Steam Requirements

Piping Recommendations

Trap each steam coil individually. Always keep the trap clean and in good working condition.

When tumbler is on the end of a line of equipment, extend header at least 4 feet (1.2 m) beyond tumbler. Install shut-off valve, union, check valve and bypass trap at end of line. If gravity return to boiler, omit trap.

Insulate steam supply and return lines for safety of operator and safety while servicing tumbler.

Keep tumbler in good working condition. Repair or replace any worn or defective parts.

WARNING

All system components must have a 125 psig (8.6 bar) working pressure. Shut-off valves must be installed upstream of the steam solenoid valve and downstream of each steam trap so components can be isolated for maintenance or emergency purposes.

All components (solenoid valve, traps) must be supported to minimize loads on the tumbler steam coil connections.

Installing Steam Trap and Making Condensate Return Connections

The steam trap must be installed and the coil outlet connections must be connected to the condensate return lines. The following steps outline the procedure for installing the steam trap and connecting the condensate return lines. Refer to Figure 23 for typical installations.

1.Use flexible lines between steam inlet solenoid and steam coils, as well as outlet between steam coil and traps.

2.If necessary, install a strainer at the end of each flexible hose.

3.Install a steam trap to each strainer.

IMPORTANT: Steam trap must be installed a minimum of 18 inches (457 mm) below the steam coil outlet connections.

4.Install a shut-off valve to each steam trap.

5.Connect to the condensate return lines.

6.For steam solenoid valve wiring connections, refer to Wiring Diagram supplied with tumbler.

WARNING

The flexible steam hoses connecting the coil outlet connections and steam traps must have a minimum of 125 psig (pounds per square inch gauge) (8.79 kg/ sq. cm.) working pressure. A shut-off valve must be installed downstream from each steam trap so the condensate return line can be isolated in event a steam trap requires maintenance.

Each steam trap must be supported so minimum load is exerted on the coil outlet connection.

Thermal Oil Prep

It is the responsibility of the customer to install appropriate coil and heating system for thermal oil prep models. Alliance Laundry Systems, LLC. is not responsible for the performance or safety of the customer installed thermal oil system. To ensure proper operation, refer to the Specifications and Dimensions section for the BTU input of equivalent steam models. Thermal oil systems that do not deliver appropriate BTUs will dry slower. For solenoid valve wiring connections, refer to the Wiring Diagram supplied with tumbler.
