Notes:
•
Values in this table are based on XT Series humidifi ers, and condensate fl owing in direction of steam (steam hose or tubing pitched toward
dispersion device).
*
Use DriSteem steam hose for best results. Field-supplied hose may have shorter life and may cause foaming in cylinder, resulting in condensate
discharge at dispersion assembly. Do not use steam hose for outdoor applications.
** These models have two steam cylinders. Capacities based on use with fi ll cup extensions.
†
For Models XTP 050 through XTP 096, capacities listed are maximum steam carrying capacity per tube attached to each cylinder, with separate
steam tubing from each cylinder to connection on dispersion device. See Figure 24-1.
††
DriSteem recommends 10' (3 m) maximum steam hose length pitched at 2"/ft (15%). Steam hose can sag if not supported for its full length.
Sagging leads to collecting condensate and system pressure issues. Metallic tubing is less prone to sagging and can allow for 1/8"/ft (1%) pitch
minimum and longer distances.
†††
Developed length of tubing equals measured length plus 50% of measured length, to account for fi ttings.
INSTALLATION
Dispersion: Interconnecting piping requirements
Condensate control and collection
Controlling condensate fl ow and collection
in an XT Series humidifi er system is critical
to performance. To maximize humidifi er
performance:
• See Table and 26-1.
• Follow all installation recommendations
for your specific humidifier and
dispersion assembly from here through
Page 44.
