STEAM DISTRIBUTOR
CONDENSATION RECOVERY
1.
Regardless of the type of application, a certain
amount of condensation forms inside the steam
distributor.
This condensation must be drained in order not to
obstruct the steam flow. If the steam distributor is
positioned at a point higher than the humidifier and
the steam tube does not generate siphons, the
condensate recovery tube may not be installed (eg.
fig. 3).

2.
If the steam distributor is positioned at a point higher than the humidifier and the steam tube
generates a siphon (e.g. Fig. 4), the condensate recovery tube must be installed, directly
discharging in the appropriate cylinder sleeve of the humidifier (Fig. 5) or in a water collection
well. Condensate recovery is performed by connecting the PEGO
UMITUBODN10
tube,
specific for this type of application, to the 10mm diameter sleeve of the steam distributor. In the
path of the condensate recovery tube, from the steam ditributor to the humidifier or from the
steam ditributor to the well, it is necessary to perform a siphon with a complete turn with a
minimum diameter of 200mm; the siphon must also be filled with water before installation.
This will prevent the steam outlet from the condensate recovery tube (fig. 4).

If the steam distributor is positioned lower than the humidifier, as generally happens in
installations with OEM series humidifiers, it is essential to perform the condensate recovery by
discharging into a water collection well.
