7 Steam connection
7.1 Connecting the steam
Note!
The steam supply must be cut off and must not be under pressure.
• The branch pipe’s must be located at the top of the main steam pipe to prevent condensation in the steam.
• The branch pipe must have a descending gradient and must end at a height above the inlet connecting branch (5).
• Mount a plug valve (a) and a dirt collector (c) in the branch pipe.
fig.7194
Attach the pressure hoses to the machines inlet and outlet connecting branches. It is important to support the inlet
and the outlet connecting branches in order to prevent deformation.
The pressure hoses must not hang down.
fig.7195
Condensate return
It is important that the branch pipe for condensed water on return to the main condensate pipe has a descending gra-
dient and is lower than the outlet connecting branch (6).
• Mount a dirt collector (b) in the return pipe.
• Mount a mechanical water discharger after the dirt collector (c).
• Mount a plug valve (a).
• Mount pressure hoses between the branch pipes and the machine. Note that hoses are not supplied.
Pipe insulation
All pipes must be insulated in order to reduce risk of burning. Insulation also reduces loss of heat to the surroundings.
When ready
• Leak test the system.
• Clean the dirt collectors.
