Ball Float Steam Traps
Description
FT_23 ball float steam traps are suitable for use with saturated and
superheated steam, on process equipment, and the first choice for
drainage of temperature controlled systems.
They are the perfect choice in solving problems caused by steam
that is carrying solid and incondensable contaminants such as salts
and gasses; These quickly lead to fouling and the accumulation of
sediment and debris, resulting in failure of the internal mechanism.
They are typically used on geothermal steam.
The main design feature is the innovative self-cleaning float
closing mechanism, which allows automatic safe operation even
in cases of severe steam contamination. Furthermore, the position
and size of the main valve and seat makes it easier for the discharge
of condensate and solid contaminant. The trap is able to modulate
the condensate flow adapting immediately to sudden and large
variations of flow and pressure.
Another key feature of the unit is the external manual lever that
allows the valve ball to be fully opened regardless of the presence
or absence of condensate in the unit - This facilitates the fast
removal of any sediment/condensate that may be in the unit and
easier inspection in maintaining optimum performance of the
internal mechanism.
