1.0 Introduction & Scope

1.1 This method of statement specifies the detailed requirement and procurement for the
testing and commissioning of humidifier for the above stated project.

1.2 Application Project Specification

As per JO Drawing: Reference MS-5A-7201

2.0 Location of Activity:

Building 5A, L2

3.0 Method and Procedures:

Preparation Works:

Before starting with testing and commissioning of humidifier the following shall be
carried out:

1. Be sure that all installation works are complying with the approved
method of statement and approved by the Engineer.
2. Make sure that the electrical connection has been tested and approved by
the electrical engineer.

Testing and Commissioning:

1. Check steam humidifier and installation for damages.

2. Check whether the unit covers are correctly in place and fastened.
3. Check the power supply for the humidifier unit
4. Check initial temperature and humidity of the area under test
5. Open the shut off valve to the water feed.
6. Switch on the service switch for network supplies.
7. Switch on the steam humidifier, the steam humidifier carries out a system
test, during which all the LEDs light up in sequence.

If, after the system test:

• The yellow LED blinks permanently, a BUS failure is present. Consult

manufacturer’s troubleshooting manual.
• The Yellow LED light permanently, steam cylinder maintenance has not
been reset.
• The yellow LED and the red LED light permanently, the steam cylinder
maintenance has not been executed or the maintenance indication has not
been reset.

 • The red LED light permanently, a fatal malfunction has occurred, in this
case press the drain/info key for 3 seconds until operation status display is
activated.
• The system is now ready for normal operation.

8. Check actual electrical load of the humidifier unit

9. Check actual steam generating output of the humidifier unit
10. Check the unit automatic On/Off operation as per humidistat setting

Performance Testing:

As soon as the humidity controller or the humidistat requires humidity, power is

switched on for heating (the green LED lights up). The inlet valves opens (slightly
delayed) and the steam cylinder fills with water. The submerged electrodes heat
the water up and after few minutes (approx. 5-10 minutes) steam is produced.
