Abstract
A condensate drainage device for a steam system which includes a series-connected arrangement of orifice-type devices particularly suitable for relatively small condensate drainage capacity. The orifice-type devices are selected for installation in housings or bodies having advantageously placed heat exchanger fins which cooperate with the size of orifice devices installed for desired condensate drainage over a range of different steam system pressure and volumetric capacities requirements.
