5.5 Steam Line
Note:
When installing the steam hose, please pay attention to
the following:
•
The steam hose diameter may not be smaller than the
steam outlet of the HygroMatik steam humidifier (do not
restrict the cross-section, otherwise back pressure will
increase).
•
The steam hose must be without sags and kinks and be
laid with a continuous slope of 5-10% (otherwise sags will
be formed).
•
The steam hose should be as short as possible. In case of
lengths of over 5 m the hose should be insulated to avoid
excess condensation.
•
In the case that steam output is distributed on two steam
manifolds the T-pieces for the steam and condensate hose
should be installed near the manifolds. If the installation is
carried out in this way only one steam hose is necessary
for the main part, loss of condensate will be decreased.
•
Depending on how the hose is laid, hose clips should be
set at intervals of approx. 500 mm.
•
Allow access to the steam hose, so that it can be inspec-
ted later.
•
In case of straight lengths of several meters, it is recom-
mended to place the steam hose in temperature resistant
plastic pipe (40 mm dia for hose DN25; 60 mm dia for hose
DN40) or to use copper pipe.
•
Only genuine HygroMatik hoses are capable of withstan-
ding the operating conditions. Allow for minimum bending
radii:
Steam hose DN 25: Rmin = 200 mm
Steam hose DN 40: Rmin = 400 mm
