Reference the humidifi er schedule to verify which injection tube Cross Support (by system is to be provided. others) See Note #2 See Note #1 Due to the operating weight, PURE Humidifi er Co. does not recommend wall mounting of the models: SXDDR-4R through SXDDR-12R.
However, if the humidifi er and injection tube are located in an area that contains valuable equipment or is a water sensitive area, PURE Humidifi er Co. recommends the addition of a drain pan under the humidifi er and under the injection tube.
The drain piping should be stainless steel. The use of PVC piping is not recommended; the humidifi er temperature will cause the PVC to soften and fail. If gravity drain is not possible please use a condensate pump rated for 212°F water or contact a PURE Humidifi er Co. Representative to purchase one.

Single or Multiple Injection Tube Installation Single or Multiple Injection Tube Installation Single injection tubes should be installed in the center of the duct. Multiple injection tubes should have the tubes staggered within the duct as shown in the illustration. The supply piping and injection tube should be pitched according to the examples on page 13.

Steam Supply Piping PURE recommends stainless tubing or pipe to match the steam outlet diameter connection on the humidi er cover. Stainless has superior corrosion resistance over copper and is less expensive but slightly harder to install. Stainless tubing is preferable over stainless pipe due to the fact that the tubing is less expensive and reduces heat loss/condensate formation during operation.
Blower Pack In applications where a ducted air system is not available, PURE off ers the optional Blower Pack. The Blower Pack contains a two-speed adjustable blower that moves the air over the steam discharge outlet and disperses the steam directly into the space (see Fig.
Page 25
Blower Pack Locating Blower Pack The distance that visible steam will travel after leaving the Blower Pack is dependent upon the relative humidity in the room and the capacity of the humidifi er. If this visible steam comes in contact with any solid object (walls, beams, machinery, etc.) it may form condensate and drip.

SXDDR Pre-Startup Procedure Pre-Startup Checklist Before starting the SXDDR PURE Humidifi er Co. Electric _____ 7. PIPING: High Pressure Steam Inlet - Make sure a Humidifi er, check the following installation items: shut-off is installed before the strainer. Make sure a strainer is installed before control valve(s).
SXDDR Startup Procedure Startup Procedure _____ 1. Turn the electric power “on” to the humidifi er. _____ 11. Check the main steam supply pressure. The pressure should match the factory nameplate. NOTE: Do not _____ 2. RH Setpoint on the touchscreen should be set to exceed the factory nameplate pressure rating! See warning 0.0% RH (no call for humidity).
Troubleshooting • Verify humidifi er and accessories are installed according to Operation and Maintenance manuals. • Please read all Operation and Maintenance manuals to familiarize yourself with the equipment. • A job specifi c wiring diagram can be located inside the control panel door. Problem Possible Cause Recommended Action...
However, the humidifi er should be inspected and place on a dedicated maintenance schedule to ensure continued operation of the humidifi er and its accessories. PURE Humidifi er Co. recommends that the following items be inspected, and/ or, cleaned on a minimum basis of twice a year. If excessive mineral build-up occurs, the maintenance schedule should be increased.
Exchanger Gasket Replacement Instructions WARNING Disconnect the humidifi er power, gas, exhaust system and allow the humidifi er to cool prior to servicing. Drain water level below the level of the exchanger being serviced. Heat exchangers have a top and bottom. There is a break (crease) on the bottom side of the heat exchanger.
Cover Gasket Replacement Instructions Remove the reservoir cover. While looking at the top of the unit, reference Figure A and B to determine which humidi er tank style you have. Figure A Installation Fit the gasket around the entire lip of the tank opening. Cut the gasket ¹ ” longer than required, this will ensure proper t when the cover is clamped back on.
