Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the
free float steam trap.
This product has been thoroughly inspected before being shipped from the factory. When the
product is delivered, before doing anything else, check the specifications and external
appearance to make sure nothing is out of the ordinary. Also be sure to read this manual
carefully before use and follow the instructions to be sure of using the product properly.
This free float steam trap employs a hinge-less and lever-less free float to rapidly,
automatically and continuously discharge the inflowing condensate that is continuously
generated inside the equipment, thus preventing the accumulation of condensate and thereby
improving the heat transfer efficiency of the equipment.
This steam trap is also of a revolutionary design featuring an integral air vent that employs a
high-performance X-element. The X-element is very sensitive to changes in temperature, and
responds with great accuracy. As a result, air and the large quantities of condensate created
immediately after the start-up of operation are quickly discharged, thereby greatly reducing
start-up time and also proving useful in valve operation (bypass blowdown) labor-saving.
The X-element is also sensitive to hot air during operation, responding quickly and thus
preventing the occurrence of air binding.
These features make this free float steam trap ideally suited for use on process systems and
equipment (steam-using equipment), and it is especially well-suited for removing condensate
from equipment used for batch operations, which often experience entrained air during
operation.
This steam trap also employs a precision-ground float and three-point seating that supports
the float securely at three points and ensures a high degree of sealing when even only minute
quantities of condensate are present.
This combined with the X-element's ability to discharge hot air make this free float steam trap
well-suited for use on trace lines.
