2.5 Function
■
Due to the gravity the condensate flows downwards to the lowest point, which is the condensate trap housing. In the
lowest position of the float the outlet cross-section is close. Rising of the liquid level lifts the float and opens the outlet.
Condensate will be discharged through the upturned immersion tube. Decreasing condensate level closes the outlet again.
2.6
Compensation line
■
To get the proper function of the float control assembly in applications of pressure gases, the gases in the condensate trap
housing must be led into the gas chamber with the same operating pressure above the condensate trap (pressure compen-
sation). For this purpose the control screw (4) in models 1201-N can be replaced by a cutting ring union and a compensating
line leading upward can be installed. The pressure compensation for the models 1280-N is not strongly recommended.
2.7
Automatic venting
■
In the case of steam applications, automatic venting must be provided (vent jet).
2.8
Gastight under-level float control (only for gas applications)
■
For gas applications, a gastight under-level float control is nearly exclusively used. Consult with Rifox, if necessary.
