I. STEAM INFORMATION
It is your responsibility to have ALL steam plumbing connections made by a qualified professional to assure that the
installation is adequate and conforms to local and state regulations or codes.
IMPORTANT: Failure to comply with the requirements stipulated in this manual can result in component
failure, which will VOID THE WARRANTY.
NOTE: The dryer is manufactured with a pneumatic (piston) damper system, which requires an external
supply of clean, dry, and regulated air 80 PSI +/- 10 PSI (5.51 bar +/- 0.68 bar).
1. Steam Coil pH Level
The normal pH level for copper type steam coils must be maintained between a value of 8.5 to 9.5. For steel type
steam coils the pH level must be maintained between a value of 9.5 to 10.5. These limits are set to limit the acid
attack of the steam coils.
IMPORTANT: Coil failure due to improper pH level will VOID THE WARRANTY.

3. Installation Instructions
To ensure that an adequate supply of steam is provided, be sure that the steam supply line and steam return line
are sized and laid out as stipulated in this manual. Inadequate steam supply line and steam return line or improper
steam plumbing will result in poor performance and can cause component failure. Clean, dry, and regulated steam
must be provided to the dryer.
IMPORTANT: Steam coil failure due to water hammer by wet steam will VOID THE WARRANTY.
