Condair Esco

2.5 Connection unit
• Steam connection
Connection to the steam supply is made from the top by means of a
standard flange.
• Strainer
The strainer is located inside the connection unit at an angle of 90
degrees to the steam inlet. Its unique design results in a uniform flow
of steam, at a significantly reduced velocity, through the entire screen
area into the water separator. If required, the threaded connection
facilitates cleaning the screen.
• Water separator
The water separator removes the condensate droplets carried along
by the steam entering through the strainer. The droplets slide down the
inner wall of the water separator into the primary condensate drain. The
dried steam flows to the ceramic rotary-disk control valve.
• Steam trap
The steam humidification systems Condair Esco DR 73 and DL 40 both
utilise a primary and a secondary condensate drain. The primary
condensate drain consists of a spheric float that adapts to pressure
and capacity fluctuations and continuously drains the condensate from
the steam connection unit (alternatively a drain with a bell-shaped float
may be used instead).
The secondary condensate drain empties the condensate accumulating
in the steam distribution pipes. This thermal steam trap is maintenancefree.
