Sequence of Operation

The following “action-reaction” outline is provided to help the user understand the

function of the equipment.

When the steam inlet valve is opened, steam flows into the jacket at a pressure

determined by the boiler system or by the pressure reducing valve that serves the

kettle.

In the jacket, steam transfers heat to the kettle as it condenses into water. The steam

trap allows condensate (water) to leave the jacket, while it holds steam in. When the

steam is shut off, condensation produces a vacuum in the jacket, but the check valve

in the condensate return line keeps water from flowing back into the jacket.
