Thermodynamic steam traps operate on the basis of the Bernoulli principle, depending on the relationship between the velocity and the pressure exerted by the condensate and steam inside the steam trap. They have only one moving part – the disc.

Due to their compact design and cost effectiveness thermodynamic steam traps are widely used in applications where the condensate must be removed immediately from steam lines and steam equipment. They discharge the condensate near the saturation temperature.

FEATURES

• Immediate discharge of condensate
• Insensitive to waterhammer, superheated steam and freezing
• Most types contain a bimetal ring which improves the ability of the trap to discharge air and cold condensate quickly at start-up and prevents air locking during times of operation
• Can be installed in any position
• In case of danger of air locking special discs available
• All traps equipped with additional cover for reduced frequency of cycling and energy savings
• All traps with inbuilt strainers (except SL3)
• Easy maintenance

SUITABLE FOR

light to medium condensate loads: steam tracing, steam main drips, small heat exchangers, unit heaters, sterilizers and many other applications in the petrochemical, chemical, textile, food, pharmaceutical and further industries.

Series SV Thermodynamic steam traps with inbuilt bypass are designed for special applications in the food, pharmaceutical or other industries or for laundry applications where costs and space must be saved.
