Key Features:
- Self-acting ball float mechanism –discharges condensate continuously.
- Stainless steel internals –corrosion-resistant, ensures long service life.
- Built-in air vent & optional steam-lock release (SLR valve) –prevents air lock.
- Modular design –easy removal and maintenance without pipeline disturbance.
- Vacuum-capable –enables service in condensers and low-pressure zones.
- Multiple pressure ratings –adaptable to various system conditions (4.5, 10, 14 bar).
Benefits:
- Fully automatic operation – no external power or controls needed.
- Efficient condensate removal – maintains optimal heat transfer.
- Air management – integrated vent avoids startup issues and steam wastage.
- Minimal maintenance downtime – internals accessible without breaking connections.
- Versatile deployment – suitable for systems with vacuum or high back-pressure.
- Robust and safe construction – SG iron body, stainless internals, pressure-certified.
