GTSGTSGTSGTSGTS®®®®® AND GTS-DI HUMIDIFIERS AND GTS-DI HUMIDIFIERS AND GTS-DI HUMIDIFIERS AND GTS-DI HUMIDIFIERS AND GTS-DI HUMIDIFIERS

GTS Gas-to-SteamHumidifierThe GTS is a gas-fired humidifier thatburns natural gas to generate steamfor humidification. The unit consistsof one or two burners, which are firedinto a heat exchanger. This heatexchanger is, in turn, submerged in atank of water. When there is a call forhumidity, the burners fire and gener-ate steam until the call for humidityends. The GTS is compatible with alltypes of DRI-STEEM dispersiondevices, including RAPID-SORB®

and ULTRA-SORB®.

The GTS humidifier is designed to beused with all water types. Thestandard GTS model supportssoftened or unsoftened water anduses a probe-type level controlsystem to sense water level. Thisprobe requires water conductivity of100 μm/cm (about 2 gr/gal minimum)to function. Therefore, it will notoperate on water treated by reverseosmosis or deionization.

The GTS-DI model is available foruse with deionized or reverse osmo-sis water. This unit produces chemi-cal-free steam and reliable, accuratehumidification control. It is virtuallymaintenance-free, with no wastedwater, heat, or downtime. The DI unituses a float valve to control waterlevels. The standard GTS model canbe converted to a GTS-DI model inthe field.

INSTINSTINSTINSTINSTALLAALLAALLAALLAALLATIONTIONTIONTIONTION

Locating the Humidifier• Provide a level, solid foundation for the humidifier.Locate the humidifier as near as possible to chimney oroutside wall so that the flue pipe from the humidifier isshort and direct. The location should also be such thatthe gas ignition system components are protected fromwater during humidifier operation and service.

• The humidifier should be installed in a location awayfrom drafts and properly protected. If installed in aseparate room, follow the instructions concerningcombustion and ventilation air.

• The humidifier should be located in an area whereleakage from the tank or its connections will not resultin damage to the adjacent structure or to lower floors ofthe structure. When such locations cannot be avoided,it is recommended that a suitable drain pan, adequatelydrained, be installed under the humidifier. The pan mustnot restrict combustion air flow.

• The humidifier must not be installed on carpeting,tile, or other combustible material other than woodflooring (indoor application only).

• Install humidifier so electrical components areprotected from water.

• The appliance must be kept free and clear of insulat-ing materials when located in an insulated space.Insulating material may be combustible. Inspection ofthe appliance area must be performed when the appli-ance is installed, or when insulation is added.

• Locate the humidifier in an area where operatingnoise will not be objectionable.

• The VAPOR-LOGIC®3 keypad should be mounted in

an easily accessible location for the operator between0.4 m and 2.0 m above the floor.

Important:• Remove all shipping brackets and materials beforeoperating the humidifier.

• Humidifier flue gases must be vented to the outsideatmosphere.

• Power supply disconnect switch must be in the offposition while making connections to prevent electricalshock and equipment damage. All units must be wiredin strict accordance with wiring diagram furnished withthis unit.

• Turn off all gas while installing the run-out andmanual shut-off valve for the humidifier.

Supply Water and Drain OverflowConnectionsIMPORTANT: The humidifier is shipped with theautomatic drain valve locked in the manual openposition. This position reduces the possibility ofdamaging the valve seat from the heat of sweating thedrain connection during installation. After the drainconnection has been completed, the “manual open”lever position must be reset to the auto position. Failureto close the drain valve will not allow the tank to fill.

Regardless of the type of water used, the followinggeneral instructions must be followed:

• Union connections must be made at the humidifier onthe cold water supply and drain/overflow lines.

• A shut-off valve should be provided in the supplywater line to isolate the humidifier from the watersystem while servicing.

• If the water pressure is above 420 kPa (60 psig) and/or water hammer would be objectionable, a pressurereducing valve or shock arrester should be installed.

• A 25 mm opening is provided in the humidifier tank toaccommodate skim and/or overflow protection. (Note:Follow local code requirements regarding size of drainpipe.)

