Condair EL2 - Installing the Condensate Hose

34
– Steamhosesmustbepreventedfromsagging(condensatepockets);ifnecessary,supportwith
pipe clamps, trough, or wall brackets, or install a condensate drain in the steam hose.
– Important!Whendecidingonthelengthandlayoutofthehose,itshouldbenotedthatthesteam
hose may become somewhat shorter with progressive ageing.
Securing the hose
Thesteamhosemustbesecuredtothesteamdistributionpipeandhumidiersteamoutletbymeans
ofhose clamps.
Caution!Donotovertightenthehoseclamponthesteamconnectorofthesteamhumidier.
Steamlinewithxedpiping
Forsteamlineswithxedpiping,thesameinstructionsapplytothelayingofthepipingasalready
described.Thefollowingadditionalnotesshouldbeobserved:
– The minimum internal diameter of 30 mm or 45 mm respectively should be applied over the
wholelengthofthe
piping.
–
UseexclusivelyCupipeorstainlesssteel(min.DIN1.4301).
– Tominimizethecondensateformation(=loss),thesteampipesmustbeinsulated.
– The minimum bend radiusforsolidpipesis4-5 x internal diameter.
– Connectionofthesteampipestothesteamdistributionpipeandsteamhumidieriseffected
bymeansofshortlengthsofsteamhosesecuredwithhoseclamps.Connectiontothesteam
humidierissecuredviaaG2”coupling.
– Important! Allowancemustbemadeforapressure loss of 10 mm water column (approx.
100 Pa) per meter length or per 90° bend.
5.4.6 Installing the condensate hose
Important! Use original Condair condensate hose exclusively. Other types ofhoses can cause
operationalmalfunctions.
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:
Condensatehoseisleddowntothehumidierwithaminimum slope of 20 %,intheformof
a siphon (min. hose bend diameter Ø200 mm ),andinsertedabout2cmintothespecied
opening.
