Operation
Steam Line
The steam line between the cylinder steam outlet and the distributor serves two purposes: it is
used as a conduit to transfer the atmospheric steam from the humidifier to the distributor, as
well as providing a means to remove condensate. See steam distributor on page 10 for
information on selecting steam lines.
Condensate Return
Whenever steam is distributed condensate is formed in the distribution system. Insulating
steam lines is one important way to reduce the amount of condensate formed. Steam lines are
sloped so that condensate does not collect in the lines and create a restriction to steam flow.
The condensate must be collected and removed from the system so that it does not build up
and leak into the duct (or room if blower pack is used). Condensate can be returned to the RH2
fill cup to reduce water waste or can be fed to drain.
