• Steam components in grey are provided by Nortec.
• Tap steam from top of pressurize steam main to avoid excess condensate.
• Condensate from separator to be returned to pressurized condensate main.
• Condensate from SAM-e to be returned to atmospheric floor drain.
When pressurized steam enters the SAM-e, the pressure drops down to almost atmospheric
pressure. Therefore, it must be drained atmospherically, and the use of a condensate pump
(rated for 212ºF) must be used to raise the condensate to a higher elevation.
