1. Getting to know your instrument
Humans spend a large proportion of their time indoors. The air indoors is often polluted with dust particles,
pollen, animal hair and odours and is too dry, particularly in winter. Ambient air that is too dry may have a
number of negative effects.
The LW 110 air washer humidifies air that is too dry and simultaneously cleans it from dust, pollen, animal
hair and odours. Just like rain does in nature, the air is “washed clean”.
The LW 110 air washer
– Washes and humidifies air particularly hygienically without filter mats
– Operates quietly with three output levels
– Suitable for rooms up to 36 m² in size
– Consumes little energy and automatically switches off if the water runs out
– Easy to clean and dishwasher-safe
Principle of air washing
1. The quiet and low-energy fan sucks the dirty air in from the top.
2. The air passes over the humidification discs, which continuously rotate in
water, and picks up calcium-free humidity.
3. The water acts as a natural filter that cleans the supplied air from dust.
4. The cleaned and humidified air escapes through lateral outlets.
A relative humidity of between 40 and 60% is generally recommended. This
value is often not reached in winter when cold air enters living spaces that are
being aired and is then warmed up. Air can absorb more humidity in line with
increasing air temperature. The air tries to compensate by taking humidity from
other sources such as mucous membranes, skin, furniture and accessories,
etc. This may have a number of negative effects:
– mucous membranes dry out, lips become chapped and dry, eyes become irritated;
– infections and respiratory diseases are more likely to occur;
– exhaustion, tiredness and difficulty concentrating;
– pets and plants are put under unnecessary strain;
– promotion of dust and electrostatic charging of textiles made of synthetic fibres, carpets and plastic floor
coverings;
– damage to furniture made of wood, particularly parquet floors;
– detuning of musical instruments.
The air washer now enables the air to gather the required humidity on the large surfaces of the humidification
discs. Air humidification is carried out by the principle of auto-regulating cold evaporation. No additional
control units are required.
Water additives are recommended to prevent bacteria building up. Regular cleaning is obligatory.
