Nortec Short Absorption Manifold (SAM-e) The SAM-e is Nortec‟s best performing steam absorption system for use in Air Handling Units and duct systems where short steam absorption distance is critical. Precisely controlled clean steam is distributed uniformly into the air stream by the SAM-e without any condensate spray. Steam distrib ...

Determining the Steam Absorption Distance A certain amount of time is required for complete absorption when injecting steam into the air. During this time, steam moves a fixed distance from the distribution manifold before it is fully absorbed into a moving air stream. The absorption distance is the distance required for steam to be ful ...

Static Air Pressure Table 1 shows the static pressure loss created by a SAM-e in various velocities. Table 1: Air Pressure Loss in AHU / Duct Air Velocity [ fpm (m/s) ] Air Pressure Loss [ in(mm) of water column ] SAM-e Tube Spacing 3” (762 mm) 6” (152 mm) 9” (229 mm) 12” (305 mm) 500 (2.5) 0.01 (0.3) 0.01 (0.3) No measurable d ...

The SAM-e is available with optional stainless steel insulation for headers and tubes. Insulation is desirable to reduce air-stream heat gain, reduce condensate losses, and improve energy efficiency. Please refer to Table 3 when estimating condensate losses with insulated SAM-e‟s. Table 3: Condensate Loss for Insulated SAM-e Air Vel ...
