4.5 Operation (Continued)
With the temperature setting on the control valve set to the specified value, the control
valve will allow steam to enter the tube bundle. (Figure 4-7). As steam flows through the
tube bundle, the temperature of the steam will drop causing it to condense. The steam
condensate will exit through the head of the unit to a properly sized steam trap. The
steam trap should be piped to an adequate drain. For proper operation, the steam
condensate must be removed.
