Purgeur thermostatique dont le fonctionnement est basé sur la différence des coefficients de dilatation des deux différents métaux constituant chacun des bilames qui, par l'intermédiaire d'un clapet, commandent l'ouverture et la fermeture de l'orifice d'évacuation des condensats. 5, record 1, French, - purgeur%20bim%C3%A9tallique
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
[...] les éléments à dilatation des purgeurs thermostatiques ouvrent l'orifice de purge dès que la température de la vapeur devient inférieure, d'une certaine valeur, à la température de saturation de la vapeur à la pression considérée; leur conception plus ou moins élaborée permet d'obtenir une courbe de fonctionnement pression-température proche de la courbe de saturation de la vapeur. 6, record 1, French, - purgeur%20bim%C3%A9tallique
