Introduction

CAUTION: Servicing

• Disconnect main power before any servicing.
• The plumbing and electrical compartments contain high voltage components and wiring. Access should be limited to authorized personnel only.
• During and following operation of the humidifier, the steam and components in contact with the steam such as the blower pack, steam lines, steam distributors, and condensate lines can become hot and can burn if touched.
• Condair does not accept any liability for installations of humidity equipment installed by unqualified personnel or the use of parts/components/equipment that are not authorized or approved by Condair.

CAUTION: Electrical

• All electrical work should be done according to local and national electrical code.
• Electrical connection to be performed by a licensed electrician.

CAUTION: Plumbing

• Plumbing to be performed by a licensed plumber.
• Drain water from humidifier can be very hot. Do not drain to public sink.
• All plumbing work should be done according to local plumbing code.

CAUTION: Installation

• Do not mount on hot surfaces.
• Do not mount in area where freezing can occur.
• Do not mount on vibrating surface.
• Do not mount on floor.
• Humidifiers produce steam at atmospheric pressure no devices which could block steam output should be connected to the steam outlet.
• Steam lines must be installed so that no restriction can produce backpressure in the humidifier.
• Regardless of selecting on/off or modulating control method, Condair humidifiers must have a closed circuit across its on/off security loop control terminal to operate. Condair highly recommends the use of a duct high limit humidistat.

Installation

Receiving and Unpacking Equipment

1. Check packing slip to ensure all material has been delivered.
2. All material shortages are to be reported to Condair within 48 hours from receipt of goods. Condair assumes no responsibility for any material shortages beyond this period.
3. Inspect shipping boxes for damage and note on shipping waybill accordingly.
4. After unpacking, inspect equipment for damage and if damage is found, notify the shipper promptly.
5. All Condair products are shipped on an f.o.b. factory basis. Any and all damage, breakage or loss claims are to be made directly to the shipping company.
6. Each distributor is provided with: installation manual, one hose cuff, and two hose clamps.

Pre-installation Check

1. Ensure the total capacity of the humidifier is not higher than the allowable maximum steam capacity of the distributors used.
   ASD/RSD 10: 22 lbs/hr (10 kg/hr)
   ASD: 25 lbs/hr (11.3 kg/hr)
   BSD: 35 lbs/hr (15.9 kg/hr)
   CSD: 115 lbs/hr (52.5 kg/hr)
   SSD: 10 lbs/hr (4.5 kg/hr)

Steam Line Installation

1. Condair steam hose should only be used on short steam runs below 10 feet.
2. Ensure that no condensate produced in the steam line will remain trapped. Steam naturally flows upward and condensate naturally flows downward.
3. See material recommended for use in the chart below. To eliminate the metal corrosion, Condair does not recommend the use of steel piping.
4. Consult the following pages for step by step distributor installation starting with figure 1.
5. Consult the charts below for steam and condensate sizing guidelines when using steam distributors.

| Steam Hose| Copper Tube| Stainless Steel Tube
---|---|---|---

| 1/2” med-l tubing (7/8” o.d.)| 5/8” tube 0.049” thick

Please note that options shown in a bold-italic font requires that reducers be used at both ends. These extra large sizes are to allow for better condensation removal in long steam runs. These sizes cannot be connected to either the humidifier or distributor using the supplied hose coupling

Condensate Return Guidelines For Main Steam Lines

1. Use vertical condensate leg of distributor only. Do not over-tighten clamp.
2. Condensate traps on steam mains must be located at all low points in the system, at each elevation change and or directional change.
3. Horizontal runs of steam must rise 2” per foot (10º) when flow is going upwards away from condensate trap, and fall ½” per foot (2º) when flow is going downwards towards a condensate trap.
4. In a horizontal run of the steam main, condensate traps must be located at regular intervals of 20 feet.
5. The condensate trap itself is a section of piping connected to the bottom of the main. A full size tee must be used to create a condensate trap to allow the condensate to fall away from the steam flow.
6. Vertical drop of the condensate trap should be 1.5 times the diameter of the steam main but no less than 12”.
7. A p-trap should be installed at the bottom of the condensate trap. The center to center trap height should be 2” greater than duct static pressure (see Figure 1).
8. All distributors must be individually trapped.

Always align distributor holes so that steam is discharged upwards to ensure condensate will remain in the distributor.

SSD distributors can only be installed with upward airflow in vertical duct applications. Refer to C2.

C2 Always align distributor holes so that steam is discharged upwards to ensure condensate will remain in the distributor.

Figure 8: Vertical Airflow

• SSD distributors can only be installed with upward airflow in vertical duct applications.

Warning

• These installation guidelines apply for duct velocities under 2000 ft/min (610 m/min), please consult factory for higher velocities.
• Please make sure no obstacles (elbow, filter, or diffuser) are located after the distributor in the direction of the airflow closer than the absorption distance calculated for your application.
• Unless the exact absorption distance required for the steam absorption into the air stream is known, the distributor should be located at least 8-10 ft (2-m) away from any obstacle it may condense on (elbow, diffuser, filter, etc.)