• Insulating unions or bushings must be used to makeconnections between copper and other dissimilar metalfittings, such as galvanized steel. These insulatingfittings are required to minimize electrolytic corrosion,which results from the direct connection of dissimilarmetals in a water system.

• Before beginning ignition sequence of the humidifierat a new installation, be sure the humidifier tank is fullof water and the water is free to flow into the tank.

Gas Piping Guidelines

CAUTION:Gas pressure to humidifier controls must neverexceed 5.98 kPa. A DN3 (1/8") plugged tapping,accessible for test gauge connection, must beinstalled immediately upstream of the gas supplyconnection to the appliance.

• After threading and reaming the ends, inspect pipingand remove loose dirt and chips.

• Support piping so that no strains are imposed on unitor controls.

• Use two wrenches when connecting piping to unitcontrols.

• Provide a drip pocket before each unit and in the linewhere low spots cannot be avoided.

• Takeoff to unit should come from top or side of mainto avoid trapping condensate.

• Piping subject to wide temperature variations shouldbe insulated.

• Pitch piping up toward unit at least 7 mm per 5 m ofhorizontal run.

• Compounds used on threaded joints of gas pipingmust be resistant to the harmful action of liquefiedpetroleum gases.

• Purge air before lighting unit by disconnecting pipingat gas control. In no case should line be purged intoheatexchanger.

• After installation, check field piping and humidifier gastrain for gas leaks.

• Do not use soap solution, or open flame on humidifiergas train. A gas leak detector is recommended.

• Install a ground joint union and a manual shut-offvalve immediately upstream of the unit including a DN3(1/8") plugged tapping accessible for test gauge connec-tion. Pressure tappings for test gauges are located onall gas valves.

• Allow at least 1.5 m of piping between any highpressure regulator and unit pipe connection.

• Piping installation must be in accordance with localcodes. Do not use flexible connectors.

• Piping to units should conform with local and nationalrequirements for type and volume and gas handled, andpressure drop allowed in the line. Refer to table 13-1,

and 13-2 to determine the volumetric flow rate for thetype of gas and size of unit to be installed. Using thisvalue and the length of pipe necessary, determine thepipe diameter. Where several units are served by thesame main, the total capacity, gas flow (cfh), and lengthof main must be considered. Avoid pipe sizes smallerthan DN13 (1/2"). Table 13-1 allows for the usualnumber of fittings at the stated pressure drop.

Table 13-2 should be used when the specific gravity ofthe gas is other than .60 for natural gas.

Gas Leak Testing• When leak testing the gas supply piping system, thehumidifier and its gas shut-off valve must be discon-nected during any pressure in excess of 5.98 kPa. Thehumidifier must be isolated from the gas supply pipingsystem by closing its field-installed manual shut-offvalve during any pressure not equal to 5.98 kPa.

• Check gas supply pressure with all burners running atinlet pressure tap of combination gas control. Therecommended supply pressure should be 1750 Pa onnatural gas. The minimum supply pressure is 1495 Pafor natural gas.

Combustion and Ventilation Air

The GTS supports both room air and sealed combus-tion. Requirements and recommendations for eachfollow.

Room Air Combustion

CAUTION:Air for combustion must not be contaminated byhalogen compounds, which include fluoride, chlo-ride, bromide and iodide. These elements are foundin aerosol sprays, detergents, bleaches, cleaningsolvents, salts, air fresheners, and other householdproducts.

CAUTION:The operation of exhaust fans, kitchen ventilationfans, clothes dryers, or fireplaces could create anegative pressure condition at the humidifier.Makeup air must be provided for the ventilationdevices, in addition to that required by the humidi-fier. Units that may be operated in toxic environ-ments should be equipped with sealed combustionpiping.

• All fuel burning equipment must be supplied with airfor combustion of the fuel. Sufficient air must beprovided to ensure there will not be a negative pressurein the equipment room or space.

• Provisions for adequate combustion and ventilation airmust be provided.

