Float Steam Trap With Separator Threaded / Flange ADCA Flt 17
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
The float mechanism ensures direct drainage (removal) of the condensate from the steam system. In turn, the automatic air vent ensures the system is freed from uncondensed gases. Float condensate separators are designed primarily for horizontal installation. There are also versions for vertical installation, but the latter are made to order. Condensate separators of this type are designed to operate with a maximum differential pressure of 4.5 Bar. The capacity that is provided can be found in the additional information to the product description.
MAIN FUNCTIONS
