ULTRA-SORB MP INSTALLATION, OPERATION, AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
INSTALLATION
Mounting and support
The Ultra-sorb panel can operate with air flow in either direction. The steam
supply and condensate drain connections must be connected to the header
assembly. To locate connections, the panel may be rotated 180º to the
preferred side of the AHU or duct.
Once installed, verify that all steam discharge tubelets are pointed
perpendicular to the airstream (see Figure 14-1). Loosen the jam nut at
the top of the tube to allow rotation of the dispersion tubes for proper tubelet
orientation.
When removing and installing the dispersion tubes, verify that the replacement
grommets are seated in their grooves and lubricated. When sliding the
dispersion tube into the grommet, be careful not to cut the grommet.
Note: To prevent leakage, use HVAC caulking, compressible strip, or a similar
weather sealant to the dispersion panel joints and duct flanges. Seal all
places where the Ultra-sorb installation hardware and fittings penetrate
the wall of the duct. See Figure 14-1 below.
