Can Steamloc work under negative pressure condition?
In case of negative pressure difference no condensate is removed, not by steam traps, not by Steamloc. Condensate can flow back into the application, which can be restricted by a check valve. As a solution to drain such conditions one could install atmospherical discharge to temporarily collect condensate or one could use a pump behind Steamloc. Steamloc handles all positive pressures while the pump takes over for the negative ones. A benefit for this line-up is the protection of the pump – it never has to deal with the high pressure condition which obviously improves the pump life-time.