• For proper and safe operation this appliance needs airfor combustion and ventilation. Do not block orobstruct air openings on the appliance, spaces aroundthe appliance, or air openings communicating with theappliance area.

• Do not block the flow of combustion and ventilationair. To provide for necessary oxygen for proper combus-tion, openings must be provided to allow outside air toenter the space in which the heater is located. Enclosedspaces, such as equipment rooms, must be vented atthe blower for combustion air. The size of air openingsmust be based on all gas-burning equipment installed inthe space involved. Four types of locations, and therequirements of each, are outlined in table 14-1.

Sealed CombustionThe GTS will support sealed combustion utilizingDN80(3") PVC or CPVC piping. When the GTS isordered in a sealed combustion configuration,DRI-STEEM will provide a field connection point withinthe GTS shroud. On the GTS-100 and GTS-200, therewill be a single point connection to the blower. On theGTS-300 and GTS-400, there will be a single pointconnection to a manifold.

Confined Space - All airfrom inside the building;conventional frame.Brick or stoneconstruction with normalinfiltration. (Can only berarely used with largerinput units.)

Two openings, 6.5cm2 peropening per 300W input.*

The minimum free area ofopening is 650 cm2.

Confined Space - All airfrom outside the buildingthrough air ducts.

Two openings, 2 ducts,6.5cm2 per opening per600W input.*

Confined Space - All airfrom outside thebuilding, through wallopenings only (noducts.)

For proper operation of the electrode-probe, water-levelcontrol and the skimmer system, the humidifier must bemounted level left to right and front to rear.

Proper access, 450 mm minimum, for periodic removalof the top cover is recommended. In most cases, scalethat forms on the heat exchanger continuously flakes offas it forms and settles to the bottom.

Indoor Cover Mounting OptionIndoor Cover Mounting OptionIndoor Cover Mounting OptionIndoor Cover Mounting OptionIndoor Cover Mounting OptionThe GTS indoor cover shall be shipped with the GTSunit factory mounted in it. The unit shall only be movedinto place by lifting the unit from under its base frame.The indoor cover can be mounted as is, or it can bemounted on an optional adjustable leg assembly (seeadjustable leg assembly). All of the necessary plumbingand electrical wires are to be run under the cover andinto the appropriate access locations. There are twoclearly marked removable access doors. One of them,on the front of the unit, is to gain access to the water fillconnection, drain connection, gas connection, and theflue box outlet. The other door, on the side of the unit, isto gain access to the electrical sub panel, cleanoutplate, and the steam outlet connection.

The top of the indoor cover consists of two pieces,which are removable. These two pieces may be re-moved to gain further access to the flue box connection,steam outlet connection, and the inspection cover. Thetwo pieces are removed by backing off the sheet metalscrews which secure it to the sides of the cover. Toreduce the risk of damage to the cover, reattach the twopieces whenever the unit is in operation or when the unitis being moved.

Outdoor Enclosure Mounting OptionOutdoor Enclosure Mounting OptionOutdoor Enclosure Mounting OptionOutdoor Enclosure Mounting OptionOutdoor Enclosure Mounting OptionThe outdoor enclosure option is used when the GTS®

will be located outside of the space it will be humidify-ing. The following information is not intended to supplantany requirements of federal, state, or local codes havingjurisdiction. Prior to locating the unit, authorities havingjurisdiction should be consulted.

• The GTS outdoor enclosure must be level and locatedso that there is enough clearance for opening theaccess doors.

• Verify that the position of support legs, pad, or curbproperly support the unit and that support structuredimensions coincide with unit dimensions.

• Locate unit so that air intakes are not too close to anyexhaust fan outlets, gasoline storage, or other contami-nants that could potentially cause dangerous situations.The use and storage of gasoline or other flammablevapors and liquids in open containers in the vicinity ofthis appliance is hazardous.

• When located on the roof, the air intakes must be aminimum of 355 mm off the roof to prevent intake ofsnow or splashed rain. The unit should be located sothat the prevailing winds do not blow into the air intakes.

Installation

• Be sure to remove all shipping brackets and otherpackaging prior to installing the unit.

