Piping from a pressurized steam application
STEAM FROM A PRESSURIZED STEAM
Ultra-sorb panels for pressurized steam have a threaded pipe nipple that
extends outside the framework for a steam supply connection. The steam
supply line should be dripped immediately ahead of the steam valve through a
steam trap. See Figure 6-3.
RECOMMENDED TRAP FOR STEAM MAIN DRIP LEG
Use a float and thermostatic (F&T) trap on the steam supply if ≤15 psi and not
lifting condensate. Use an inverted bucket trap if > 15 psi or lifting condensate.
DRIEST STEAM
To ensure driest steam, take humidifier steam off the top of the steam main (not
the side or bottom).
