XT SERIES INSTALLATION, OPERATION, AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
INSTALLATION
XT Series humidifier steam outlet
The steam outlet on the humidifi er is sized
to the output of the humidifi er. DO NOT use
interconnecting steam hose or tubing with an
inside diameter smaller than the humidifi er
steam outlet. Reducing the inside diameter will
result in the internal humidifi er system pressure
exceeding the parameters for acceptable
performance.
• See maximum steam carrying capacities in
Table 26-1 and 27-1.
• If the humidifier must be located higher
than the dispersion assembly, use the
recommended installation shown in Figure
29-1.

CONDENSATE RETURN GUIDELINES
To prevent overfi lling the steam cylinder, follow the condensate guidelines
below:
• When condensate can be returned to the steam cylinder:
– Single dispersion tube
– Up to 20 lbs/hr (9.1 kg/h) of steam production
– 10' (3 m) or less of steam hose between humidifi er and dispersion
– 20' (6 m) or less of tubing between humidifi er and dispersion
• When condensate should be wasted to the drain:
– Ultra-sorb or Rapid-sorb dispersion
– Single dispersion tube with condensate drain
– Single dispersion tube with:
- More than 20 lbs/hr (9.1 kg/h) or more of steam production, or
- More than 10' (3 m) of steam hose between humidifi er and
dispersion
- More than 20' (6 m) of tubing between humidifi er and dispersion