• During the transit, unloading, and setting of the unit,bolts and nuts may have become loosened. Check thatall nuts are tightened as required.

• There are four knockouts located on the right and leftside of the enclosure. It is recommended that theelectrical power and gas piping are run into the enclo-sure here.

• When unit is to be mounted on an outdoor curb, theremust be a gasket between the top of the curb and thebase surface of the unit to prevent moisture from leakinginto the building from either driving rains or meltingsnow.

• The GTS outdoor enclosure is designed for handlingby two methods. In both cases it is lifted from thebottom base in a fashion that holds it level, and keeps itfrom tipping, falling, or twisting. If the unit is severelytwisted during handling, permanent damage may occur.

MOUNTING MOUNTING MOUNTING MOUNTING MOUNTING THE HUMIDIFIERTHE HUMIDIFIERTHE HUMIDIFIERTHE HUMIDIFIERTHE HUMIDIFIER

It is the installer’s responsibility to verify the handlingequipment’s ability is adequate to safely handle the unit.• The preferred method of lifting is by forklift. This isonly possible if forks extend across the entire unit.Forks that do not extend across the entire unit couldcause tipping resulting in unsafe conditions or damageto the unit.

• The alternative method of handling is through theunit’s channel base frame and/or special lifting lughooks installed on the unit. All lifting operations mustbe accomplished with a load spreader of sufficient widthto ensure that the lifting cables clear the side of the unit.If this type of spreader is not available, wood stripsshould be inserted between the cables and unit wherenecessary. All lifting points must be used and will bemarked “lift here” on the unit.

• Inside the burner section of the enclosure is a pipechase. It is recommended that the supply water anddrain piping be run down through the pipe chase and intothe building.

• When pad mounted or when the pipe chase cannot beused, the supply water and drain piping can be runthrough the knockouts, although preferably on theopposite side from the gas and electric.

• Sealed combustion air is piped directly from theoutside of the enclosure to the burner, so no conditionedair will be removed from the space below. This isfactory piped and no assembly is required. Checktightness of pipe clamps.

• Refer to the main installation section of this manualfor directions on installation of electrical, gas, flue, andwater connections. A separate electrical service con-nection for the outdoor GTS is recommended

• When ordered with the optional heater package, twothermostat-controlled heaters are provided: one stripheater is located in the control cabinet section, and onestrip heater is located in the burner section to keep theenclosure at a constant minimum temperature.

• An emergency drain is provided. In case of any waterleak, water will drain onto the roof through thisemergency drain.

• External flue piping shall be provided by others andfield installed. The flue of the outdoor enclosure exitsout the left side of the unit and a vertical stack must beconstructed. The stack must be a minimum 1.5 mabove horizontal run from the enclosure. An approvedcap must be used and a drip tee included.

A minimum slope of 17 mm per meter withno “low spots” is recommended. When this is notpossible due to duct elevation or an obstruction, alter-nate arrangements may be used as shown inFigures 19-3 and 19-4 at right.

Any condensate that forms in the vapor hose must beremoved. Preferably, it should be returned to an opendrain with a water seal of sufficient height to contain theduct static pressure, as shown in Figure 19-3.

The condensate also can be returned to the GTS, asshown in Figure 20-1 with an air vent. This methodrequires a water seal and an air gap to prevent backpressure from the GTS chamber. Excessive backpressures imposed on the humidifier may lead todispersion tube(s) spitting, lost water seals, or leakinggaskets. When the distance between the humidifier andthe dispersion device exceeds 3 m, consult factory forspecial recommendations.

AREA-TYPE Humidifier ApplicationInformationThe operating characteristics of AREA-TYPE steamhumidifiers should be considered when selectinghumidifier capacities and choosing mounting loca-tions.

Steam discharge from the humidifier quickly coolsand turns to visible, warm, microscopic drops orparticles of water (fog), which are lighter than air.

Should this fog contact any solid surface (columns,beams, ceiling, pipes, etc.) before it disappears, itmay collect and drip, as water.

The greater the space relative humidity, the higherand farther the “fog” will carry and rise in the spacebefore disappearing.

