Tab. 8.p
• the data shown in the table refer to steam at atmospheric pressure;
• the data refer to an ambient temperature of 20°C (68°F).
Tips for the correct installation of steam and condensate pipes for lengths greater than 4 m (13 ft):
• the steam distribution line must have “T” fi ttings for the condensate drain. The distance between two “T” fi ttings must not
exceed 5 m (16 ft);
• downstream of each “T” fi tting there must be a drain with a train trap, minimum diameter 200 mm (8”), to prevent steam from
escaping;
• the condensate drain line must always be positioned lower than the steam line;
• for steam lines that change from horizontal to vertical, a condensate drain must be provided at the lowest point on the line;
• the condensate drain line must have a minimum slop of 5° to facilitate drainage;
• condensate from the ultimateSAM distributor or more complex systems must be connected to water temperature reduction
devices (if required) before being discharged into the building’s drain line. Excessive quantities of condensate (for example,
deriving from multiple ultimateSAM distributors) must not be carried into the humidifi er;
• each individual condensate drain line must be fi tted with a drain trap before running to the main drain line;
• the condensate drain line must have no restrictions in size and the drain trap must be fi lled with water before starting.
