Description
For pressures to 300 psig (20 bar) . . .
Capacities to 104 scfm (177 m3h)
Armstrong offers thermostatic air vents for positive venting of air
and other non-condensable gases from steam in chamber-type heat-transfer
equipment. Typical applications include jacketed kettles, retorts,
vulcanizers, jacketed sterilizers or other contained equipment where air
could accumulate in remote areas of the steam chamber and reduce
heat-transfer capacity. These vents are balanced pressure air vents that
respond to the pressure-temperature curve of steam. Air is
automatically vented at slightly below steam temperature throughout the
entire operating pressure range.
- Suitable for pressures from 0 – 300 psig
- All 304-L stainless steel bodies—sealed, tamperproof
- Balanced-pressure thermostatic element vents air at slightly below
steam temperature over the entire pressure range—no adjustments required - Dependable, proven phosphor-bronze bellows caged in stainless
steelwith bronze valve and stainless steel seatAvailable in
straight-thru or right-angle connections
Armstrong thermostatic air vents should be
installed at the highest point on a steam chamber, with the air vent
located above the chamber. This will minimize the possibility of any
liquid carryover, and air can be vented at atmosphere without a drain
line.
