5.2.1 Humidierlocation
The positioning of the Condair GS is largely dependent on the location of installation of the steam
distributionpipe(seeChapter5.3.1)andonthedetailsoftheuegaspipe(seeChapter5.6)andthe
air supply line (RS units only, see Chapter 5.7). To ensure proper functioning of the steam humidi-
erandtoobtainoptimumefciency,thefollowingpointsmustbeconsideredandobservedwhen
choosingthelocationforthesteamhumidier:
– thelocalandnationalregulationsforinstallationofgasredequipmentmustbeobservedand
followed.Themanufactureracceptsnoliabilityfornon-compliancewiththeseregulations.
– Installthesteamhumidiersothat:
– thelengthofthesteamhoseisasshortaspossible(ideally2m,max.4m),theminimum
bendradius(R=300mm)andtheminimumupslope(20%)andtheminimumdownslope(5
%) of the steam hose can be maintained (see Chapter 5.3.2).
Note:Longsteamlinesreducethemaximumsteamoutputofthehumidier,duetotheheat
loss involved. The static pressure also increases.
– theuegaspipecanbeinstalledinaccordancewiththeapplicablelocalbuildingandinstal-
lation regulations.
– in the case of room air-independent units (RS units) the installation location can be reached
withanairsupplylineandgoodaccessibilityisassured.
– Inthecaseofroomair-dependentunitscaremustbetakentoprovideanadequateintakeofair
(inaccordancewithlocalbuildingregulations).
