Humidifi er Piping
Step 3. Run the steam supply line from the steam
header to the humidifi er as indicated in Fig. 2-1. Observe
the following:
A.
Take steam supply line from the top of the supply
main – never from the side or bottom. If several
humidifi ers take steam from a single supply line,
be sure to trap the end of the run-out with an Arm-
strong Trap of suitable size. If the steam supply is
very wet, install a drip pocket or separator ahead
of the humidifi er.
B.
Size supply line in accordance with Table 2-1. If
the steam supply is 5 psi or less, it is advisable to
use one pipe size larger and reduce the pipe size
just ahead of the strainer and humidifi er.
C. Pitch the supply line in the direction of fl ow.

D. Expansion and Contraction. With average length
of supply line, the dimension change from hot to
cold should not exceed 2". Provide piping with 3
elbows to get swing to take care of expansion and
contraction (See Fig. 2-2).
E.
Clean piping. After running the supply line, blow
down at full steam pressure to eliminate dirt and
pipe cuttings.
F.
A Pipe Strainer is furnished with each humidifi er.
Install (after blowing down supply line) as indi-
cated on drawing.
G. Swivel connections may be desirable – see
Fig. 2-2 and explanatory captions.
H. Pressure Reducing Valve. If required refer to
Fig. 3-1 and explanatory captions.
