7 - CONNECTIONS
■ Precautions:
- Keep a spare set of filters in a clean, dry place.
Filters are regulated components. Comply with the regulations, directives and standards in force at the installation
site.
7.9 - Standalone steam humidifier
■ This section only covers the connection of the steam diffusion rails.
■ Follow the instructions in the manufacturer's manual supplied with the unit when installing the hydraulic and electrical connections
on the standalone steam production unit.
7.9.1 - Condensate drain pan connection
■ Refer to your dimensional drawing for the diameters of the connections and their positions.
■ Outlet on the front panel under the rails: threaded gas type steel connector.
■ Fitting the siphon (see § 7.1 "Condensate drainage siphons").
7.9.2 - Connecting the steam and condensate hoses:
■ The air handling units are supplied with diffusion rails installed inside the unit.
■ Depending on their length, the ends of these rails rest on supports. Make sure the supports are in place. To add rails to the unit at a
later date, please contact your agency, who will provide you with the relevant materials.
■ Connect these rails to the production unit.
■ The connection is accessible from the outside on the utilities side of the front panel (unless requested otherwise).

■ Only use the hoses supplied with the unit, and cut them to size if necessary to facilitate installation (max. 4 m long)
■ Secure the ends of the hose to the standalone unit and the diffusion rails using metal clamps.
■ It is recommended to strictly adhere to the following rules:
- Avoid excessively tight curves in the pipes to prevent kinks or bottlenecks.
- If the manifold is higher than the humidifier, ensure a uniform slope of at least 20% towards the humidifier to transfer the recondensed
steam to the cylinder.
- If the difference between the two heights is not sufficient to achieve this, or if the manifold is lower than the steam cylinder
connector, fit the pipe high enough to be able to route it back down to the manifold, keeping the slope uniform at 5% or more.
- Do not create pockets where condensation can accumulate between the steam cylinder and the manifold.
- Make sure the slope is as indicated.
- The condensation drain pipe should enable the creation of a siphon to prevent the return of condensate.
- The condensation pipe, one end of which is connected to the steam manifold, should transfer the condensed steam to the base
pan, provided this is lower than the manifold or the drainage system.
