The Rifomat floating steam trap, Vario-1090,
controls the condensate flow by using a rotary
slide valve. This valve
has a spindle provided with
a cut-out. The floating ball operates this valve in
front of the opening of the valve seat, independent
of pressure
and temperature fluctuations. This
substantially increases the lifetime
of the valve and valve seat. The steam trap can be supplied for mounting
horizontally, or vertically
The unit can also be easily
re-assembled for use in a different position at a later
stage, if required.
