Pre-Installation Check

Ensure the total capacity of the humidifier is not higher than the allowable maximum steam capacity of
the distributors used.

ASD 10: 22 lbs/hr (8 kg/hr)
ASD: 25 lbs/hr (9 kg/hr)
BSD: 35 lbs/hr (13 kg/hr)
CSD: 115 lbs/hr (45 kg/hr)

Steam Line Installation

 NORTEC steam hose should only be used on short steam runs below 10 feet.
 Ensure that no condensate produced in the steam line will remain trapped. Steam naturally flows

upward and condensate naturally flows downward.

 See material recommended for use in the chart below. To eliminate the metal corrosion, NORTEC

does not recommend the use of steel piping.

 Consult the following pages for step by step distributor installation starting with Figure 1.
 Consult the charts below for steam and condensate sizing guidelines when using steam

distributors.
