Note: the steam supply line must be made according to the instructions in chapter 5 of the installa- tion and operating instructions of the Condair Esco. Steam supply lines with a length of more than 4 m between the branch connection of the main steam line and the connecting flange of the valve unit must mandatory be drained.
Mounting the secondary condensate drain • Wrap teflon tape around the thread of the angled screw coupling or apply silicone-free sealant (heat-resistant up to 155 °C). Then, screw angled screw coupling into the secondary condensate drain (arrow on the thermostatic steam trap must point in drain direction). •...
1/2 of the primary steam pressure. The discharge/feedback of the primary condensate is customers responsibility. 5.3.1 Thermostatic steam trap for Esco cast-iron and stainless steel versions • Wrap teflon tape around the threads of the threaded pipe or apply silicone-free sealant (heat- resistant up to 155 °C).
5.3.2 Spheric float drain for Esco cast-iron version • Wrap teflon tape around the thread of the fitting or apply silicone-free sealant (heat-resistant up to 155 °C). Then, screw fitting into the spheric float drain (arrow on the spheric float drain must be on top and point in drain direction).
5.3.4 Spheric float drain and bell-shaped float drain for Esco stainless steel versions Attention danger of mistake: the stainless steel spheric float drain can easily be mistaken with the stainless steel bell-shaped float drain. A mistake of the two floats leads to a malfunctioning during operation, since the two floats have different installation positions.
5.3.4.2 Bell-shaped float drain for Esco stainless steel versions • Wrap teflon tape around the thread of the straight fitting or apply silicone-free sealant (heat- resistant up to 155 °C). Then, remove protective plug from the condensate connector of the valve unit screw fitting into the valve unit.
