Description

LIPO condensate lifting pots are used for rising condensate pipes eliminating steam and water hammering. When the condensate is elevated to the condensate main in a higher level, the flash steam formed at a steam trap’s outlet condenses in contact with colder condensate and steam bubbles implode, reducing its volume while passing to the liquid state. Vacuum is then suddenly formed and when filled again with the incoming condensate, it causes 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.
