TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
DRIP, TRACER: The WD600 thermodynamic steam traps are
commonly used as drip traps on steam mains and steam
supply
lines. These traps can be used on tracing applications;
however, thermostatic traps are normally recommended for
this service. Ideal
for outdoor applications that are subject
to freezing and for superheated steam conditions.
HOW IT WORKS
The thermodynamic trap has cyclic
on-off operation with a
disk that is pushed open by incoming condensate and closes
tightly when steam tries to escape.
FEATURES
• High
pressure applications up to 600 psig
• Hardened stainless steel seat and disc for extended service
life even at high pressure
• Single
trap will operate over the entire pressure range
(3.5-600 psig)
• Unaffected by superheated steam
• Freezeproof when trap is piped in
a vertical orientation
for complete drainage of condensate
• Three hole balanced discharge extends life of the seat area
• Trap will
function in any orientation (horizontal preferred)
SAMPLE SPECIFICATION
The steam trap shall be a thermodynamic disc type with all
stainless
steel construction. Integral seat design and disc to be
hardened for long service life. Unit shall be capable of installation
in any
orientation and self-draining when mounted vertically.
INSTALLATION
Trap can be installed in any position; however, horizontal is
preferred.
Installation should include isolation valves and a 20
mesh strainer. Do not weld or damage can occur to the seat area.
MAINTENANCE
Dirt
is the most common cause of premature failure. For full
maintenance details, see Installation and Maintenance Manual.
OPTIONS
An insulation
cap is available to reduce cycle rates and steam
loss in rain, snow, or cold environments.
