ABSTRACT:
A condensate discharge device includes a housing formed with a flow chamber, and inlet and outlet pressure regions. A valve seat is disposed in the inlet region, and a closure part cooperates with the valve seat, so as to be able to rest thereon. A closed float is disposed in the flow chamber, and is movable along a stroke distance, and a lever mechanism connects the float with the closure part, and has a force transmission ratio proportional to the stroke distance. The improvement includes the flow chamber operating as a condensate throughput chamber, with the float dividing the flow chamber into upper and lower zones. Additionally, a throttle aperture is formed between the periphery of the float and a wall which at least partially defines the flow chamber, which aperture communicates with the zones; the flow chamber formed upstream of the throttle aperture is provided with an inflow opening, and the valve seat and the closure part are disposed in the flow chamber downstream of that throttle aperture so when the condensate fills the flow chamber to a predetermined level, the float will move within the flow chamber and raise the closing element off said valve seat to permit the condensate to be drained through the throttle aperture into the outlet region.
