Step 4
(Fig. 9)
The snap action mechanism ensures
a rapid change from the trapping
mode to the active pumping mode.
With the motive inlet valve open, the
pressure in the APT10-2 increases
above the total back pressure and the
condensate is forced out through the
trap seat into the plant’s return system.
Step 5
(Fig. 10)
As the condensate level falls within
the main chamber, the float re-engages
the change over linkage, causing the
motive inlet to close and the
exhaust valve to open.
Step 6
(Fig. 11)
As the pressure inside the APT10-2
equalises with the condensate inlet
pressure through the open exhaust
valve, condensate re-enters via the
inlet swing check valve. At the same
time the outlet ball check valve
ensures no condensate can drain
back into the main chamber and
the trapping or pumping cycle
begins again.
Return to Step 1.
