Ball Float Steam Trap with Thermostatic
ΔP: 4.5 - 14 Size:(1/2"
-
3/4")
 ◘ Typical
applications:
☼ Heat exchangers
☼ Heat coil's tanks
☼ Unit heaters
☼ Drying cylinders
☼ Ovens
☼ Pans
☼ Steam lines
◘ Applications:
In the steam lines and related systems the main or a portion of steam will
condense due to heat exchange because to be in contact with
environment and transfer of thermal energy. The result of this condensation will be
effective strokes in the pipe lines, reducing the system temperature and
blocking the steam circulation inside the pipes.
In order to prevent the above cases and to
increase the system efficiency and also to transfer the maximum thermal
energy and make optimum use of it, the condense should be immediately
removed from the system and directed towards condense collection tanks.
This action is done by means of steam trap
that keeps the efficiency factor of the steam in a high level. Therefore the
presence of steam trap such systems are necessary and condense removal is a
necessity. Such steam traps have a thermostat through which the air and
excessive gas will be guided out of the system, resulting correct function
of the steam trap. If in some cases any problem occurs for the floater,
discharge of condensed steam will be done by means of thermostat.
◘ Function and main feature:
A Float through a simply lever mechanism opens or closes the valve according
to the condenses level inside the trap. The opening is proportional with
condense rate. It is unaffected by instantaneous pressure changing. These
types of steam traps specially used where prompts and continues discharge of
condense is necessary. For such cases it is very adequate for some Systems
such as heat exchangers.
◘ Installation:
The ball float steam traps must be fitted with the float arm in a
horizontal plane. In this position the float rises and falls vertically so
opens or closes the seat by the valve. It is recognizes by moving the trap
to the up and down side by hand. Also the right position of the trap for
install indicated with the arrow on the name plate's body. The arrow on the
name plate's body in installation place is toward down. Ball float steam
trap can be installed in a vertically and horizontally
positions. It is possible by remove and return the cover.
Note: Cover part is assembled in vertically position.
