Part 1 General
A. Scope 

  1. Furnish a system of humidification indicated on the drawings completed with: 
    Steam Distribution System
    Inlet Strainer (optional)
    Supply Trap (optional)
    Steam Valve and Actuator (optional)
    Manifold Traps (optional)
  2. Control - Control Humidistat, Limit Humidistat, Air Proving Device (all recommended)(optional) 
  3. Operation of the system shall be controlled automatically to maintain ___% RH at ___degrees F with a tolerance of +/-___% RH. 
  4. Warranty system for a period of one (1) year from date of beneficial use of the owner. Distribution system shall be warranted for a period of three (3) years. 
  5. Provide owners manual to cover installation, startup, operating and maintenance. 
  6. The manufacture shall guarantee the performance of the system in writing based on design air volume, temperature, downstream RH, and capacity. Performance is defined as "bulk" and "last wisp" evaporation and laminar airflow.

Part 2 Product
A. Distribution System 

  1. Provide steam distribution system constructed entirely of stainless steel. Dissimilar materials are not acceptable. 
  2. All welding to be done in accordance with ASME Section IX. 
  3. Steam distribution system shall be pressure tested with steam at operating pressure or greater, at the factory prior to shipment. 
  4. Entering steam will be forced to take two 90 degree turns before reaching the distribution system (pressure systems only). 
  5. The manifold shall be equipped with stainless steel nozzles, press fitted into the stainless steel manifold. The output of the nozzle is limited to a maximum of 5 lbs/hr. Exact capacity of nozzles to be determined based on required evaporative distance and design psychometric conditions. Nozzles extend into the center of the manifold to allow only the driest, hottest steam to be allowed to enter the airstream. Nozzles must be identical output for entire distribution manifold. Manifolds with holes or orifices only are not acceptable. 
  6. Multiple manifold system shall have header and distribution tubes constructed as a system: all joints shall be welded - slip joints and "o" rings are not acceptable. 
  7. Distribution manifold shall be unjacketed and allowed to cool to surrounding temperature when there is no requirement for humidity. Jacketed manifolds with insulation (extra airflow resistance) or isolation valve (cracking welds) are not acceptable. 
  8. Distribution manifold design feature provisions for manifold trap(s). This trap, which can be either a thermostatic or float and thermostatic trap (a "P-Trap" will work with self-generating systems), allows any condensate formed to exit without entering the airstream. 
  9. Steam valve, actuator, traps and strainer to be based on parameters of the application. 
  10. Temperature interlock switch is not required. Any condensate formed within the manifold will be drained out of the manifold trap.

Part 3 Execution
A. General

  1. Install system(s) as detailed on the drawings and/or as recommended by the manufacturer. Shop drawings shall be provided by the manufacturer.
  2. Manufacturer's representative shall provide analysis, design, and startup support of the custom engineered humidification system(s). 
  3. It shall be the responsibility of the installing contractor to furnish necessary control provisions, wiring, and plumbing as indicated in the manufacturer's specifications and the appropriate schedules. All wiring shall be in accordance with applicable sections of electrical specifications and local codes.
