2. Preparing for assembly
The blower must be mounted or on the wall and connected to the humidifier via the steam hose.
The maximum length of the steam hose is 4 m.
Note: observe the minimum distances shown in the following figures to prevent the flow of
humidified air from coming into contact with people, electrical equipment, false-ceilings and cold
surfaces before the steam is totally absorbed by the atmosphere.

2.1
Requirements
2.1.1 Steam hose
Follow these instructions when installing the steam hose:
lonly use hoses supplied by CAREL; hoses made from other materials may adversely affect operation of
the system;
lthe steam hose must be secured by supports (clamps, brackets) so that it does not bend and does not
weigh on the humidifier. A hot hose is more likely to bend;
lthe minimum radius of curvature of the steam hose is 5 times the inside diameter;
lthe steam hose must have a minimum slope in order to drain condensate back to the humidifier; in
any case, always install a condensate drain at the lowest point on the steam hose;
lminimise the length of the steam hose so as to reduce heat loss. Avoid the formation of pockets or
traps where condensate may accumulate;
lchoking (due to bends or twisting of the hose) can cause excessive back-pressure in the humidifier
cylinder when the unit is operating and consequently sudden steam outlet.
Important:
ldo not install a stop valve in the steam hose;
lwhen installation is complete, flush the steam line to remove any contaminants and processing
