Thermodynamic Steam Traps

• Sizes: 1/2" to 2" [15mm to 50mm]
• Maximum operating pressure: 2,175 psig [150barg]
• Materials: Carbon steel, stainless steel, and alloy steel
• Model: DA, DC50, DC50L, DK100, DK150, DF - Unversial Connector

OPERATING PRINCIPLE

is operated by the internal energy of steam.Condensate and air entering the trap raise the disc, and flow continously throughout the discharge orifice. Steam entering the trap expands suddenly as it reaches the underside of the disc. The resulting high velocity causes a decrease in pressure under the disc (Bernouilli’s Law). Steam above the disc is stationary and therefore at a higher pressure. This pressure imbalance, forces the disc onto the seat, closing the trap. When condensate appears at the trap inlet, the steam above the disc condenses releasing the pressure and allowing the discharge cycle to repeat.
