Abstract
A radiator for low-pressure steam heating systems comprises at least two chambers, which constitute respective radiator elements. Consecutive elements are interconnected in an upper portion and in a lower portion. The upper portion of each element is connected to a low-pressure steam source. The lower portion of each element is connected to a condensate trap. At least individual ones of the elements are adapted to be shut off from the steam supply.
Claims4
A radiator for use with low-pressure steam heating systems, comprising at least two series of heating elements, each series having at least one heating element, upper and lower means for consecutively interconnecting said elements in upper and in lower portions thereof, means for independently interconnecting an upper portion of an element of each of said series to a low pressure steam source and for selectively disconnecting at least one of said series from the steam source, condensate drain valve means for maintaining condensate level in said elements higher than the level of said lower means for consecutively interconnecting lower portions of said elements to each other, and means for connecting said lower portions of each of said elements to said condensate drain valve means.
