Thermal Fluid Sampling Device

Abstract

Provided is an improved device for obtaining a sample of thermal fluid from a thermal fluid system. The device includes a thermal fluid collector vessel which is sealable, a fluid inlet which is operable to receive thermal fluid from a thermal fluid system and to transfer the thermal fluid to the thermal fluid collector vessel, a fluid outlet for removing a portion of the received thermal fluid from the collector vessel and a bleed valve. A sample of thermal fluid is selectively retained in the thermal fluid collector vessel by operation of the fluid inlet and the fluid outlet such that the sample of thermal fluid is sealed in the collector vessel to retain the integrity of the sample.
