NOTE: The M-170 is manufactured with a pneumatic (piston) damper system which
requires an external supply of clean, dry, regulated air (80 psi +/- 10 psi). Refer to
Steam Damper Air System Connections, Section H, item 3.
1. STEAM COIL PH LEVEL
The normal PH level for copper type steam coils must be maintained between a value of 8.5 to 9.5. For steel
type steam coils the PH level must be maintained between a value of 9.5 to 10.5. These limits are set to limit
the acid attack of the steam coils.
IMPORTANT: Coil failure due to improper PH level will VOID THE WARRANTY.
