Placing a dispersion assembly near an elbow (see Figure 60-1)
• Location A is the best choice. Better absorption occurs on the
downstream side of an elbow than on the upstream side.
• Location B is the second-best choice. Installing upstream of an
elbow can cause wetting at the turning vanes. In cases where it is
structurally impossible to avoid Location B, use a multiple tube
dispersion unit to ensure complete absorption. Also, since more
air flows along the outside of a turn, better absorption occurs if
the humidifier discharges proportionately more steam in that part
of the airstream.
• At both locations, discharging steam against or perpendicular to
the airstream gives slightly better mixing and absorption than
discharging with the airstream.
