5.8 Condensate Hose
Note: When installing the condensate hose, please pay atten-
tion to the following:
Warning: To keep condensate from accumulating in the duct,
make sure condensate can drain freely.
If the steam manifold is positioned higher than 500 mm
above the steam humidifier:
» Remove the condensate plug (12) from the connection
fitting on the cylinde.
» Lay the condensate hose at an approximate incline of
5-10% to the steam cylinder connection fitting, to allow
the condensate to drain freely.
Note: It is recommended to form a loop of 200 mm diameter as
a vapour trap provided there is enough space. Possible operat-
ing noises can be reduced in this manner. The loop should be
filled with water before commissioning.
If the steam manifold is positioned lower than 500 mm
above the steam humidifier:
» The condensate must be drained separately.
» To prevent steam loss, lay a loop at least 200 mm in di-
ameter. The loop should be filled with water before
commissioning.
» To ensure condensate drainage, place the loop (vapor
trap) as far away as possible below the steam manifold
connection.
» The condensate connection on the steam cylinder must
be closed with a sealing cap.
» Place hose clamps at intervals of at least 500 mm, de-
pending on how the hose is laid.
5.9 Types of Installation
If the steam manifold is positioned higher than 500 mm
above the steam humidifier:
» Lay the steam hose at a height of at least 400 mm
above unit and then connect to the steam manifold with
a constant rise or fall.
» Lay condensate hose with a slope to the steam cylin-
der.
