Assembly information
Where Spirax Sarco supply the steam control equipment, the separator and valve would be dispatched assembled. Alternatively, the separator, valve and actuator can be dispatched fully assembled when requested, to simplify final installation.
Actuators can be pre-commissioned if the control signal is known. When the steam control is not part of the humidifier order, the piping components will be supplied partly assembled to the separator, for final assembly by the installer.
The separator and each lance are supplied with 2 x 8 mm O / D tube compression fittings (5): 1 for the tracer supply take-off from the top
of the separator, 1 each for the inlet and outlet connections
for the lance heating circuit and 1 for the inlet to the tracer drain trap (10).
A Spirax Sarco balanced pressure thermostatic trap (10) type %" MST21 (E) should be used for this application.
The preheater in the lance can be supplied with steam direct from the separator at the using steam pressure as shown, or alternatively from an independent source up to a maximum of 4 bar g.
The separator drain (Q) should be fitted with a Spirax Sarco float trap (with automatic air vent) to continuously discharge collected condensate.
Typical specification
The humidifier shall be a Spirax Sarco S.I. type of the direct steam injection design, having a stainless steel twin section separator with internal cyclonic and baffle moisture separation to provide dry saturated steam.
The injection lance in stainless steel shall be steam preheated, and utilise stainless steel nozzles.
The control valve shall be a Spirax Sarco
2-port valve with a spring reserve electric actuator
suitable for a 24 Vac supply.
