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
