23 | Nortec SAM-e Installation
Pressurized Plumbing without External Separator
Note: The Nortec SAM-e header functions as a steam separator, therefore an external
steam separator is not required.
• Steam components in grey provided by Condair.
• Tap steam from top of pressurize steam main to avoid excess condensate.
• Condensate from
Nortec SAM-e to be returned to atmospheric floor drain.
When pressurized steam enters Nortec SAM-e, pressure drops down to almost atmospheric
pressure. Therefore, it must be drained atmospherically, and the use of a condensate pump (rated
for 212ºF) must be used to raise condensate to a higher elevation.
