7. Installation
• Isolate the power supply before installation
• Confirm the model you have selected is suitable for your steam room, please refer to chart
below
• Mount the steam inlet nozzle approximately 300mm up from the floor and it should be at least
200mm from person’s body.
• If the steam generator is installed in an inaccessible place ensure that both the electrical
power and water supply can be isolated in an emergency.
• To use the steam generator in single phase the L1 L2 and L3 must be linked together with the
copper bridges that are supplied. See circuit diagram on page 9.
• The minimum water inlet pressure is 0.25 bar (2.5 Mpascals) and the maximum is 2 bar (20
Mpascals), for pressures in excess of this use a reducer before the valve as shown in diagrams
on page 6 and 7.
• The steam pipe from steam generator to steam room should be kept to a minimum, pipes
longer than 3 meters should be insulated to prevent heat loss. Steam pipes will be hot during
use and must be protected against accidental contact. Steam entering the steam room will
be scalding hot; take care to position the inlet nozzle away from where users will sit and/or
provide adequate guarding, post a notice to caution users.
• Keep the number of right angle bends to a minimum and ensure that the run does not create
a trap into which condensate would gather and cause a blockage I.e. the pipe must not go
down and then up.
• There must be no valve or other blockage in the steam pipe
• The steam pipe should be metal of other material that can endure 150°C temperature, copper
pipe is recommended.
• It is not recommended to install the steam generator outdoors or where it might be affected
by frost. Allow for a minimum space of 0.5 cubic meters to install the generator.
• Steam generator should be level side-to-side and front to back and should be installed so that
the arrows on the case point up.
• Do not install the steam generator in close proximity to hazardous substances.
7.1. Generator Size
The table opposite should be referred to for guidance only.
Please note that the size of generator required to heat a
particular size of steam room will vary according to a number
of factors including the type of material used for construction,
the height of the steam room and the ambient temperature.
For lightweight materials such as plastics and laminates 1 KW will
heat up to 1 cubic meter of air for dense materials such as stones
and ceramics which will conduct the heat away more rapidly allow
for up to 2KW per cubic meter of air. Hot air rises so restricting
the height to around 2 meters will ensure the user is sitting in the
steam for higher ceilings you may need to increase the power
requirement.
