Requirements for the installation room
The Condair RH-DS steam humidification system is designed for installation in sheltered indoor environ-
ments. Please observe the following notes regarding the requirements for the installation site:
– Where possible, the steam humidification system should be installed in a separate and lockable
technical room with limited access for people.
– The installation room should have a
floor drain
or a
lifting system
(sewage pump) connected to
the wastewater line of the building.
– The installation room should be ventilated (if possible) and have the following temperature and
humidity values throughout the year:
Room temperature: +15°C to +30°C
Room humidity:
15 %rh to 75 %rh (non-condensing)
– Depending on the location of the steam humidifier and the steam distribution unit, one or two open
drain funnels with trap must be available in the installation room, which is/are connected to the build-
ing's wastewater line.
– The steam humidifier must be installed in the room in such a way that the maximum permissible
length of the steam hose of 4 m between the steam distribution unit and the steam humidifier is not
exceeded, that the minimum hose bending radius of 250 mm is observed and that the steam line has
a constant up- or downslope between the connection on the steam humidifier and the connection
on the steam distribution unit (see information on steam hose routing in
Note: In order that the steam humidifier can be mounted to the ceiling between the pipes of the ven-
tilation unit with the ceiling bracket (available as an accessory), there must be a minimum distance
of 300 mm between the ventilation pipes.
– Make sure that the construction (wall, ceiling, etc.) to which the steam humidifier is to be mounted,
offers a
sufficient load-bearing capacity
, and is suitable for the installation
– The steam distribution unit and the steam humidifier should be installed in the room in such a way
that they are easily accessible and there is enough space for maintenance.
