IMPORTANT:
Loop drain hose
below Model 850
to provide trap.
Drain
The Model 850 must be located near the Model 800 Residential
Steam Humidifier to minimize the length of the steam hose . If the
Model 850 is mounted directly above the humidifier, 16” is required
for the steam hose to make the bend . See
Figure 2
.
noTe:
The loop
in the condensate hose is required to prevent steam from escaping
into the drain .
Six feet of steam hose is provided with the Model 800 Steam
Humidifier . If the Fan Pack is mounted more than six feet from the
Humidifier, splice in 1” copper pipe (1-1/8” O .D .) as shown in
Figure 3
. Due to condensation inside the hose or pipe, the output
of the Fan Pack depends on the length of the steam hose or pipe
connecting it to the Humidifier . When the humidifier is wired to
120 volts, the fan pack will deliver 11 .5 gpd with up to 2 feet of hose
or insulated pipe . Each additional 2 feet of hose or pipe will reduce
output by approximately 1 gpd .
Humidity behaves like a gas and under ideal conditions will expand to
fill the space . However, air movement due to drafts or as a result of
temperature stratification may cause uneven distribution of humidity
within the conditioned space . To ensure even RH distribution, install
system in a central location . If a central location is not available, it
may be necessary to install two systems . Two systems will provide
more even RH distribution than one .
To prevent condensation on surfaces and furnishings, install the fan
pack so the steam being discharged has enough room to be absorbed
into the air before encountering surfaces .
