a.The presence of condensate in the steam supply will cause water hammer and subsequent heat exchanger (steam coil failure). The steam supply connection into the main supply line must be made with a minimum
b.The steam supply piping to the dryer must include a
c.Flexible hoses or couplings must be used. The dryer vibrates slightly when it runs and this will cause the steam coil connections to crack if they are hard piped to the supply and return mains.
d.
e.Install an inverted bucket steam trap which will pass 2,700 lbs/hr (1224.69 kg/hr) at 125 psi (8.6 bars) and a check valve at least
f.The supply line and the return line should be insulated. This will save energy and provide for the safety of the operator and maintenance personnel.
g.Water pockets in the supply line, caused by low points, will provide wet steam to the coil possibly causing steam coil damage. ALL horizontal runs of steam supply piping should be pitched
