1. HOW THE humiFog WORKS
The humiFog humidification system is a high pressure atomizing system designed to produce a fine mist that readily
evaporates to raise the relative humidity. The atomizing humidifier is an efficient humidification system that is especially
suitable for larger installations, where high flow-rates of water are required without the necessity of excessive energy
expenditure. When the humidity value in the environment is less then the desired value, as measured by a probe or external
controller, the controller starts the volumetric piston pump, which sends the “treated” water to the nozzles.
The treated water; using a reverse osmosis or deionizer system, is pumped at a pressure of 1000psi (75bar) and sent via the
connection pipes to the atomizing nozzles. The nozzles then reduce the jet of water into a multitude of very fine water
droplets (10-20 microns). Because of the fine droplet size, the water can then easily change its state and vaporize. The energy
required for this transformation is supplied by the ambient air; at a rate of 690 W per liter/hour. Consequently, there is a
decrease in temperature in the environment being humidified, and this process may be useful in many applications (adiabatic
transformation).
The humiFog unit must be supplied with treated water, for the following reasons:
To reduce the introduction into the environment of dust due to the mineral salts found in the untreated water.
To minimize the clogging of the nozzles.

2. COMPONENTS
A humiFog system is made up of the following components:
Pumping station, containing the electrical panel and the volumetric piston pump.
Microprocessor control system.
Distribution system with the atomizing nozzles; for ducts/AHUs or rooms.
Zone control panels for controlling the distribution staging in each zone or AHU.
2.1 MAIN PUMPING STATION
The main pumping station features an energy efficient combination of an advanced Inverter Duty Motor and a Variable Frequency
Drive. This combination allows for the precise control of the volume of outlet water from the positive displacement pump. The
positive displacement pump is a reliable component that is designed for long life and minimal maintenance. By adjusting the
speed of the pump, the pressure and the flow rate of the nozzles are precisely modulated according to the requirements of the
application. The station also incorporates a user friendly display, allowing the user to visually change set points, and other usermodified fields.
The main pumping station controls the water output using “Constant Pressure” principles. This type of control allows a single
pumping station to supply humidification to multiple ducts/AHUs or rooms. In this setup, the humiFog controller manages the
speed of the pump according to the “Constant Pressure” set point, increasing the speed if the pressure decreases (opening more
zones/branches of the circuit) and decreasing the speed if the pressure increases (closing one or more branches of the circuit).
With this configuration, the humiFog controller can manage the humidity control and distribution directly (one zone/AHU); or the
distribution control is managed by an additional external zone controller (multiple zones/AHUs).
2.2 MICROPROCESSOR CONTROL SYSTEM
The humiFog control system is based on the latest, state of the art, CAREL pCO
programmable controller. This controller operates a Variable Frequency Drive to
modulate water pressure and water flow according to requirements. Control can be
stand-alone using humidity and temperature sensors, or the system can be controlled by
a DDC signal. Modbus, BACnet, Echelon and TCP/IP protocol interface is available. A LAN
(Local Area Network) connection allows up to 32 systems to be connected to share sensor
information, or even operate redundantly.

2.3 ATOMIZING NOZZLES
The humiFog atomizing nozzles are constructed of stainless steel and are available in three capacities: 3.3, 6.2
& 8.8 lbs/hr (1.5, 2.8 & 4.0 kg/hr). Working on the centrifugal/whirljet principle, they have no targets to drip or
require adjustment. An internal 60 micron filter is used to prevent jamming of the nozzle, and a special
internal valve closes the orifice to avoid dripping and prevent any ambient contamination when the nozzle is
off. The nozzles are mounted uniformly in the distribution manifolds.
2.4 DISTRIBUTION
The following diagrams illustrate the typical applications in ducts (Fig. 2.c) or directly in the rooms (Fig. 2.d).
The ambient humidity is measured by a probe (1), or receives a command signal from an external controller, and is read by the
controller contained in the humiFog pumping station (6). The controller then compares the humidity measured in the room
against the humidity set point, starting, when necessary, the production of the pump. The demineralized water produced by the
water treatment system (7) is brought to high pressure by the humiFog pump (6), sent to the manifolds for distribution into the
duct or directly into the room (5), and then atomized by the nozzles (4). The percentage of water fog evaporated depends on the
temperature and speed of the air, as well as on the relative humidity reached. In duct applications, any non-evaporated droplets
are separated by a mist eliminator filter or cooling coil (2), collected in the bottom tank (3) and immediately discharged. The
control system built into the pumping station controls the banks of nozzles supplied with solenoid “zone” valves.

Ambient
Fig. 2.c Fig. 2.d
2.5 ZONE CONTROL PANELS
The humiFog Zone Control Panels utilize the latest state-of-the-art CAREL pCO programmable controller. This controller
operates the distribution system, by interfacing with the selected control system, and then controlling the water solenoid valves
for appropriate modulation. Control can be stand-alone using humidity and temperature sensors, or the system can be controlled
by a DDC signal. Modbus, BACnet, Echelon and TCP/IP protocol interface is available. A LAN (Local Area Network) connection
allows up to 32 Controller devices to be connected to share sensor information, or even operate redundantly. The zone control
cabinets are also used to control each zone, in a multi-point humiFog system. In this type of system, all of the zone control panels
communicate to each other, and to the pumping station panel, by a pLAN network.
Multi zone setup configuration may involve multiple zones within the same air handler. There are two primary methods
of how to distribute water through a multi zone setup, parallel or staged control. With parallel control, each zone connected to
the pumping station will be activated simultaneously and operate at the same output level. Staged control will run one zone to its
maximum capacity before activating the next zone. This choice will affect the zone demand display of the zone control cabinets,
as described in the section 7.1 of this manual.

