Steam air vent

A steam air vent removes air and non-condensable gases from steam space and commonly uses a thermal response to restrict steam loss. It is distinct from a generic liquid air-release device or manual vent. Location, venting capacity, pressure, and drainage arrangement require review for the actual model and system.

Application and duty

Removal of trapped air from steam space using a verified device and location
