Eductor with integrated orifice check valve and scale control tray

A humidifying system comprising:

• a frame;
• a water panel coupled to the frame;
• an eductor in fluid communication with the water panel, the eductor configured to provide a flow of water to the water panel;
• a scale control tray in fluid communication with the water panel, the scale control tray configured to receive wastewater from the water panel;
• a valve assembly fluidly coupled to a water supply at a first inlet and fluidly coupled to the eductor via an outlet, the valve assembly configured to control a flow of water through the eductor;
• and
• a collection member disposed between the first inlet and the scale control tray, the collection member comprising a body configured to enclose at least a portion of the valve assembly;
• wherein the valve assembly comprises a second inlet, the second inlet in fluid communication with the scale control tray, wherein a flow of wastewater from the scale control tray through the second inlet is controlled by a first valve within the valve assembly and a flow of freshwater from the water supply through the first inlet is controlled by a second valve;
• and
• wherein a configuration of the first valve is based on an operational state of the second valve.

A humidifying system comprising:

• a water panel;
• a distribution tray fluidly coupled to the water panel, the distribution tray configured to provide a flow of water to the water panel;
• a scale control tray in fluid communication with the water panel, the scale control tray configured to receive wastewater from the water panel;
• a valve assembly fluidly coupled to the scale control tray and a water supply to form an eductor, the valve assembly configured to control a flow of water through the eductor, and the eductor configured to supply a combination of water from the scale control tray and the water supply to the distribution tray;
• wherein the valve assembly comprises a first inlet and a second inlet, the second inlet in fluid communication with the scale control tray, wherein a flow of wastewater from the scale control tray through the second inlet is controlled by a first valve within the valve assembly and a flow of freshwater from the water supply through the first inlet is controlled by a second valve, wherein the first valve is a check valve and the second valve is a solenoid valve, and wherein a configuration of the first valve is based on an operational state of the second valve;
• wherein the first valve is a check valve;
• and
• wherein the valve assembly comprises a spring disposed between the first valve and the eductor, the spring configured to bias the first valve in an open configuration.
