Nortec Mini SAM-e with Pressurized Steam 

Nortec Mini SAM-e Pressurized with External Separator 

 

 

 

 

 

 

• Steam components in grey provided by Condair. 

• Tap steam from top of pressurize steam main to avoid excess condensate. 

• Condensate from separator to be returned to pressurized condensate main. 

• Condensate from Nortec SAM-e to be returned to atmospheric floor drain. 

 

When pressurized steam enters Nortec SAM-e, pressure drops down to almost atmospheric 

pressure. Therefore, it must be drained atmospherically, and the use of a condensate pump (rated 

for 212ºF) must be used to raise condensate to a higher elevation.
