Carel UU01GD humiSonic Parts

Ultrasonic humidifiers feature a small water storage tank and piezoelectric transducers installed at the bottom of the tank. The surface of the transducer vibrates at very high speed (1.65 million times a second), a speed that does not allow the water to move due to its inertial mass. During the negative amplitude of the transducer cycle, a sudden void is created that brings about the production of microscopic bubbles, which are pushed to the surface of the water during the positive amplitude of the cycle. This effect is called cavitation. During this process, the resulting intersecting sound waves created directly underneath the surface of the water cause very small droplets of water to separate, forming a fine mist of vapor that is immediately absorbed by the flow of air.

In the tank requires maintenance after one year (or 1500 operating hours, if cleaned periodically), or if not used for an extended period. Replacement is required immediately – even before the scheduled period – should problems occur. (For example, when scale inside the tank prevents correct operation of the piezoelectric transducers)

When cleaning plastic parts do not use detergents/solvents; descaling can be performed using a 20% acetic acid solution, followed by rinsing with water.
