Product Details
Benefits and Features
- Energy Conservation
- The valve opening is under a continuous water-seal, so no steam can escape through the valve. In the case of small condensate loads, such as in superheated steam lines, the Free Float’s 3-point seating holds the float tightly against the valve opening to ensure that no steam is allowed to escape.
- Prevention of Start-up Trouble
- The automatic air vent design opens the air vent valve at start-up to discharge any low temperature air inside the system. This prevents air-binding, which can be caused by initial air.
- Long Service Life
- The spherical Free Float® rotates during operation, allowing any point on its surface to act as the valve seal and thus ensuring long service life.
Application Areas
Steam main lines, steam headers, tracers, etc.
