Steam Distribution
Blower Version (6000-1,2)
The 6000 Series Steam Humidifier with the built in blower pack should be mounted a minimum of 18” from the ceiling. There should also be 5' of horizontal clearance in front of the unit to prevent stem from condensing on obstructions (See Figure 1). There is an adjustable louver to adjust the direction of the steam plume.
WARNING!
Do not adjust this louver to extreme angles as it will restrict the airflow causing condensation to form around the steam distribution manifold.
WARNING!
Locate away from areas where people can walk into steam path.

DUCTED VERSION (6000-3,4)
Herrmidifier supplies a stainless steel duct distributor for injecting pure steam into the duct. This can be installed in the bottom or the side of the duct (See Figure 5). When installing in the side of the ductwork make sure it is positioned to allow condensate to drain back down the steam hose. The duct distributor pipe has a built in pitch to allow condensate to drain back into the hose. The hose must be installed with a minimum 8% (1” per foot) pitch back to the humidifier to allow condensate to drain back to the steam cylinder (See Figures 5 & 6). A minimum of 5 feet downstream clearance before any bends or obstructions is recommended for most applications (See Figure 2). However, different psychrometric conditions may require greater or lesser steam absorption distances. A minimum duct temperature of 60 degrees F is recommended. Temperatures below this may cause condensation to form in the duct. Lined duct may be used if the thickness is 1” or less.
