Abstract
A condensate removal device for removal of condensate from a fluid system. The device includes a body adapted for connection to the fluid system, the body having an inflow opening and an outflow opening. A trap between the inflow opening and the outflow opening restricts flow of fluid to permit the passage of liquid condensate but to inhibit the passage of gas. The trap includes a fixed passageway extending through the trap constructed for continuous fluid communication between the inflow opening and the outflow opening through the trap. A variable passageway extends through the trap, the variable passageway being constructed to selectively permit fluid communication between the inflow opening and outflow opening through the variable passageway in correspondence with the amount of liquid condensate in the fluid system. The device may include a labyrinth path to trap steam and pass condensate and be constructed to promote heat transfer and condensation of steam within the trap.
