3.4 Condensate drain hose
During the operation of the humidi er some of the steam may condense,
causing a decline in e ciency and noise (gurgling).
To drain the condensate, connect a drain hose with a drain trap and a
minimum slope of 5° to the bottom of the humidi er (see Fig. 3.d). CAREL
condensate drain hoses: code 1312353APG
Important
Important: the drain trap in the condensate drain hose the
humidi er must be  lled with water before starting.

condensate drain hose:

Veri che  nali
the steam outlet hoses run upwards and the distributor has a
minimum incline of 2° upwards (see Fig. 3.c);
the ends of the hose are tightened to the  ttings with metal clamps;
the curves in the tubing are su ciently wide (radius > 300 mm) so as
to not cause bending or choking;
the steam hose has no pockets or traps for condensate to form;
the paths of the steam and condensate hoses are as described in this
chapter (see Fig. 3.d);
the length of the steam hose is no greater than 4 metres;
the incline of the steam hose is su cient to allow correct draining of
the condensate (> 20° for the upward sections, > 5° for the downward
sections);
the incline of the condensate hose is at least 5° at every point;
the condensate hose always follows a downwards path and features a
drain trap ( lled with water before starting operation) to avoid steam
being released.
