    1. HOW THE ULTIMATESAM WORKS The ultimateSAM Direct Steam Humidification System is designed to For pressurized supply systems, steam enters the ultimateSAM distributor distribute a uniform blanket of dry steam into a duct or air handling unit. from a control valve and immediately drops to nearly atmospheric pressure. When properly configured, the ultimateSAM system can accommodate In this way, there is no further steam expansion and, consequently, less steam from either an atmospheric or pressurized steam supply system.

    4.1 Steam capacities Note: These capacities are based on using the distributor with a pressurized steam supply. If the steam source is an atmospheric After selecting a distributor width that most closely fits the duct size, the humidifier, the steam capacities may need to be de-rated. The de-rating steam capacity of the distributor must be compared to the humidification is associated with limiting the maximum backpressure generated by load needed for the application.

    Example SA0: application with an SA0FALI0*0 distributor: 1200 operation of atmospheric humidifiers. For example, the maximum 1000 backpressure acting on the outlet of Carel atmospheric humidifiers is: • relative humidity upstream of the distributor RHb: 24%@25°C [77°F] • UEX: 1300-2000 Pa (5-8 in H O), varies with model size •...

    7. SELECTION OF TRAP, STRAINER, AND SEPARATOR KITS Traps, strainers, and drains are integral elements of any atmospheric and pressurized steam system. An inlet trap prevents condensate generated during initial start-up and normal operation from entering the ultimateSAM distributor or control valve. An inlet strainer removes pipeline debris, such as scale, rust, and other solids, which may find its way into the pipeline system.
