Product overview

Steam traps

It is essential, without loss of live steam, to remove condensate and often air and other incondensable gases from steam

systems. The Spirax Sarco range of steam traps allows the best choice to be made for all applications. A steam trap

performance monitoring system complements the range.

1. Thermodynamic steam traps

Thermodynamic steam traps combine reliability, simplicity and

efficiency of operation; with just one moving part (a hardened

stainless steel disc) they give a blast discharge with clean, tight

shut-off. They are able to withstand: superheat, waterhammer,

corrosive condensate, freezing and vibration. The TD trap is the

first choice for removal of condensate from steam

distribution systems.

Sizes up to DN25.

For pressures up to 250 bar.

Body material: carbon steel, stainless steel or alloy steel.

2. Ball float steam traps

Ball float steam traps are extremely versatile and work efficiently

on both light and heavy condensate loads. Although compact in

size, their discharge capacity is high and continuous, ensuring

maximum heat transfer. These traps are the best choice for

draining plant with automatic temperature control.

An integral air vent is fitted as standard and an adjustable

needle valve is available as an option to prevent steam locking.

Sizes up to DN100.

For pressures up to 80 bar.

Body material: cast iron, SG iron, cast steel or stainless steel.

3. Balanced pressure thermostatic steam traps

Balanced pressure thermostatic steam traps adjust

automatically to varying steam pressures and have

excellent air venting characteristics during plant start-up

and during normal operation. They have large discharge

capacities for their size and the robust design of the

internals gives a good life expectancy.

Sizes up to DN25.

For pressures up to 32 bar.

Body material: brass, cast steel or stainless steel.

4. Sealed steam traps

Sealed maintenance free steam traps.

Range: balanced pressure, inverted bucket and

bimetallic versions.

Sizes up to DN25.

For pressures up to 45 bar.

Body material: stainless steel.
