5.2.1 Humidier location
Theinstallationsiteofthesteamhumidierdependslargelyonthelocationofthesteamdistribution
pipeorfanunit(seechapter5.3.1and5.3.2),respectively.Toensureproperfunctioningofthesteam
humidierandtoobtainanoptimalefciency,thefollowingpointsmustbeconsideredandobserved
whenchoosingthelocationforthesteamhumidier:
– Installthesteamhumidiersothatthelength of the steam hose is kept as short as possible
(max. 4 m) and that the minimum bend radius (R= 300 mm) and up-slope (20 %) or down-slope
(5 %)ofthesteamhoseisobserved(seechapter5.3.3).
– ThesteamhumidiersCondairMk5aredesignedforwall-mounting.Makesurethattheconstruc-
tion(wall,pillar,oor-mountedconsole,etc.)towhichthehumidiersaretobemounted,offersa
