Description FT_23 ball float steam traps are suitable for use with saturated and superheated steam, on process equipment, and the first choice for drainage of temperature controlled systems. FTS23 Stainless Steel Body and Cover FTC23 Carbon Steel Body with Stainless Steel Cover Ball Float Steam Traps

They are the perfect choice in solving problems caused by steam that is carrying solid and incondensable contaminants such as salts and gasses; These quickly lead to fouling and the accumulation of sediment and debris, resulting in failure of the internal mechanism. They are typically used on geothermal steam. The main design feature is the innovative self-cleaning float closing mechanism, which allows automatic safe operation even in cases of severe steam contamination. Furthermore, the position and size of the main valve and seat makes it easier for the discharge of condensate and solid contaminant. The trap is able to modulate the condensate flow adapting immediately to sudden and large variations of flow and pressure. Another key feature of the unit is the external manual lever that allows the valve ball to be fully opened regardless of the presence or absence of condensate in the unit - This facilitates the fast removal of any sediment / condensate that may be in the unit and easier inspection in maintaining optimum performance of the internal mechanism.
