– Steam distribution pipe is mounted
less than 300 mm above the top edge of the humidifier
:
Condensate hose is led down with a
minimum slope of 20 %
, in the form of a
siphon (min.
hose bend diameter Ø200 mm)
, directly into a discharge funnel.
Note
: If your unit feeds a number of steam distribution pipes, the individual condensate hoses are
to be led into the discharge funnel.
Important!
Before putting the unit into operation, the siphon of the condensate hose must be filled
with water.

Steam distributors (steam distribution pipe or OptiSorp steam distribution system) correctly
positioned and secured (screws tightened)?
Are the outlet orifices at right angles to the air flow direction?
– Steam hose
Maximum length of 4 m?
Minimum bend radius of 300 mm (4-5 x internal diameter with fixed piping)?
Have the instructions for hose positioning been followed?
Steam hose: no sagging (condensate pocket) or condensate drain with siphon (hose bend
with a minimum diameter of 200 mm) installed at the lowest point?
Rigid steam lines: properly insulated? Correct installation material used? Minimum internal
diameter maintained?
Steam hose(s) securely attached with clamps?
Heat expansion during operation and shortening of the hose with ageing taken into considera

– Condensate hose
Downslope of at least 20 %?
