1) amperage, 2) voltage, and 3) speed. For instance motors are inductive loads which
require time delay fuses. Electric reheat and humidifiers are resistive loads requiring
fast acting fuses.
10.3 Electric Reheat
The electric reheat is a finned enclosed, sheath type, fabricated of stainless steel core
sheath with plated fins to withstand moist conditions. The reheat is installed on the air
discharge side of the cooling coil and has three (3) stages. The reheat is capable of
maintaining room dry bulb conditions when the system is calling for dehumidification.
The reheat section includes a safety switches to protect the system from overheating.
The low-watt density elements eliminate ionization associated with open air electric
resistance heating.
Heating elements do not normally require maintenance. However, they may
accumulate a film of dust or dirt when unused for extended periods of time. When
energized, the burning debris can create smoke or an unpleasant odor. To help avoid a
problem, periodic cleaning is recommended.
10.4 Humidifier
The unit is provided with a self-contained, microprocessor-controlled steam generator
type humidifier. The steam generating humidifier uses a disposable cylinder with
electronic controls. The humidifier discharges pure steam with no material dust carry-
over and has a self-regulating automatic flush cycle. Cylinders are disposable and do
not requiring cleaning or maintenance. The humidifier fill level, water conductivity and
flush rate automatically adapt, both in frequency and duration, to variations in the
incoming water. The humidifier assembly is capacity field-adjustable and includes a
high-water probe. Drain duration and drain interval are also field-adjustable.
10.4.1 Humidifier Canisters
The steam generator type humidifier does not require maintenance other than to
replace the canister as required. The frequency of change will depend on usage and
water type. A set of the humidifier manufacturer’s instructions is included with the
paperwork placed inside the unit when it ships.
10.5 Refrigerant Filter Drier
Factory installed refrigerant filter driers do not normally require maintenance. When
replacing compressors or other repairs that open the refrigeration system to
