Application
MIYAWAKI Air Traps are designed for continuous discharge of condensate from air piping, receiver tanks, gas and compressed air systems.
| AG11, AG12 | Cast Iron Ball Float Air Traps for medium condensate amounts |
| AG29 | Ductile Cast Iron Ball Float air and gas trap |
| AGH29 | Cast Steel Ball Float air and gas trap |
| AW2 | Brass Thermostatic Air Vent |
| AT9 | Forged Steel Thermostatic Bimetallic Air Vents |
Operation
1) At start up condensate enters the air trap. The float is rising and the condensate will be discharged through the wide open valve. Air, which usually enters the trap body together with the condensate, will accumulate in the upper part of the trap body. To prevent air locking, a pressurebalancing line connects the upper part of the trap with the drained equipment, so that the air can escape easily from the trap body.
2) Condensate continuously enters the air trap. Depending on the condensate amount the float will move upwards or downwards to open or close the valve seat. Usually a certain liquid level will be maintained in the trap body and condensate will be discharged continuously. Air will leave the trap body through the pressure-balancing line.
