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.
In addition, a drain must be installed on the ultimateSAM distributor to
remove condensate that forms inside the system.
Figures 7.a and 7.b are examples of the basic components needed for a
pressurized steam system. For serviceability and functionality, the system
may require additional items not shown, such as shut-off valves and
additional piping.

In the case where the ultimateSAM is connected directly to a humidifier,
(Fig.7.c), the steam trap may not be necessary if the installation allows the
condensation from inside the pipe to flow back to the humidifier. In the case
this is not possible, it is necessary to also provide a discharger for the system
connected to a humidifier in order to avoid the entrance of condensation in
the distributor.

Note: The adapters and steam hoses shown above are available as
options. The "P" drains are not provided as part of the ultimateSAM
system. The system for identifying trap, strainer, and separator accessories is
shown in Table 7.a.
Note: Not all of the possible combinations shown on the table are
available. A complete list of available kits, as well as information on
other features, is provided in Section 7.1.