4. ZONE CONTROL CABINET POSITIONING AND MOUNTING
4.1 ZONE CONTROL POSITIONING AND MOUNTING NOTES
The humiFog zone control cabinets are designed to be wall mounted. There are appropriate holes in the back of the
cabinet, for mounting to the wall. Use appropriate fasteners for supporting the weight of the cabinet and its components. Maintain
clearances around the cabinet as noted below. This allows for proper ventilation, maintenance and user operation of the cabinet.
The cabinet should be placed locally centered to the pumping station, and distribution zone points. For ducted systems, the zone
control cabinet should be close to the duct/AHU. For ambient systems, the zone control cabinet should be mounted centrally to
the zone areas.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The maximum distance between the zone control cabinet and the rack/distribution is 50ft
(15meters). It is recommended that the unit be fixed in position so that the electrical connections do not become damaged.
All connecting wiring is done by installer. Certain clearances must be maintained around the unit for safety and
maintenance.
The cabinet can be placed wherever the following conditions are met:
Cabinet protection index: IP20 / Nema Type 1 (unless specified otherwise)
Operating conditions: 20-80% RH non condensing, 34-104ºF (1-40ºC)

6. START-UP
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS/WARNINGS:
Before connecting the water to the pumping station, flush the supply pipe for 10 minutes by piping water directly into the
drain.
Before starting the pumping station, verify that the humidifier is in full operational condition. The hydraulic and electrical
equipment should not be locked out. There should not be any water leaks and the electrical components must be dry.
If a hazard does seem to exist, the system should be locked out immediately and the problems corrected before continuing.
6.1 STARTUP CHECKLIST
Before starting the humidifier, the following should be checked:
Water is connected, the line has been flushed, and external valves are open.
Drain is connected and run to an open drain.
Electricity is connected in accordance with instructions, local codes and data labels in the unit.
The external power fuses/disconnect are installed and intact.
All control wiring is done and tested.
Airflow switch is wired to open on air flow loss.
Hi-limit humidistat is wired to open on humidity rise above set point.
Unit wires have been checked to make sure they and all connectors are tight from shipping.
The high pressure water outlet piping is run correctly to the distribution system.
The proper capacities for each stage of the manifold system are installed in the zone control cabinet.
For a multi-zone system, the addresses of the zone controls cabinets are changed.
For a duplex system, the addresses of the pumping stations are changed.
6.2 RE-ADDRESSING THE CONTROLLERS AND DISPLAYS FOR MULTI-ZONE OR DUPLEX
SYSTEMS
The default addresses for a zone control cabinet are “1” for the PCO3 controller and “30” for the PGD display. The default
addresses for the pumping station cabinet are “16” for the PCO3 controller and “32” for the PGD display. For multi-zone or
duplex systems, the additional cabinets on the pLAN must have their addresses changed before they can operate correctly.
When changing addresses, the pLAN connections between each of the PCO3 controllers must be removed. The connections
are restored once the readdressing is completed.
For multi-zone system,
o the PCO3 controllers in the additional cabinets can be assigned addresses sequentially upward.
o the PGD displays in the additional cabinets can be assigned addresses sequentially downward.
For a duplex system,
o the PCO3 controller in the additional pumping station cabinet must be changed to “17.”
o the PGD display in the additional pumping station cabinet must be changed to “31.”

7.1 MULTI-ZONE IN SINGLE AHU SETUP OVERVIEW
Depending on the system setup variables, there can be significant differences in the user interface options. Some
options may have more selections to choose from, and some menu selections may be absent altogether.
7.2 SYSTEM STATUS
On initial power-up, the controller will go through a series of self-tests and then activate the program, bringing up
the following screens. The visibility of some screens is dependent on the configuration of the system.
1. Power-up Unit
During power-up, the controller performs an alarm test. The alarm key will be red, and must be pushed twice to clear the
alarms. To check the “Alarm History”, use DOWN key from System Status Screen. The 1st alarm is a “System Start Alarm”, and
the 2nd alarm is a “No Air Flow Alarm”. Note: The “No Air Flow Alarm” occurs whether the AF digital input is open (low
voltage) or closed (high voltage) at power-up. Actions that can be performed from the System Status Screen:
System Status Screen
Up
Enter
Down
IMPORTANT NOTE: The System Status Screen can vary depending on the setup options in section 7.4 ,
MANUFACTURER SUBMENU. See section 5.11 for a review of multiple zone setup options. If the setup involves multiple zones
in the same air handler, choosing parallel or staged setup will change the System Status Screen as follows:
Parallel Zone Control: Each zone cabinet will display the same demand percentage because each cabinet is operating
simultaneously at the same level of output. The output level displayed is that of the entire zone & pumping system.
Staged (Cascaded) Zone Control: Zone control cabinets operate in a linear sequence, with zone activation occurring
only after the previous one has reached 100%. Due to the variation in demand among cabinets, the master cabinet (address
1) will display the demand value of entire system capacity. The remaining cabinet(s) will only display its own output relative
to its capacity. For example, the zone at address 1 may read 50%, indicating that the system capacity is 50% while the zone
demand at address 1 is actually 100%. For the subsequent zones, however, the demand displayed is the actual output of that
zone.
System Status Screen
No changes can be made at this
screen. It provides a summary of the
current zone and pump operation, as
well as system demand.
Use the ENTER key and UP/DOWN
key to change humidity SET POINT.
FUNCTIONING can be set to AUTO or
OFF. Use the ENTER key to activate
new value.
Use the UP/DOWN key to view alarms.
ESC key will take you back to previous
