Operation
(1) When condensate flows from the condensate inlet pipe through the inlet check valve into the
body of the unit, the air in the body escapes through the exhaust valve
(which equalizes the internal pump pressure to the pressure of the condensate source) and
the float rises, as shown in (1) below.
(2) When the float rises to its high level, the push rod on the snap-action unit rises quickly,
simultaneously closing the exhaust valve and opening the intake (motive medium) valve.
The pressure supplied by the motive medium causes the internal pressure in the unit to
become greater than the back pressure. The inlet check valve closes and the outlet check
valve is pushed open, thus discharging the condensate in the unit through the outlet pipe,
as shown in (2) below.
(3) As a result of the condensate in the unit being discharged, the water level in the unit drops
and the float descends. When the float reaches its low level, the push rod on the
snap-action unit moves down quickly, simultaneously opening the exhaust valve and closing
the intake (motive medium) valve and the status reverts to that shown in (1) below.
CAUTION
Take measures to prevent people from coming into direct contact with
product outlets. Failure to do so may result in burns or other injury from
the discharge of fluids.
