1- SAS: Shock-Absorbing Spherical Piston (U.S.Pat. 4,921,215)

The spherical surface of this new SAS piston creates a low pressure area in the passing steam flow. This pulls the piston down, making the orifice easy to open for accurate, responsive control. The piston is also self-centering when the valve stem tilts. As illustrated, steam flows slower through the shorter path on the left side than on the right side, creating a high pressure region on the left side and a low pressure region on the right side. This pressure difference causes the piston to self-align. The exclusive SAS design permits a smooth high velocity flow eliminating the turbulent steam flow characteristic of conventional valve designs.

2. SCE: Super Cyclonical Effects Separator (U.S.Pat. 4,723,970)

This unique SCE separator provides dry saturated secondary steam by effectively removing condensate and scale with its 98% separation efficiency. This raises the heat transfer coefficient by 9% improving steam equipment productivity. The pressure reducing valve service life is extended since the effective removal of condensate and scale protects the main valve from erosion.

3. SST: Super Steam Trap (U.S.Pat. 4,867,767)

Separated condensate is instantly removed by this SST continuous discharge trap. The patented three-point seating design and precision ground spherical ball float provides seal-tight shut-off even under no-load conditions.
