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.
Note: For steam capacities ≤20kg/htheseparatereturnofthecondensateviathecondensation
hosecanbedispensedwith.Thespecialinstructionsforhosepositioninginthe“Steamdistribution

abovethetopedgeofthehumidierandthendowntothesteamdistributionpipewithaminimum
slope of 5 %.

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
supplier. In any case, steam hoses longer than 4 m must be insulated in their entire length.
