VALSTEAM ADCA LIPO COMPLIMENTARY EQUIPMENT

The LIPO series condensate lifting pots are used for rising condensate to elevated pipes, eliminating steam and water hammering. When the condensate is elevated to the condensate main at a higher level, the flash steam formed at a steam trap’s outlet condenses, due to contact with colder condensate and steam bubbles implode, reducing its volume while passing to the liquid state. The vacuum is then suddenly formed and, when filled again with the incoming condensate, it causes a water hammer. The air and flash steam cushion formed in the upper part of the lifting pot absorbs any shock, while in the bottom the condensate operates as a sealing liquid.
