Type 20 and Type 40

Direct Steam Injection (SI) Humidifiers
Description
Spirax Sarco direct steam injection (SI) humidifiers are designed to inject dry steam into a ducted air system in such a manner as to
ensure efficient mixing of the steam and air, and to raise the moisture content of the air stream with no condensate carryover.

Available types
The SI systems are available in two versions - Type 20 and Type 40. For each version there are a range of 13 standard length lances
to cover duct widths from 280 mm to 3 950 mm. The selection is dependent upon the steam humidification load.

Control valves and actuators

Standard options for Spirax Sarco valves and electric actuators are given in the selection table (see page 2). The unit may be supplied
without a valve and/or actuator. Spirax Sarco offer a wide range of other makes that are available to order.

Standard control options

- Pneumatic 0.2 - 1.0 bar
- Electric Valve motor drive 230 V, 100/110 V or 24 V

- Electronic 0 -10 V dc or 4-20 mA

Separator body design conditions PN6

Maximum operating pressure 4 bar g

Maximum operating temperature 150 °C

Maximum recommended tracer circuit operating pressure 4 bar g

Minimum recommended tracer circuit operating pressure 1 bar g

Note: The assembly can be operated down to 0.35 bar g

Assembly
When Spirax Sarco supply a valve as part of the product, the valve and separator will be assembled. Where requested, actuators
can be fitted to the valve, and commissioned to the specific control signal. Where no valve is ordered, the ancillary pipe fittings
(see TI-P795-01) will be supplied connected to the separator.
Each lance and separator are supplied with 2 x 8 mm O/D tube compression fittings (5).
The separator drain connection 'Q' should be fitted with a Spirax Sarco float trap (13) with automatic air vent. This will ensure that the
separator is kept free of condensate at all times. The tracer heating system should be drained by a Spirax Sarco balanced pressure
MST21 trap with 'E' fill, (10). These traps must be ordered specifically.

Installation
Spirax Sarco Steam humidifiers are designed to provide and deliver dry steam into the installation, and with minimum noise. This can
only be achieved if the total installation is correct. Full Installation and Maintenance Instructions are provided with each unit.
