1. About this documentation
1.1 Intended use
This system is a water treatment system for preparing drinking
water, according to current drinking water standards for
desalinated water (conductivity: from 5 to 20 µS/cm).
Desalinated water may e.g. be used for filling humidifiers or any
other system that can be operated using desalinated water.
All components and operating equipment used in the system are
directly or indirectly required to ensure the desired treatment
result.
Any use of the plant and the water produced that differs to that
described in this document is considered to be improper.
The use of components and equipment for other purposes than
their use in the system, as well as the drawing of water for
purposes other than the specified use is deemed improper. The
water produced, e.g., must not be used as drinking water.
HygroMatik GmbH accepts no liability for damages that occur as
a result of improper use. The risks associated with improper use
lie solely with the operator.
PLEASE NOTE
In order to protect against flooding caused by supply or product
water or drained water, the device location should feature a
pressureless floor grid. In case of non-existance, proper safety
precautions for leakage protection must be considered. HygroMatik may not be held responsable for any damage resulting
from disregard of this recommendation.
PLEASE NOTE

4. System description
4.1 Principle of osmosis/reverse osmosis
Osmosis
Osmosis is a natural process in which water from a solution with
low salt concentration passes through a semi-permeable membrane into a solution with a higher salt concentration.
Reverse osmosis
In reverse osmosis, the natural process of osmosis is reversed
using pressure. If pressure is exerted on the side with higher
concentration than the natural osmotic pressure, pure water
from the solution diffuses through the semi-permeable membrane.
The pure water generated by a reverse osmosis system is
referred to as "permeate", the concentrated solution as "concentrate".
Fig. 1: Principle of osmosis/reverse osmosis
Concentrate recycling
To increase the flow through the membrane, part of the concentrate is returned to the raw water inlet.
4.2 Overview of components
System separator
The system separator prevents water from the water treatment
plant from flowing back into the drinking water network or being
pressurised back or sucked back (protection up to and including
fluid category 4 according to DIN EN 1717).
A dirt trap is integrated into the system separator. Particles from
the untreated water are caught here.
