XT SERIES INSTALLATION, OPERATION, AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
STEAM SUPPLY CONNECTIONS TO RAPID-SORB HEADER
Connect the steam supply interconnecting piping from the humidifi er to the
Rapid-sorb. Steam supply piping requires a minimum of 1/8"/ft (1%) pitch
toward the header.
If two humidifi ers are supplying one Rapid-sorb, a steam supply connector
is needed. Typically, the steam supply connector attaches to the Rapid-sorb
header supply end with hose cuff and clamps:
1. Always run separate steam tubing from each cylinder to the connection
on the dispersion device. Connect a maximum of two cylinders to any
single dispersion unit. See page 24 for more detailed instructions and
connector kit part numbers.
2. Position the steam supply connector to accept the steam supplies while
maintaining the necessary pitch.
3. Make sure the hose clamps on the steam supply connector and header are
tight.
CONDENSATE DRAIN CONNECTIONS TO RAPID-SORB HEADER
Piping must be minimum 3/4" I.D. (DN20) and rated for 212 °F (100 °C)
minimum continuous operating temperature.
The condensate drain line must be piped as shown in Figure 35-1. Provide
a 6" (150 mm) drop prior to a 5" (125 mm) water seal to:
• Ensure drainage of condensate from the header
• Keep steam from blowing out of the drain line
After the water seal, run the drain line to an open drain with a 1" (25 mm)
vertical air gap.
• Cut the drain line at a 45° angle on the end above the drain to permit a
direct stream of water into the drain pipe while maintaining a 1" (25 mm)
air gap.
• Locate air gap only in spaces with adequate temperature and air movement
to absorb fl ash steam, or condensing on nearby surfaces may occur.
All drain lines must be installed and sized according to governing codes.
