    Operation Principles of air and condensate discharge: 1. Start-up air and cold condensate discharge At start-up, the bimetal air vent ring is cold and has therefore contracted, causing it to ride up the valve seat skirt to the narrower area under the disc, thus lifting the disc off the seat and holding the valve open.
