 mm
(fig. 6 und 8).
The distance between the NKBD and the duct side wall must be min. 200 mm (fig. 6 and 8).
The distance necessary from fixtures in direction of flow differs widely (aerosol disintegration dis-
tance). It is dependent on air velocity, air temperature, actual and set point humidity and must be
determined at the planning stage.

Humidifiers are mounted above one another; offset horizontally (fig. 7 and 8).
Mounting example on tubular frame (on site) with NKBD mounting brackets (Item No.
2000105).
Stepped configuration is necessary
if the permissible air velocity would be exceeded on standard configuration or
if more humidification is necessary than would be possible with the standard con-
figuration. The minimum vertical distances are smaller than with the standard configuration, which permits installation of more units and thus increased humidification.
Requirements:
With stepped configuration, the vertical distance between several humidifiers must
be ≥ 70 mm
The minimum horizontal distance between several humidifiers must be ≥ 80 mm.
Several humidifiers should be evenly distributed over the entire duct width, observ-
ing the minimum distance of 200/100 mm from the duct walls.

9.4 Adjustment of the NKBD to the direction of airflow
The NKBD can be adjusted to the flow direction of the duct air. Therefore the duct support must
be rotated by 180° if necessary. This allows the humidifier to be situated in a favourable position
for the water and electrical connection.

The input of the safety chain must always be supplied with a voltage of
48 V. Cable bridges are always mounted ex-factory between connections
1-2 safety chain and 9-10 48 V.
The humidifier does NOT work otherwise.
When connecting several humidifiers, the safety chain must be connected
in parallel to each humidifier.
CAUTION: the 48 V supply must only be taken once.
11.2 Humidifier
The humidifier is connected at the 48 V (L, N, PE) bushing terminals for electrical power and at the

AquaDrain is a system designed to flush the pure water inlet pipe to the humidifier according to various parameters and to cyclically empty the fluid tank of the NKBD. To do so, AquaDrain uses a
certain software and a solenoid valve combination integrated in the housing of the humidifier. In
addition, AquaDrain prevents that the fluid tank is refilled with water, which had been reduced by
evaporation, during the humidification-free periods of the AquaDrain cycle.
The AquaDrain cycle is the cycle in which the humidifier, minus the time for flushing the water inlet pipe and draining of the fluid tank, can humidify continuously, but does not necessarily have to
do so. The AquaDrain cycle is 12 hours and the cycle was preset in the factory. Optionally this
setting may be changed by the manufacturer to 48 h, 24 h, 6 h, 3 h, 1.5 h and 0.75 h

1. Initial start-up (operating voltage is present for the first time)
2. Operating voltage is applied again (after each interruption of operation voltage)
3. After each humidifying pause which is longer than the AquaDrain cycle
The first phase includes the actual flushing process. The solenoid inlet and drainage
valves are opened at the same time for 160 seconds. The water supply pipes and/or tubes
are rinsed. This ensures that the FIRST water present in the supply line (possibly hygienically questionable) is not atomised as it is drained directly without filling up the fluid tank.
The flushing volume depends on the pressure of the pure water (fig. 24).
In the second phase the solenoid inlet valve is closed again. The solenoid drainage valve
remains open for another 160 s to ensure that the water that might still be inside the fluid
tank is drained.
If a humidification request is made after the two-phase rinse operation, the humidifier will
go into normal operation. At the same time, the solenoid inlet valve opens and the solenoid
drainage valve closes. The fluid tank is filled up to maximum level. After that, provided that
all internal and external safety elements allow for operation, humidification starts.
* The filling time for the fluid tank of the NKBD is determined by the pressure of the
pure water.
If no humidification request follows after the two-phase rinse operation, the humidifier will
go into standby mode until a humidification request is carried out.

12.2.2 Drainage of fluid tank
The NKBD is drained in cycles every 12 hours, if humidification took place in the last
AquaDrain cycle and in case of any power interruption in the AquaDrain cycle (operating voltage is no longer present).
If the system is drained, the fluid tank will only be refilled with pure water after a humidification request was made.
* The filling time for the fluid tank of the NKBD is determined by the pressure of
the pure water and the NKBD-Type.
The fluid tank will stay dry, if there is no humidification request.

