What is the importance of Vacuum Breakers on steam lines to Jiggers, Winch and J-boxes etc.?
When steam supply is cut off by closing the isolating valve, the steam in line space beyond the closing valves condenses and a partial vacuum is created. Due to this, effluent for machines may enter the steam line or steam system. To avoid this, Vacuum Breaker should be provided on the steam supply line.
