CONDENSATE RETURN GUIDELINES FOR

MAIN STEAM LINES

1.Use vertical condensate leg of distributor only. Do not over-tighten clamp.

2.Drip stations on steam mains must be located at all low points in the system, at each elevation change and or directional change.

3.Horizontal runs of steam must have a 2” rise per foot (10º) when flow is going upwards from drip station and the steam run is to fall ½” per foot (2º) when flow is going downwards to drip station.

4.In a horizontal run of the steam main, drip stations must be located at regular intervals of 20 feet.

5.The drip station itself is a section of piping connected to the bottom of the main. A full size tee must be used to create a drip station to allow the condensate to fall in the drip station.

6.Vertical drop of the drip station should be 1.5 times the diameter of the steam main but no less then 12”.

7.At the bottom of this drip station is where the “p-trap” is installed. It is to be 2” larger then the duct static duct pressure.

8.All distributors must be individually trapped.

BSD, CSD, ASD specifications

Nortec, a leader in the field of industrial cooling technologies, offers a range of solutions focused on the delivery of thermal comfort and efficient climate control. Their offerings include the CSD, BSD, and ASD systems, each tailored to meet diverse operational needs within various spaces.

The CSD (Chilled Water Series) units are designed for high-capacity cooling applications. They are ideal for large-scale environments, such as commercial buildings, hospitals, and data centers. One of the main features of the CSD units is their modular design, allowing for easy scalability. This flexibility makes it possible to customize configurations based on specific thermal demands. Equipped with high-efficiency compressors and advanced heat exchangers, the CSD series ensures optimal energy performance while minimizing operational costs. The inclusion of intelligent controls further enhances their performance by enabling precise temperature management and diagnostics.

Moving on to the BSD (Breeze Series), these units are known for their compact design and quiet operation. Ideal for residential and small commercial applications, BSD units provide a perfect balance of performance and energy efficiency. One distinctive characteristic is their ability to operate in low and high ambient temperatures, which expands their usability across various climates. The BSD units also use environmentally friendly refrigerants, aligning with the growing demand for sustainable cooling solutions. Additionally, they feature an easy-to-navigate control interface, allowing users to set their desired comfort levels effortlessly.

The ASD (Advanced Series Ducted) stands out for its versatility in handling air distribution in various building types. These ducted systems accommodate both heating and cooling, offering an all-in-one solution for indoor climate control. Their main features include high static pressure capability, which ensures efficient air delivery even over long duct runs. The ASD systems utilize variable speed fans that adapt airflow based on real-time demand, contributing to energy savings. Furthermore, integration with smart building technologies is a key characteristic, enabling seamless control and monitoring via IoT applications.

In conclusion, Nortec’s CSD, BSD, and ASD systems exemplify advanced technologies and innovative designs tailored to meet the broad spectrum of cooling and heating needs in different environments. By focusing on efficiency, flexibility, and user-friendliness, Nortec solidifies its status as a key player in the climate control sector.