The physical distance and the length of cable between the transformer and the humidifier
should therefore be kept to a minimum!
The dimensions of the transformer is determined not only by the electrical power
consumption of the humidifier NKBD but also on the power consumption of the cable feed
(ohmic resistance)!
13. Dimensioning of cable cross section
The ohmic resistance between transformer and humidifier through the power cable produces a loss in
voltage and consequently a drop in humidifier output.
The voltage drop caused by ohmic resistance may be reduced by using a cable of large cross section and
compensated for by the 53 V secondary connection at the transformer. The graphs fig. 29 - 35 show the
ohmic loss for each humidifier depending on the cable length.
Using the 53 V transformer secondary voltage results in an overvoltage of 5 V (~ 10 % of 48 V) which may
be consumed by the ohmic resistance of the cable. The correct cross-section of the cable will always be that
which comes closest to the 5V mark for the voltage loss.
On account of the negligible power consumption of the humidifiers, the open-circuit voltage on the other
hand is almost equal to the voltage at the transformer. To prevent damage to the humidifier electronics, the
open-circuit may not exceed 54 V.
Installation costs will be kept to a minimum if the graphs are correctly used.
The conductor resistance of fine-stranded: 1.5 mm² = 13.30 Ω/km
(extract from VDE 0295 and IEC 60228 for bare wires, class 5)
Conductor resistances refer to single-stranded conductors. They must therefore be multiplied by 2 for
two-stranded conductors (N+L1).
In addition, the load capability of insulated leads (current density) should be taken into account. VDE 0100

Before commissioning the NKBD, check once again that all installation and wiring work has been carried out
correctly and fully completed. In particular, the water and power supply connections must be in proper order
and comply with the relevant safety regulations.

The feature "Flushing of water supply line" does not replace flushing of the
newly established water inlet pipe. Flushing only changes the pure water
(which may be hygienically questionable) in the supply line.
The fluid tank may only be filled if a humidification request has been made.
Otherwise the fluid tank of the NKBD will remain dry.
b) Automatic functions:
Flushing of water supply line:
The solenoid inlet valve of the humidifier opens. The solenoid drainage valve is open. The water
supply line is flushed without the fluid tank of the NKBD being filled.
The solenoid inlet valve closes. The solenoid drainage valve stays open for 160 seconds.
Filling the fluid tank:
The solenoid drainage valve closes. The solenoid inlet valve opens. The fluid tank of the NBKD
is filled. The water level is automatically controlled within narrow tolerances. Internal safety
monitoring of the water temperature and dry running protection is done automatically.
Humidification:
Once the maximum water level is reached and the humidification request is still present, humidification will start.
The green control lamp lights up as soon as the NKBD is ready for humidification or is humidifying already.
c) Make applied settings:
Adjust SET humidity at continuous controller or hygrostat.
Commissioning of the NKBD is completed.

If the water level falls below minimum in the fluid tank, the NKBD
switches humidification off automatically.
The NKBD switches off humidification at water temperatures > 60 °C.
If the NKBD fluid tank is overfilled, the excess water is drained off to
the outside through the overflow.
To suppress voltage peaks a transient suppressor diode works
from the tips.
In case of electrical interruptions between oscillator board and
US-transducer no defects occur.

* Humidifying capacity is dependent on the quantitative air flow rate through the humidifier (air ve-
locity in the duct), on the uniformity of flow over the entire fluid tank length, on the level of supply voltage under load (nominal 48 V), on the water temperature and on the cleanliness of the

fluid tank and the ultrasonic transducers (regular care).
**The power output of the transformers stated is optimised for the NKBD types. Their power re-
serves are sufficient to bear the power consumption of a correctly laid supply cable with short
distance between humidifier and transformer. Nevertheless, it is advisable to check transformer
selection mathematically according to local conditions.

Good accessibility and exchangeability of the NKBD save costs!
Deposits are a direct consequence of inadequate water quality!
19. Protection against overvoltage peaks
To secure the electronic devices of the NKBD against transient overvoltage
peaks, a suppressor diode was soldered onto the bottom of the control board.
Suppressor diodes are components to protect inputs and outputs of electronic circuits against short-term
overvoltage peaks that may occur due to switching operations in the network or close to lightning.
In case of long-term overvoltage peaks or major performance-based overvoltage peaks, the diode will switch
to permanent short circuit which will then trigger the FI switch in the system.
For a restart of the humidifier, the diode must be replaced (no. 46 exploded diagram on page 36).
20. Care
It is essential that the NKBD is easy to inspect and easily accessible on site.
Prior to opening the NKBD, it must be disconnected from the electricity and water supply.
Then remove the body duct support. In case of pollution, the fluid tank of the NKBD must be cleaned by
using a clean, medium hard brush and clean water. The transducers must be wiped clean with a soft,
scratch-free cloth. Incrustations or solid deposits on the transducers must be carefully removed. For that
purpose, it is recommended to use 20 % formic acid.
The care intervals depend on the respective degree of contamination of the humidifier. It depends directly on
the cleanliness of the intake air and the feed water quality. It may be necessary to perform care at shorter intervals.
The performance of the ultrasonic transducers decreases with actual operating hours. The life time of the
ultrasonic transducers will be shortened by unfavourable operating conditions e.g. water and air pollution or
overvoltage.

Initially, a check has to be carried out after 1 week.
Depending on the degree of contamination of the fluid tank and the
transducers the cleaning intervals must be adjusted.
If pollution is found during the check, cleaning must be performed.
