    The VB-VS combination vacuum breaker/air vent is designed to remove non-condensable gases and air from steam systems. It operates by sensing temperature differences between steam and gases to open the valve head and allow air flow. When pressure drops to vacuum, the small vacuum breaker opens to introduce air and cool the thermostat, opening the valve further. It should be installed vertically at high points where air collects and maintenance requires isolation, cooling, and inspection/cleaning of parts.

    INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

    IMI 4.107 December 2002

    Combination Vacuum Breaker/Air Vent Type


    VB-VS
    To
    Operation Atmospheric
    On start up of the system or equipment, the thermostat Pressure
    will be wide open providing free access for non-conden-
    sibles and air to be removed from the system. The
    thermostat senses the temperature difference between
    steam and non-condensible vapors to operate the valve
    head. When the system pressure falls to zero and begins
    to go into vacuum the small vacuum breaker will open
    allowing air to flow into the VB-VS body cooling the
    thermostat causing to open to further allow more air to
    flow into the system at a high rate. The unit is self adjust-
    ing and will work equally well at any pressure up to the
    maximum pressure of the unit. The VB-VS is not
    recommended for superheat service.

    Installation
    Inlet
    The VB-VS should be positioned at the high point of the
    From
    piping system or equipment or where air collects and Equipment
    vacuum needs to be broken. The VB-VS must be piped
    in a vertical position so only air and steam surround the
    thermostatic bellows and vacuum breaker. The
    discharge can be hot and wet. The outlet should be
    piped to a safe place. An isolation valve should be Spare Parts:
    placed on the inlet side of the VB-VS. Cap Gasket STK #81621

    VB STK #0190190
    D
    Maintenance
    This product can be maintained without disturbing the
    inlet piping connections. Complete isolation is required
    before any servicing is performed. The vent must be
    cooled down to prevent over-expansion of the thermostat E
    and to prevent steam from escaping from the unit which Cap gasket A
    could burn the operator. F Element Set C, D, E, F

    The VB-VS should be disassembled periodically for


    inspection and cleaning of the valve head and seat.
    Worn or damaged parts should be replaced.
