Thermodynamic Steam Traps

Pennant Engineering offers a range of thermodynamic steam traps. Model PT10 comes with in-built strainer in full stainless steel construction, and is best suited for header and main line drains and drip legs. Features: complete stainless steel construction ensures better mechanical and corrosion resistance properties; disc and seat are hardened by a special induction hardening process with seat harder than disc, to withstand continuous, prolonged operation; condensate entry below the disc, concentric to the disc/seat ensures a clean and parallel lift of the disc with reference to the seat, eliminating localised wear and tear; in-built strainer screen is of adequately large area; ideal for fluctuating loads and pressures, perfect shut-off, no steam loss; size – DN 15; connections – screwed (NPT/BSPT/BSP) socket weld, non IBR/IBR approved; limiting conditions PMA – max allowable pressure – 21 bar (g); TMA – max allowable temperature – 426°C; maximum operating back pressure at the outlet should not exceed 80% of the inlet pressure; minimum differential pressure for satisfactory operation – 0.25 bar (g); and cold hydro test pressure – 42 bar (g). The trap will operate in any position but the preferred installation is in the horizontal plane with the disc cap on the top. Full port isolating valves should be installed upstream and downstream of the trap. Always open isolation valves slowly until normal operating conditions are achieved to avoid system shocks. Maintenance: this trap can be maintained without disturbing the piping connections. It is important that the trap should be installed as close as possible to the system drain point. For new installations, the system should be properly flushed prior to fitting the trap.
