Condair Mk5 - Installing the Condensate Hose

28
– 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.
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 42 mmshouldbeappliedoverthewholelengthofthepip-
ing.
– UseexclusivelyCupipe(operationwithuntreateddrinkingwater)orstainlesssteel(min.DIN1.4301,
operationwithfullydemineralizedwater).
– Tominimizethecondensateformation(=loss),thesteampipesmustbeinsulated.
– The minimum bend radius for rigid piping is 100 mm.
– 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11/4”coupling.
– Important! Allowancemustbemadeforapressure loss of 10 mm water column (approx. 100 Pa)
per meter line length or per 90° angle.
5.3.4 Installing the condensate hose
Important!UseoriginalCondaircondensatehoseexclusively.Othertypesofhosescancauseopera-
tional 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 radius Ø200 mm ),andinsertedabout2cmintothespeciedopening.
