Abstract: A condensate discharge device includes a housing formed with a flow chamber, and inlet and outlet pressure regions. A valve seat is disposed in the inlet region, and a closure part cooperates with the valve seat, so as to be able to rest thereon. A closed float is disposed in the flow chamber, and is movable along a stroke distance, and a lever mechanism connects the float with the closure part, and has a force transmission ratio proportional to the stroke distance. The improvement includes the flow chamber operating as a condensate throughput chamber, with the float dividing the flow chamber into upper and lower zones.
