5.8 Condensate Hose
Note:
When installing the condensate hose, please pay atten-
tion to the following:
Warning:
To keep condensate from accumulating in the duct,
make sure condensate can drain freely.
If the steam manifold is positioned higher than 500 mm
above the steam humidifier:
»
Remove the condensate plug (12) from the connection
fitting on the cylinde.
»
Lay the condensate hose at an approximate incline of
5-10% to the steam cylinder connection fitting, to allow
the condensate to drain freely.
Note:
It is recommended to form a loop of 200 mm diameter as
a vapour trap provided there is enough space. Possible operat-
ing noises can be reduced in this manner.
If the steam manifold is positioned lower than 500 mm
above the steam humidifier:
»
The condensate must be drained separately.
»
To prevent steam loss, lay a loop at least 200 mm in di-
ameter.
»
To ensure condensate drainage, place the loop (vapor
trap) as far away as possible below the steam manifold
connection.
»
The condensate connection on the steam cylinder must
be closed with a sealing cap.
»
Place hose clamps at intervals of at least 500 mm, de-
pending on how the hose is laid.
5.9 Types of Installation
If the steam manifold is positioned higher than 500 mm
above the steam humidifier:
»
Lay the steam hose at a height of at least 400 mm
above unit and then connect to the steam manifold with
a constant rise or fall.
»
Lay condensate hose with a slope to the steam cylin-
der.
