VII. STARTING THE HUMIDIFIER
Start-Up Procedure
Once the Herricane system is properly installed and connected to a steam source, condensate drains, and controls, the
following sequence of events should be used to activate the humidifier.
1. Turn all humidistats to the “off” position
2. Open the steam supply valve and allow the supply trap to warm up and drain away condensate from supply piping.
3. Set desired relative humidity on the high limit humidistat(s). Recommended setting is 80%.
4. Turn the control humidistat to allow the humidifier to begin operating.
5. After the humidifier has run for a period of time, turn the control humidistat off so that the humidifier control valve closes.
Then close the steam supply valve to the humidifier.
6. Remove the strainer screen from the inlet strainer and clean. Check the steam traps to insure they are also clean.
7. Test all humidistats and air flow switches to insure they are operating properly.
8. Reset control device to the desired set point.
VIII. MAINTENANCE GUIDE
Steam Distribution System
All models of the CS Series Steam Distribution System are maintenance free. If the steam supply is dirty, it may be necessary
to wipe down the external surfaces of the distribution manifolds. If any steam nozzles clog, use a #67 drill bit to clean the
nozzle.
Strainers
Once a year, check the strainer for proper operation. Open a valve or plug on the exhaust port for self-cleaning.
Traps
Once a year, check for proper operation. All the working parts on the traps are accessible without removing the trap from the
system piping. The F&T traps have a clean-out plug at the bottom of the trap body for easy flushing.
