What is the maximum steam pressure recommended for a steam heated pan humidifier?

The recommended maximum steam pressure for a steam heated pan humidifier is tied to the safety and efficiency of the system. At 103 kPa (15 psi), this pressure level is generally considered optimal for ensuring that the humidifier operates effectively without posing safety risks or risking damage to the equipment.

Operating at this pressure allows for adequate steam generation while maintaining a level of safety that minimizes the chances of leaks or failures in the system. This is particularly important in humidification applications, where excessive pressure can lead to operational issues, inefficiency, or potentially hazardous conditions.

In contrast, other options represent pressures that are either too low or too high for typical applications of steam heated pan humidifiers. Lower pressures may not provide enough steam for effective humidification, while pressures above the recommended level could increase the risks associated with steam systems, such as potential explosions or unsafe operating conditions. Thus, 103 kPa (15 psi) strikes a balance between performance and safety.
