Ball float steam traps: these extremely versatile traps work efficiently on both light and heavy condensate loads. Although compact in size, their discharge capacity is high and continuous, ensuring maximum heat transfer. Ball float steam traps are the best choice for draining plant with automatic temperature control. An integral air vent is fitted as standard and a steam lock release is an option.

Range: DN15 to DN100; up to 32 bar; cast iron, SG iron, cast steel and stainless steel.

Capacities up to 40 000 kg/h.

Inverted bucket steam traps are the most robust type of the mechanical traps and will resist waterhammer. Also, with a check valve fitted in the inlet, they can be used with superheated steam. They are available with a wide selection of valve orifices for precise pressure and load matching.

Range: DN15 to DN50; up to 62 bar; cast iron, cast steel, alloy steel and stainless steel.

Capacities up to 9 000 kg/h.

Thermodynamic steam traps combine reliability, simplicity and efficiency of operation. With just one moving part - a hardened stainless steel disc - they give a blast discharge with clean, tight shut-off. Able to withstand superheat, waterhammer, corrosive condensate, freezing and vibration the TD trap is the first choice for removal of condensate from steam distribution systems.

Range: DN6 to DN25; up to 120 bar; carbon steel, stainless steel and alloy steel.

Capacities up to 1 000 kg/h.

Balanced pressure thermostatic steam traps adjust automatically to varying steam pressures and have excellent air venting characteristics during plant start-up and during normal operation. They have large discharge capacities for their size and the robust design of the internals gives a good life expectancy.

Range: DN6 to DN25; up to 30 bar; brass, cast steel and stainless steel.

Capacities up to 18 000 kg/h.

Bimetallic steam traps can conserve energy by discharging sub-cooled condensate in those applications which can utilise sensible heat. They are the most robust of all the thermostatic steam traps, able to withstand waterhammer and corrosive condensate.

Range: DN15 to DN40; up to 45 bar; cast steel, alloy steel and stainless steel.

Capacities up to 9 000 kg/h.