The table at right states the vertical (rise), horizontal(throw), and width (spread) dimensions that can beexpected with the Area-Type humidifiers.

To avoid steam impingement on surrounding areas,these dimensions should be observed.

Note: The AREA-TYPE fan and brackets are notprovided as a part of the unit and must be orderedseparately by a DRI-STEEM representative. Aftermounting the fan, terminate the wires as specified onthe enclosed wiring diagram.

Note: In order to achieve the distances listed in Table23-1, the fan specifications should be as follows:motor: 230V, 50 Hzblade dia: 45.7 cmflow rate: 2.52m3/second at zero pascals static pressure

Safety SystemsSafety SystemsSafety SystemsSafety SystemsSafety SystemsThe GTS humidifier has a number of systems andsafeguards to ensure proper operation:

• First, when there is a call for humidity, all of thecombustion blowers must start. Each combustionblower sends a signal to the microprocessorrelaying its current speed. If this actual speed isdifferent from the demand speed, the GTS will notoperate.

• The negative pressure gas valves used on the GTSare designed to keep a constant ratio of air and gasthroughout the operating range of the blower. If theflue becomes blocked or the blower fails to run, thegas valve will not pass any gas to the burner andwill shut down the humidifier.

• During operation, the water level in the tank ismonitored by a probe system for standard waterunits and a low water float for DI/RO units. Thesewater monitors tie into the microprocessor in thecontrol cabinet. If the water level ever drops below asafe point, the humidifier is shut down.

• In standard water applications, the water level in thetank is also monitored by a redundant low watersystem that runs independently of the microproces-sor . This system is tied directly into the powersource for the burners. If this system detects a lowwater condition, the humidifier is shut down.

• In addition to monitoring the water level, there is atemperature sensor located near the top of the heatexchanger. If the water level drops too low and boththe main and redundant low water sensors fail todetect it, the temperature sensor will shut thehumidifier down before an unsafe condition occurs.

• For standard water systems, an additional low watersafety system exists. The microprocessor keepstrack of approximately how much water has left thetank in the form of steam. If this total amountexceeds a preset limit without the fill valve beingenergized, a low water condition is assumed and thehumidifier is shut down. Each time the fill valve isenergized, the total amount is reset to zero. (Thissystem is not implemented on a DI/RO humidifierbecause the float valve is not of the electric-solenoid type. On a DI/RO tank, a mechanical fillvalve maintains the proper water level. This fill valveruns independently of the microprocessor. There-fore, there is no way to reset the steam total to zeroas the tank fills.)

For high performance, and to minimize possible equip-ment failure, it is essential that periodic maintenanceand inspections be performed on this appliance. It isreccommended that the following maintenance beperformed at least once every 2000 hours of operation.

GTSGTSGTSGTSGTS®®®®® Standard Model Only Standard Model Only Standard Model Only Standard Model Only Standard Model OnlyUsing softened water will significantly reduce mineralbuildup in the humidifier. When softened water is notavailable, the GTS is designed to deal with waterhardness in one of two ways depending on the degree ofhardness. For light to moderate hardness, using thesurface water skim time feature with annual cleaning isrecommended. For high mineral content water, aperiodic drain and flush through the motorized drainvalve, in addition to the surface water skim time feature,is recommended. The frequency of cleaning will dependon water condition and evaporation load.

The humidifier and piping should be inspected for waterand gas leaks at least annually, all safety devices in thecontrol circuit should be cycled on and off to verify thatthey are functioning.

The skim time is fieldadjustable using the microprocessor.

Each time the GTS refills, it fills to an elevation near thelip of the skim overflow fitting. A portion of the refillwater then flows to drain carrying the minerals floatingon the water with it. This reduces the mineral concentra-tion, thereby reducing the frequency of cleaning needed.

The heated water that flows to drain is a cost ofoperation. Cleaning the humidifier is also an operationalcost. Therefore, it is recommended that the user ob-serve and adjust the skimming quantity. By doing so, abalance between minimizing mineral buildup and con-serving hot water can be achieved.
