STEAM INJECTION INSTALLATION, OPERATION, AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
8. Install control tubing (pneumatic) or wiring (electric) to
valve actuator.
9. Install an airflow proving switch to prevent the valve from
opening unless air is moving in duct. See “Humidifier
placement” on Pages 6 – 8 for location
recommendations.
10. Install a duct-mounted high-limit humidistat downstream
from the humidifier. Set humidistat at 80-90% RH
to prevent condensation forming in the duct. Mount
this humidistat far enough downstream to ensure that
injected steam has been completely absorbed before
the humidistat. See “Humidifier placement” on Pages
6 – 8 for location recommendations.
11. Install a temperature switch to prevent possible cold-start
dripping when steam pressure to the humidifier is cycled.
See “Temperature switches” on Pages 16 – 19 for
more information.
12. Install the humidistat and/or sensors according to the
