Ultra-sorb troubleshooting guide

Problem

Possible cause

Action

Humidifier discharges 
water in duct

•   Steam main overloaded with water due to boiler 

discharging water with steam (priming)

•  Locate cause of priming and correct. 

•  Steam trap not draining properly

•  Replace, repair, or clean trap as required. 
•   If condensate return main is overloaded, find an alternative 

method for draining.

•  Humidifier improperly piped

•   Correct the piping as shown on Page 16. For horizontal airflow, 

steam inlet should be at the top of the assembly and conden-
sate outlet at the bottom of the assembly. For vertical airflow, 
see Page 14.

•   Surges of condensate in steam supply due to 

condensate collecting at low, undripped point in 
steam main

•  Install drips and steam traps as required. See Page 16.

•  Inadequate steam trap capacity

•  Replace with larger trap.

Slip couplings leak water

•  Defective o-rings in slip couplings

•  Replace o-rings.

Humidity exceeds setting 
of humidistat

•  Automatic valve not fully closing

•  Foreign matter holding valve open; clean valve.
•  Valve spring broken; replace spring. 
•   Valve steam packing too tight; loosen and/or replace packing.
•   Steam pressure exceeds close-off rating of valve spring;  

replace actuator or valve spring with one that is compatible 
with the higher steam pressure.

•  Valve installed backwards; re-install. 
•  Adjust valve linkage.

•  Electric control system malfunctioning

•  Calibrate or replace.

•  Faulty or inaccurately placed humidity controller

•  Replace controller or relocate per catalog recommendations.

•  Poor location of control components

•  Relocate per catalog recommendations.

•  Incompatible control components

•  Replace per specified recommendations.

•  Automatic valve is hunting

•   Humidifier capacity is oversized; change to smaller valve.
•   Pressure reducing valve is not accurately controlling steam 

pressure; repair or replace.

•  Boiler pressure is swinging too widely; adjust.

•  Excessive outside air volume

•   Check fans, dampers, VAV, etc. See formula below.

Mixed Air Inlet formula:

/h)

Control system  
malfunctioning

•  Incorrect control voltage

•  Replace transformer.

•  Incorrect control signal

•  Replace components.

•  Improper wiring connections

•  Rewire.

•  Incorrect humidity sensor

•  Replace.

•   Humidity controller out of calibration

•  Recalibrate.

Air cannot absorb steam 
quantity being  
discharged

•  Humidifier operates when blower is off

•  Provide interlock.

•  Valve is hunting

•  See above. 

•   Air temperature in duct too low for steam  

quantity being emitted

•  Raise duct air temperature.

Humidifier is noisy

•  Steam pressure too high

•  Reduce pressure.

•  Header vibrating within header shell

•  Tighten hardware.
