CRESCENT NICHOLSON® FTN-15 ERP_004126

Air entering trap is immediately discharged through the high capacity integral air vent. The thermostatic vent will close just prior to saturation temperature. The balanced design will allow venting of non-condensable that collect in the float chamber when operating at design pressure. When steam enters the trap, the thermostatic air vent closes to prevent steam loss. When steam gives up it's latent heat, it becomes condensate. This "condensate" enters the trap and causes the stainless steel ball float to rise. Raising of the float opens the discharge valve, allowing condensate to be continuously discharged as it enters the trap. The condensate level in the trap body is maintained above the discharge seat, providing a positive seal against the loss of steam.
