The <strong>Spirax</strong> <strong>Sarco</strong> units (Strainers,<br />

Float & Thermostatic Steam Traps with<br />

SLR feature, Sight Glass, Air Reservoir<br />

with Air Vent) provides for the best<br />

drainage of condensate and noncondensibles<br />

The steam traps are often located at<br />

one end for ease of maintenance,<br />

with long pipes connecting them to<br />

the drainage points. If steam-locking<br />

is a problem in these long pipes,<br />

then a Float / Thermostatic steam<br />

trap with a steam-lock release is the<br />

best selection. The beds should be<br />

air vented at points remote from the<br />

steam entry. Steam s<strong>up</strong>ply lines to<br />

ironers should be drained, ideally<br />

using a separator.<br />
