Vented Condensate Pump Package with Flash Steam Heat Recovery (VCP-C)(Steam-Pressure-Powered)

Model VCP - 1.5C

The Model VCP-1.5C, Vented Condensate Pump Package with Flash Steam Heat Recovery, is a manufactured, ready-to-install system featuring significant energy savings. Flash Steam is released when trapped Condensate is discharged to atmospheric pressure. The heat available in the Flash Steam is transferred to Make-up Water, or another fluid medium, where heat is required. The result is substantial savings in energy costs at attractive pay-back periods. Also, designed for efficient pumping of condensate, VCP-1.5C utilizes steam power in lieu of electric motors, eliminating the need for wiring motors, starters, and controls. The steam-powered pump package is capable of operation in flammable environments. Operating by steam pressure versus electric power, reduces pumping costs. The pump employs a float operated snap-acting mechanism with no external seals or packing, which eliminates seal maintenance, which is required in conventional pumps. All internal pump components and mechanism are constructed of stainless steel.
