Humidifier with Duct Nozzles - Steam Condensate Disposal

[John_187]

I am working on wall mounted humidifier that supplies a duct spray nozzle. The max flow is 15 lb/hr. Similar to a Carel UE015 (flow is reduced because of the long length). I am wanting to know where to route the condensate from the duct nozzles. It is likely too far from the wall mounted humidifier.

I am hoping to route a lav tailpiece, because even though it is hot, it is practically just dripping. I could also route to to the outdoors and grade via air gap, or even discharge to storm funnel drain. Please help, thanks

The humidifier you are using would ideally have an IOM showing you how to deal with condensate depending on your unique situation

That being said it’s mostly the same basic answer - you have to pitch the steam supply piping in the correct way compared to your setup, and then wherever the condensate drains to you connect a drain pipe to it, spill it to an air gapped collection point - and from there you should run that hot water to a drain temper valve which essentially mixes it with cold water to maintain a discharge temperature below 120 or whatever your municipality requires

Here’s a screenshot from a dristeem humidifier Xt series that I think may be similar to your situation.
