5.3.5 Installing the steam hose
Important! Use originalCondairsteamhoseexclusively.Othertypesofsteamhosescancause
undesiredoperationalmalfunctions.
Instructions for the hose layout
Thehoselayoutdependsonthepositionofthesteamdistributionpipe:
– Steam distribution pipe is mounted morethan300mmabovethetopedgeofthehumidier:
Initially, lead the steam hose with an upslope of at least 20% over a minimum height of 300
mm, then lead the hose with a minimum upslope of 20%
and/oraminimum downslope of
5% to the steam distribution pipe.
– Steam distribution pipe is mounted lessthan300mmabovethetopedgeofthehumidier:
Initially, the steam hose is led with an upslope of at least 20 % over a minimum height of 300
mm
abovethetopedgeofthehumidierandthendowntothesteamdistributionpipewitha
minimum slope of 5 %.
– Thesteamhoseshouldbekeptasshortaspossible(max. 4 m)whileobservingtheminimum
bend radius of 300 mm. Important!Allowancemustbemadeforapressure loss of 10 mm
water column (approx. 100 Pa) per meter steam hose.
Note:Ifyourparticularinstallationexceedsthemaximumsteamhoselengthof4mcontactyour
Condair representative. In any case, steam hoses longer than 4 m must be insulated in their
entire length.
– Reductionsinthecrosssectionsuchaskinksshouldbeavoidedthroughouttheentirelengthof
thehose.Theinstallationofastopcockinthesteamhoseisnotpermissible.
