The presence of condensate in the steam supply line will
cause water hammer and subsequent heat exchanger
(steam coil) failure. The steam supply connection into the
main supply line must be made with a minimum 12-inch
(30.48 cm) riser. This will prevent any condensate from
draining towards the dryer.
The steam supply line to the dryer must include a 12-inch
(30.48 cm) riser along with a drip trap and check valve. This
will prevent any condensate from entering the steam coil.
Flexible hoses or couplings must be used. The dryer vibrates
slightly when it runs and this will cause the steam coil
connections to crack if they are hard piped to the supply
and return mains.
Shutoff valves for each dryer should be installed in the supply
line, return line, and drip trap return line. This will allow the
dryer to be isolated from the supply main and the return
main if the dryer needs maintenance work.
Install an inverted bucket steam trap and check valve at
least 12-inches (30.48 cm) below each steam coil return
manifold as close to the coil as possible. Two traps, each
with a capacity of 600 lb (272 kg) of condensate per hour at
125 psi (8.62 bar), are needed for each unit.
Dryers with optional steam solenoid valve: valve must be
mounted with coil positioned directly above the valve body.
The supply line and the return line should be insulated. This
will save energy and provide for the safety of the operator
and maintenance personnel.
Water pockets in the supply lines, caused by low points, will
provide wet steam to the coil possibly causing steam coil
damage. All horizontal runs of steam supply piping should
be pitched 1/4-inch (6.35 mm) for every 1 foot (0.31 meters)
back towards the steam supply header causing the
condensate in the line to drain to the header. Install a bypass
trap in any low point to eliminate wet steam.
Steam Damper Air System Connections
In standard format, this dryer is manufactured with a
pneumatic (piston) damper system, which requires an
external supply of compressed air. The air connection is
made to the steam damper solenoid valve, which is located
at the rear of the top console.

Air Connection
Air connection to system — 1/4” Quick Connection
No air regulator or filtration is provided with the dryer.
External regulation/filtration of 80 psi (5.51 bar) must be
provided. It is suggested that a regulator/filter gauge
arrangement be added to the compressed air line just before
the dryer connection. This is necessary to ensure that correct
and clean air pressure is achieved.
