Step 4. Install the Armstrong Steam Trap
and connect
the trap to the return header. It is important:
A. To provide a dirt pocket ahead of the trap as
shown in the drawings.
B. To make sure the return header pressure is well
below the steam supply pressure.
Never connect
a humidifi er trap to a line carrying returns from
high pressure traps.
Step 5. Install Fan and Motor
of AMAF, AMEF, and FSA
units. The bracket is located on the side opposite the
steam discharge outlet in the humidi
fi
er cap. Cap screws
are provided.
Step 6. Make Electric Connections for AMEF model fan
motors.
Electrical connections are shown in double dash
lines in Fig. 3-2.
A. If automatic control of the fan motor is desired, in-
stall a pneumatic-electric relay. The relay should
be set to start fan with a 2 psi air signal.
See Fig. 3-2.
P.R.V. Installation. Reducing Valves.
Where the steam
pressure available for humidi
fi
ers is too high, a reducing
valve of the single-seated or dead-end type should be
used. The reducing valve should be at least 10 ft. from the
humidi
fi
er. If the supply line is more than 20 ft. long, pro-
vide a drip pocket and extra trap just ahead of the pressure
reducing valve.
Relief Valve.
A pressure relief valve between the humidi
fi
er
and pressure reducing valve is a good insurance. Humidi-
fi
er bodies are only rated for 60 psig steam service.
Pressure Gage.
A pressure gage or connection for install-
ing a gage between reducing valve and the humidi
fi
er may
save its cost many times over.
