Condensate drain PT61

automaticfloat

Ball float steam traps works on buoyancy principle. The float floats on the condensate. Its movement is controlled by the leverage. When condensate level increases and the float movement is restricted, resultant buoyancy force overcomes the closing force on the outlet valve, trap opens releasing condensate. When the condensate load is reduced and steam reaches the trap, the downward movement of the Float causes the valve to close, preventing steam from escaping. FEATURES Pennant ball float steam traps comes with air vent which allows the air to pass out of the steam trap. Float type steam traps also comes with Steam Lock Release (SLR) unit, which can be used to avoid steam locking/flooding condition inside steam trap. Modulating discharge and it can handle heavy condensate loads. Can be customized as per customer requirements. Float type steam traps can offer higher heat transfer rate, discharges condensate at steam temperature. LIMITATIONS It is susceptible to damage by water hammer It cannot be used in superheated steam The float can be damaged by freezing Water expands as it gets hotter, and the water’s lower density limits the float trap’s maximum operating pressure.
