Task and function
Purpose
UNA 45 MAX, UNA 46 MAX and UNA 46A MAX are
items of equipment for the steam process designed
for the effective removal of condensate from steam.
Equipment type UNA 45 MAX can also be used for
removing condensate from compressed air
systems.
Equipment type UNA 46 MAX and UNA 46A MAX
can also be used for removing condensate from
gases or gas mixtures.
Function
A ball float opens the orifice as a function of the
liquid level, thereby controlling the condensate
flowrate to be discharged. The max. discharge
capacity depends on the size of the fully open
orifice (O).
The float (6) rises with the liquid level and pulls the
nozzle stem (19) off the pilot valve (18), allowing a
small amount of fluid to flow through the pilot valve.
The fluid compresses the bellows of the control unit
and, as a consequence, the discharge orifice (20) is
completely uncovered.
Equipment with control unit SIMPLEX is particularly
suitable for cold condensates and superheated
steam.
Equipment with control unit DUPLEX may also be
used for air venting the installation. The control unit
DUPLEX consists of a float and a temperature
dependent air-venting facility. The air venting is
controlled by the membrane regulator. Equipment
with this type of control unit is particularly suitable
for saturated steam systems. Do not expose the
membrane regulator capsule of the DUPLEX control
unit to superheat conditions above 5 K.
The optional float-lifting lever allows you to lift the
float manually.
The optional hand-vent valve allows you to air vent
the pipe manually.

condensates that contain solid matter.
In these cases check the
equipment at
regular intervals for contamination and, if
necessary, remove dirt deposits.
To reduce contamination we recommend
installing a sedimentation vessel or a dirt
pocket arrangement upstream of the
equipment.
Normally you do not have to clean the internal parts
of the equipment.
To clean the equipment completely take off the
cover and remove the control unit.
The following drawings show equipment
type UNA
45 MAX with standard cover.
Removing cover
