Thermodynamic Steam Trap (TD52):
The TD52 is a rugged and compact thermodynamic steam trap that is ideal for steam main drainage, steam tracing systems, process equipment, laundry and kitchen equipment, superheated steam applications, outdoor installations subject to freezing. It is constructed of hardened stainless steel and available in sizes up to 1". With a broad operating range of up to 600 psig, this trap can meet the wide array of applications found in industrial systems.
Installation:
The preferred installation is in the horizontal position as close as possible to equipment being drained. Install strainer (20 mesh) upstream and full port isolating valves upstream and downstream of trap. Piping to and from the trap should be at least equal to or one
size larger than trap connection. Do not weld pipe connection to trap. Body material is not suitable for welding.
For freeze resistant installations, all drains must be pitched toward the trap for gravity flow. Trap must be installed vertically, discharging downward. Discharge piping must be self-draining.
