- Features
- Completely drains condensate at saturation temperature
- Open bucket design will tolerate moderate water hammer
- Normal failure mode is open
- Sediment and dirt are kept in suspension until discharged with condensate
- Only two moving parts, lever assembly and bucket, leads to reliable operation
- Does not subcool condensate
- Marginal air handling during start-up
- Cycles fully open or closed, which can create noise
- May lose prime during light loads and blow live steam
- Requires manual priming to provide water seal
- Standards/Approvals: Mil WW-T-696-E Type I, Style B, Class 1-7
- Applications: For efficient condensate drainage of industrial process and HVAC equipment, heat exchangers without a modulating steam regulator, high pressure applications, drum type roller dryers, steam separators, laundry equipment, siphon or tilting kettles
