SECTION 1: GENERAL INFORMATION
Amerec steam generators are tested by Intertek-ETL Laboratory. The
steam generators come assembled and ready for installation. Check that
the size and rating of the generator is suitable for your application:, refer to
the AK Steam Room Sizing and Rough-in Guide (Amerec doc. 4211-36).
The AK steamers may be connected as a ganged system where one
steamer controls one or two other steamers. Bath controls connect to the primary steamer and the primary steamer
connects to the second steamer (and third steamer, if installed). This provides more power for large rooms and light
commercial use.
See appendix to this document for details.
We recommend choosing steamers which are closely matched in power. The highest kW steamer should be the
primary unit. Each steamer should have its own automatic drain.
For commercial use, we recommend checking with your local inspectors to confirm the AK system is acceptable for
your use. Many jurisdictions will require an ASME boiler for commercial use: AK steamers are not boilers.
Note
: The AK steamer may be configured for single or three phase power during installation
IMPORTANT
An exhaust fan installed outside the steam room is strongly recommended
to remove excess steam from the bathroom or shower area.
