The ultimateSAM Direct Steam Humidification System is designed to
distribute a uniform blanket of dry steam into a duct or air handling unit.
When properly configured, the ultimateSAM system can accommodate
steam from either an atmospheric or pressurized steam supply system. Its
wide range of steam capacities and abundant options make it ideally suited
for use in a variety of applications, including:
•
Hospitals;
•
Libraries;
•
Museums;
•
Offices.
For pressurized supply systems, steam enters the ultimateSAM distributor
from a control valve and immediately drops to nearly atmospheric pressure.
In this way, there is no further steam expansion and, consequently, less
opportunity for additional condensate to form. Additionally, the internal
stainless-steel surfaces of the distributor are thermally insulated to minimize
condensate formation. Finally, the steam injection tubes are designed with
baffling and nozzle inserts to insure that only a very high quality dry steam
is discharged into the duct.

: The inlet adapter, control valve, actuator, trap, and strainer shown
above are available as options. The “P” drains are not provided as part of
the ultimateSAM system.
