LIVE STEAM HUMIDIFIER - STEAMOSORB To be used with a central steam boiler Installation instructions and user manual Read and save this document steamOvap technologies inc, 9495 Charles de la Tour, Montreal, Qc H4N 1M5, Canada Tel.: 1-844-357-4477 • www.steamOvap.com Rev.190801...
This condensate can be evacuated to drain or pressurized and returned to the boiler in a closed loop circuit with a pressure motive pump option. The intended use of the ILS-SO/SE Live steam humidifier is to condition and distribute steam from water at atmospheric pressure for the air humidification.
Others Risk of flooding. In order to avoid any risk of flooding steamOvap recommends a Hi limit humidity switch installed in the air duct downstream of the steam distribution ramp. Risk of freezing. Plan an anti-freeze protection in case of installation in a location that would be exposed to outside conditions and susceptible of freezing.
2. Verify that model of the humidifier matches the purchase order and that all components are included. 3. Any missing item should be reported as soon as possible to steamOvap or its representative and within 5 business days after receipt.

I L S I O M Installation steps 1. Plan for the positioning of the SOS or SOE in the air duct. Make sure there will be sufficient space downstream for the full absorption of the steam. Prepare 1 or 2 openings in the air duct for the steam connection and for the condensate line. Condensate line can be located below the SOS or SOE header or a line can be returned below end next to the steam inlet.

I L S I O M In case condensate from steamOsorb is directed to the boiler by using a pressure motive pump. A Tee connection should be installed at the outlet of the control valve. It will serve as vent for the pressure motive pump. Please refer to the installation step 6. 3.
I L S I O M Installation steps 1. Install the steam separator upstream of the control valve, as closed as possible from this one. This way the steam supplied to the control valve will be free from condensate. 2. It is a good practice to install unions connection allowing for the isolation and easy dismantling of the different sections of the humidifier steam components.
