cOndensate trap

18 .1 function

The condensate trap A in Figure 18.1 and Figure 18.2 allows
the discharge of the condensate via the condensate drain pipe
avoiding in the mean time the escape of combustion products.
A plastic ball closes the trap outlet in case that the trap is empty.

figure 18 .1
If the drain pipe is plugged or in any case in which the conden-
sate isn't correctly evacuated, the condensate level rises filling
the trap and reaching the condensing heat exchanger.
When the condensate reaches the lower part of the exchanger
obstructs the exhaust gas flow and the boiler stops (no signal
from the air pressure sensor).
