ElectroVap RTH-LC Safety information IMPORTANT This section should be read carefully to ensure the safe and correct installation of your humidifier GENERAL This manual contains all details necessary for the planning and installation of the ElectroVap RTH humidifier. In addition commissioning and maintenance details are included. The manual is intended for use by engineers and properly trained technical personnel.
ElectroVap RTH-LC Water connection Unit mounting A fresh mains cold water service should be used to supply the unit. The water pressure should be between 1 and 6 bars (15 to 90 psi) & should not exceed 40°C (104°F) in temperature. The water supply connection is under bottom of the unit.
ElectroVap RTH-LC STEAM OUTLET Installation 1.65 ft Use steam hose from our supply. 9.85 ft This steam hose is able to whistand 100°C (212°F) The humidifier should be located within 3m (9.85ft) tof he steam distribution pipe. If the distance from the humidifier is superior to 3m insulated copper or stainless steel tube should be used.
The following drawings show the water draining connections that should be made. 1. The Devatec supplied steam hose should be used : RTH 3 to 15 : 1.0m (39.37 ) Ø 25 mm (1 ) hose with 1 hose clamp.
(absorbing distances) as short as 600 mm. (23.6"). For further reference, please contact Devatec or their authorized agent. ExpressPack Steam distribution selection table Steam distribution pipe for RTH 5 to 20 mm - in.
ElectroVap RTH-V2 Steam pipe positioning Installation Absorbing distance or vapor trail « D » A certain length is required so that the steam coming out of the steam distribution pipe be absorbed by the air. All along this length described as the absorbing distance, the steam can still be seen in the airflow as a mist which can condensate in water against any obstacle if placed within.
