Electro-Steam Drain Tempering Kit

Optimizing Industrial Effluent Management for Compliance and Conservation

The Electro-Steam Drain Tempering Kit is an essential add-on for Electro-Steam’s electric steam generators, designed to ensure compliant and safe hot effluent discharge. This kit addresses critical plumbing code requirements and supports water conservation, making it indispensable for facilities prioritizing operational safety, regulatory adherence, and environmental stewardship. As a leading US-based manufacturer since 1952, Electro-Steam ensures this kit meets the same high standards as their primary equipment.

Meeting Regulatory Demands and Enhancing Sustainability

Industrial facilities face stringent regulations regarding hot wastewater discharge into public drainage systems, with common limits around 140°F (60°C). Non-compliance can lead to fines, shutdowns, and damage to PVC piping and other infrastructure. Direct discharge of steam or hot, pressurized water also poses significant safety hazards.

The Drain Tempering Kit directly addresses these challenges by actively tempering hot effluent before it enters the drain, ensuring regulatory adherence without complex, costly traditional blowdown tanks. Beyond compliance, the DTV kit is a vital tool for water conservation, reducing utility expenses and supporting sustainability goals. This positions the product as a strategic investment, offering returns through avoided fines, reduced repair costs, and lower utility bills.

Engineered for Performance

The Electro-Steam Drain Tempering Kit is engineered for robust performance. Its rugged, clog-resistant valve design ensures exceptional durability and reliable, long-term operation in demanding industrial environments, minimizing maintenance and reducing operational expenditure.

A key feature is its automatic water conservation capability. The DTV valve intelligently modulates cold water flow based on effluent temperature, activating only when hot effluent exceeds a safe set-point and precisely injecting cooling water. As effluent cools, the valve reduces flow, fully closing when the temperature drops approximately 10°F below the full open temperature, leading to substantial water and utility savings.

The kit is designed for easy, flexible installation with standard pipe fittings and operates effectively in any orientation, simplifying integration into complex plumbing systems and reducing installation time and labor costs.

Intelligent Operation for Optimal Temperature Control

The DTV valve’s core is a highly responsive, self-actuating thermal actuator. Hot effluent from a steam generator flows over this actuator via an included tee fitting. If the effluent temperature rises above the safe set-point, the actuator automatically opens the cold water inlet, mixing cold water with the hot discharge to reduce its temperature to a compliant level. As the effluent cools, the valve modulates, gradually reducing cold water flow and fully closing at about 10°F below the full open temperature to conserve water. This self-actuating design requires no external power source, simplifying installation and enhancing reliability.

Versatile Applications

The Electro-Steam ES Drain Tempering Kit is highly versatile, essential for safe, compliant, and efficient hot effluent discharge across various industrial and commercial settings, including:

• Boiler Blow-down Drain Lines: Manages high-temperature discharge from boiler maintenance.
• Condensate Return Headers: Tempers hot condensate before drainage.
• Heat Exchanger Backup Cooling: Provides temperature reduction for discharge.
• Humidifier Discharge to Sewer/Drain: Ensures compliant disposal of hot wastewater from humidification systems.
• Commercial Kitchens & Dishwashers: Manages hot water discharge from high-volume cleaning.
• Sterile Processing Equipment: Safely discharges hot wastewater from sterilization processes.
• General Mechanical Rooms: For any equipment producing hot water discharge requiring temperature reduction.

Seamless Integration and Comprehensive Kit Components

The kit is engineered for straightforward installation with standard pipe fittings. Key requirements include adherence to local plumbing codes, proper joint preparation, connecting the drain to the top of the tee near the hot water source, horizontal valve positioning, and maintaining a proper air gap at discharge. All included parts, such as the water hammer arrester and backflow preventer, must be installed for maximum safety and compliance, simplifying procurement and ensuring system integrity.
