Armstrong International A5345 Thermostatic Air Vent

The Armstrong International A5345 Thermostatic Air Vent is utilized to eliminate air and non-condensable gases from steam systems and increase heat transfer in HVAC systems. This vent works by using a thermal component that expands when the system gets hot, shutting off the valve to steam while letting air through during the start-up of the system. Located on jacketed kettles, sterilizers, and retorts, this vent regulates pressure and precludes airspace that might impede steaming in vessels. Advantages include increased energy conservation, decreased costs of operation, and increased system effectiveness which makes it a necessary aspect of steam control in industries.
