8 Trouble-shouting guide<br />
Error or malfunction and possible cause<br />
No steam is discharged from the distribution pipes<br />
• Actuator mounted incorrectly<br />
• Control or high-limit humidistat set too low<br />
• Defective control line between humidistat, controller and rotary control valve actuator<br />
• Defective or interrupted control line to safety devices (system interlock)<br />
• High-limit humidistat placed in wrong location<br />
• Ceramic rotary-disk control valve in closed position<br />
• Defective rotary control valve actuator or Ceramic rotary-disk control valve is jammed<br />
• Control voltage or pressure loss<br />
Malfunctioning steam supply<br />
• Shut off valve in steam supply pipe closed (Check manometer)<br />
• Steam supply pipe clogged by dirt<br />
• Safety shut off valve closed<br />
Ceramic rotary-disk control valve is not closing, excessive humidification<br />
• Actuator mounted incorrectly<br />
• Humidistat defective or improperly set<br />
• Defective controller<br />
• Defective rotary control valve actuator (voltage available)<br />
• Ceramic rotary-disk control valve is jammed<br />
• Pressure spring has lost its resilience<br />
• Loss of control voltage; actuator (without emergency function) does not close valve<br />
Water is discharged from the steam distribution pipes<br />
• Steam supply pipe not insulated<br />
• Steam supply pipe not properly drained<br />
• Steam supply pipe connected incorrectly to the main pipe (bottom or side instead of on top)<br />
• Incorrect primary pressure resulting in incorrect secondary pressure after the valve<br />
(p2 > 0.15 bar) or improperly dimensioned ceramic rotary-disk control valve<br />
• Oversupplied or overstressed steam generator (water is forced along)<br />
• Malfunctioning steam distribution pipe drainage (clogged or defective condensate drain)<br />
• Excessive back pressure in condensate drain pipe (secondary condensate drained under pressure)<br />
• Primary and secondary condensate drains are joined together<br />
• Condensate line is routed too high (static back pressure)<br />
• Main distribution pipe is not installed horizontally
