CONDENSATE RECOVERY
1. Independently of the type of application, a certain
amount of condensation will be generated inside the
distribution lance.
This condensation must be discharged so as not to
obstruct the flow of steam. If the lance is positioned
at a point higher than the humidifier and the steam
pipe has no water traps (siphon-like bends) then the
condensate recovery device need not be installed
(e.g. fig. 43).

2. If the lance is positioned at a point higher than the humidifier and the steam pipe does have
siphon-like bends (e.g. fig. 44) it will be necessary to install a condensate recovery device. This
is a special hose that connects to the relevant cylinder manifold and carries the condensate
directly into the humidifier cylinder (fig. 45). The condensate can also be carried to a drain.
Recovery is effected by connecting the special hose (PEGO UMITUBODN10) to the 10 mm
diameter lance manifold. When routing the recovery hose from lance to humidifier or from
lance to drain it is necessary to create a water trap: do this by making a complete turn with a
minimum diameter of 200 mm; the siphon must also be filled with water prior to installation.
This will stop steam from exiting the condensate recovery hose (fig. 44).

3. If the lance is positioned below the humidifier as is generally the case on OEM humidifier
installations the condensate must be recovered by directing it into a drain.
