Troubleshooting Guide
I. HumidiPack/HumidiPackPlus will not discharge steam.
A. Control System Fault
1. Control valve operator-does the valve open and close as the control signal varies
between 0% to 100%?
B. Steam System Malfunction
1. Strainer screen before control valve is plugged.
2. Pressure reducing valve malfunction.
II. HumidiPack/HumidiPackPlus discharges continuously even though
humidity has exceeded desired level.
A. Humidity controller or pneumatic operator out of calibration.
B. Control valve malfunction.
1. Valve stem on control valve "frozen" to stem seal due to unusual chemical or
corrosive conditions in steam system.
2. Operator spring on pneumatic control valve broken.
3. Dirt or scale between valve and seat in control valve - blow down and clean strainer.
III. Low Steam Output
A. Control system
1. Humidity controller or pneumatic operator not calibrated
or malfunctioning.
2. Control valve faulty.
B. Steam system
1. Piping not sized correctly.
IV. HumidiPack/HumidiPackPlus "Spitting"
A. Lift or back pressure after float & thermostatic steam trap(s) is too great for steam
supply pressure resulting in flooded HumidiPack panel.
B. Supply steam not properly dripped.
C. HumidiPackPlus ONLY: Jacketing supply steam to the active tubes may be isolated
or off.
D. The steam trap draining HumidiPack/HumidiPackPlus header has failed closed.
E. HumidiPackPlus ONLY: The steam trap draining the active tube jackets has failed
closed.
F. Tubes on the panel are sloped away from instead of towards the header.
G. Not enough "head" distance in between the bottom of the HumidiPack/HumidiPackPlus
header and top of F&T drip traps.
H. Steam trap draining HumidiPack/HumidiPackPlus header is not isolated from a common
return line (check valves not installed after trap.)
I. Verify sufficient jacketing pressure is available for HumidiPackPlus units.
