Product Overview
The AV2000 air vent is used on industrial steam applications up to 650 PSIG for the removal of air and non-condensable gases from process equipment, vessels and piping. The air vent should be located at a high point in the system or vessel and can be installed in any orientation.
Features
• Welded stainless steel thermal element
• Hardened stainless steel seat and valve plugs for extended service life
• Integral strainer to protect from contamination
• Steam pressures up to 650 PSIG
• Special Subcool Options Available
How It Works
The thermostatic air vent contains a welded stainless steel thermal element that expands when heated and contracts when cooled. When air and non-condensable gases are present, the valve is in the open discharge position. When steam reaches the air vent, the element expands and closes the valve off tightly.
