Operation
On
initial start up the steam system, large amounts of cold condensate
and air are present in the system. At this point the bimetallic
strip of the delta element relaxes and fully opens the valve assembly
to quickly expel the high volume of non-condensate gases and cold
condensate through the discharge port.
As the element senses an increase in the condensate temperature
the bimetal expands and raises the stem to modulate the flow.
Just below the temperature of saturated steam the seat will close
tightly to prevent live steam from discharging.
Application
Specifically developed to make use of the latent heat or steam
and the sensible heat of condensate prior to discharge for services
with differential pressures to 300 PSI. The TS22 features sealed
stainless steel construction, while the M22 and TM22 are completely
maintainable and include integral strainers.
