STEAM PIPING
INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS
Steam Piping Installation Instructions
1. Set and anchor dryer in position. Machine should be level to
assure proper steam circulation.
2. To prevent condensate draining from headers to dryer, piping
should have a minimum 12" (305 mm) above respective
header. Do not make steam connection to header with a
horizontal or downwardly facing tee or elbow.
3. Whenever possible, horizontal runs of steam lines must drain,
by gravity, to respective steam header. Water pockets, or an
imporperly drained steam header will provide wet steam,
causing improper operation of dryer. If pockets or improper
drainage cannot be eliminated, install a by-pass trap to drain
condensate from the low point in the steam supply header to
the return.
4. In both steam supply and steam retyrn line, it is recommended
that each have a 3/4" (DN 20) union and 3/4" (DN 20) globe
valve. This will enable you to disconnect the steam
connections and service the dryer while your plant is in
operation.
5. Before connecting trap and check valve to dryer, open globe
valve in steam supply line and allow steam to flow through
dryer to flush out any dirt and scale from dryer. This will
assure proper operation of trap when connected.
6. After flushing system, install bucket trap (with built-in
strainer) and check valve. For successful operation of dryer,
install trap 18" (457 mm) below coil and as near to the dryer
as possible. Inspect trap carefully for inlet and outlet
markings and install according to trap manufacturer's
instructions. If steam is gravity returned to boiler, omit trap
but install check valve in return line near dryer.
7. Install union and globe valve in return line and make final
pipe connections to return header.
