Thermodynamic Steam Traps 
|
Essentially, a Thermodynamic Steam Trap is a time cycle device which responds to pressure imbalances applied to a valving device, usually a disc. Pressure caused by air or condensate lifts the disc permitting flow through the trap. When steam arrives at the inlet port, blowby at a high velocity creates low pressure under the disc. Some of the flashing condensate is blown past the disc into the upper chamber, forcing the disc downward. Further flow is stopped when sufficient pressure is trapped in the chamber above the disc. During operation, a decrease in chamber pressure permits inlet pressure to lift the disc and open the trap. Nicholson Thermodynamic Traps available are the NTD 600 series and the Liquidator UMT-TD Series. |
