SAM-e with Pressure Steam
Pressurized Plumbing with External Separator
• Steam components in grey 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 SAM-e, 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 condensate to a higher elevation.
