Our Products
Our product range contains a wide range of Vacuum Breakers and Sight Glasses
REX Vacuum Breakers provide a simple, dependable way to relieve any unwanted vacuum condition which may develop in closed vessels such as vats, unit heaters, jacketed pans, cookers, receivers, evaporators, heat exchangers, tanks, boilers, etc. and pipe line such as steam mains, condensate line etc.
In steam system, a vacuum will form when a control valve throttles down or the steam line is isolated. This vacuum formation will prevent efficient condensate removal and lead to possible equipment or system damage and poor process control.
In condensate return systems, collapsing flash steam bubbles will also cause a vacuum to form, leading to water hammer and noise problems.
Essential on temperature controlled steam applications, REX VB-Series Vacuum Breaker range offers a simple and effective solution, allowing air to enter a system as vacuum forms, thus restoring the system balance.
THE BENEFITSSight Glasses are devices that are normally fitted in a fluid line to provide a visual indication of the system condition. A sight glass fitted after a trap will quickly show whether it is working correct and will save hours where a lot of traps discharge into a closed condensate return system. It is very essential if ball float steam traps with steam lock release (SLR) are to be adjusted properly.
Single Window and Double Window versions are available in the REX range. The double window sight glass gives a clearer indication of flow, particularly if the sight glass has to be fitted in a position where it is difficult to see, such as underneath a machine.
