Steam Dispersion General Recommendations 

Follow these general rules based on the steam capacity of the humidifier: 

 

The connection pipe sizes between the SKG4 and the steam distributor in the duct must be: 

o

 

76mm up to 100kg/h 

o

 

100mm up to 200kg/h 

o

 

125mm up to 300kg/h 

 

For all humidifiers having a capacity below 100kg/h, use standard Neptronic S.A.M.E2 steam 
distribution pipes. A Multi-Steam system can be offered if shorter absorption distances are 
required. 

 

For all humidifiers having a capacity above 100kg/h, use the Multi-Steam system. 

 

For all humidifiers having a capacity above 300kg/h, use 2 Multi-Steam units per air handling 
unit (AHU) or air duct with an equal duty split to each Multi-Steam system. 

Selection of Steam Distribution Manifolds 

 

The minimum steam manifold length that can be used with the models SKG4-E0501 to 
SKG4-E1001 is 900mm. Any manifold below this dimension will have insufficient outlet 
spigots to allow proper steam distribution. 

 

If the duct has a width below 900mm, it will be necessary to either fit multiple pipes or use a 
Multi-Steam system. 

S.A.M.E2 System 

Positioning the S.A.M.E2 

The steam manifold must be mounted and secured  through the side of the  air  handling unit  or duct. 
Ensure  that provisions  are  made for  safe  accessibility,  ideally  with an  observation  light and  window. 
Ensure  that  the  construction  of  the  duct  wall  is  suitable  enough  to  support  the  steam  pipe  for  the 
duration of the installation life. 
The dimension of the hole size in the duct must be as follows: 

Steam Manifold Ø  Hole Size ØA 

54 mm 

76 mm 

 

 

Illustration 16 - Duct Hole Dimensions and Minimum Distance 

 

WARNING: Risk of condensation. Ensure that the minimum distance at the end of 
the manifold is at least 102 mm from the top of the duct.
