General recommendations
Follow these general installation rules in order to avoid
any condensation accumulation which can cause
severe water accumulation in the duct or a humidifier
malfunction.
IMPORTANT: Risk of malfunction. Avoid kinks,
sags and areas where condensate can become
trapped.
a)
The slope of the steam hose (rigid or flexible)
should not be less than 15%
(7 horizontal lengths
for 1 vertical length) in order to ensure continuous
drainage of condensation back to humidifier or to a
steam trap.
b)
The lowest point of any steam hose or rigid
pipe must be the humidifier (fig.7b).
If the
humidifier cannot be the lowest point of the piping,
install a steam trap(s) (S Type) at the lowest
point(s) of the steam supply piping (fig.7c). This
trap should have a
minimum height of 3” (76mm).
c)
Total length of the steam hose or rigid pipe
should not exceed 6 feet (1,8 meters).
Longer
runs will result in added condensation losses and
may result in system malfunction. Minimum radius
of any change of direction should be 12'' (307mm).
A maximum of 2 long radius elbows (12’’) are to be
used on the steam distribution line.
d)
Whenever using rigid copper pipe, use insulation to
diminish condensate build up.
