7. Connection
7.3 Piping
Connect the supply and drain pipes (supplied by customer) in accordance with the
installation details. Steam, compressed air and water must be equipped with stop valves.
Water connection must be according to DIN 1988. To avoid sound conduction through
solids, an intermediate piece - made of flexible metal hose - can be connected and the
pipe holders can be insulated.
7.3.1 Steam
Insulate the installation and connection pipes. Avoid the use of asbestos!
Operating pressure 4 - 5 bar (58 - 72.5 psi) saturated steam. At a pre-pressure of
more than 5 bar (72.5 psi) a reducing valve with pressure gauge must be installed
and set in a way that the admissible max. perc temperature of 150 °C (302 °F)
(please measure!) is not exceeded. (Danger of solvent decomposition and machine damage!)
Steam peak demand: P 240 /P 300
P 300 USA /P 350 USA
(steam generator size) 0.6 kg/min. 1.3 lb/min.

7.3.2 Condensate
Install insulated condensation line with a slope, away from machine.
In case of an ascending slope check valve and drainage must be at the lowest point.
Important: Condensate counter-pressure must be at least
1.5 bar (21.8 psi) below the steam inlet pressure.
