10. REMOTE MOUNT BLOWER (RMB) UNIT (OPTIONAL)

10.1 Available Remote Blower (RMB) Models

CGF #RMB35R / GFI #7660 - 230VAC 1~ for use with DS25 and DS25LC

10.2 Components Included in the RMB Unit

The RMB unit consists of:

Housing (includes the fan and distributor);

Grille (includes the small intake filter);

9’ of 3/8” ID condensate hose;

3/8” x 3/8” barbed hose fitting;

Small hose clamp.

10.3 Operation

When a demand for humidity is made, the Elite Steam Humidifier will start. The control module will recognize the demand

for steam by supplying power to the steam cylinder and the RMB blower. The RMB Blower will run and distribute steam

into the room. The RMB grill is designed to blow steam outward and slightly down to avoid condensation on the ceiling.

A cleanable filter is located behind the air intake grill to protect the RMB from large particles. When the demand for

humidification ends, power to the steam cylinder is stopped. The blower continues to run for 30 seconds to distribute

any remaining steam.

10.4 Choosing a Location

Locate the RMB on a wall in the largest open area space to be humidified, allowing humidity to migrate from largest

space to smallest space. Do not install the RMB in small, confined rooms or hallways. Keep the steam hose length to a

minimum. The RMB must be mounted above the Elite Steam Humidifier since the RMB will create condensate that

must drain back to the humidifier by gravity. Remote wall blowers may only be installed in a vertical wall distributing

steam horizontally. See Figure 10.a.

NOTES (See Figure 10.a.):

1. The RMB must be installed in the wall and connected to the humidifier with the steam hose supplied.

2. The RMB must be mounted at least 15 inches above the humidifier to achieve 30 degree min slope and avoid

condensation/gurgling.

3. Avoid undrained pockets and traps in the hoses. Condensate will accumulate in low areas and prevent steam

movement. The steam hose must not have sharp bends or twists.

4. The dimensions in Figure 10.b. are minimum distances to prevent the humidified air from coming in contact with

people, electrical equipment, ceilings and cold surfaces before the steam has been completely absorbed.

Choose the location with care as the steam is hot and can cause burns.

5. Maximum total length of rubber steam hose is 3.65 m (12 feet). The maximum total length of insulated copper

tubing may be up to 6m (20 feet). The maximum combined allowed length of steam hose and insulated copper

tubing is 9.75m. In all cases, minimize sharp bends and elbows. Use 2 - 45° elbows instead of 90° elbows.

Hose inner diameter

” (22 mm); Hose outer diameter 1 ¼” (30 mm). Additional steam hose is available GFI

#7513 / CGF #GF-20-2.
