e) Slowly open the valve [Vi] on the condensate inlet pipe.
The
PowerTrap
is normal if it operates intermittently; first exhausting the
motive medium to fill with condensate, and then taking in motive medium to
force the condensate out.
•
The interval of operation will vary greatly depending on the amount of condensate
inflow, the temperature, the motive medium (steam or gas) and the motive
pressure. The interval of operation is considered to be the length of time between
the start of one discharge cycle and the start of the next discharge cycle.
•
The interval of operation Tc (s) can be roughly determined using the following
formula:
GP10L-1AJ:
Tc = 21,600/Q
Tc = 47,600/Qp
GP14L-1AJ:
Tc = 28,800/Q
Tc = 63,500/Qp
GP14M-1BJ:
Tc = 45,000/Q
Tc = 99,200/Qp
GP10-1CJ/GP10-2FJ: Tc = 108,000/Q
Tc = 238,000/Qp
Q : amount of inflowing condensate (kg/h)
Qp: amount of inflowing condensate (lb/h)
•
The GP10L, GP14L, GP14M and GP10 condensate discharge capacity for each
discharge operation is listed below. The amount of time required for each
discharge operation will be between 3 and 30 seconds, depending on the back
pressure and the motive medium pressure.
GP10L-1AJ:
approx. 6 liters (1.6 U.S. gal)
GP14L-1AJ:
approx. 8 liters (2.1 U.S. gal)
GP14M-1AJ:
approx. 12.5 liters (3.3 U.S. gal)
GP10-1CJ/GP10-2FJ*: approx. 30 liters (8 U.S. gal)
*Value per GP10
(2) If an error such as a leak or water hammer occurs after beginning operation of the
system package, shut off the valves immediately in the following order:
valve [Vm] on the motive medium supply pipe
→
valve [Vi] on the condensate inlet
pipe
→
valve [Vo] on the condensate outlet pipe
→
valve [Ve] on the exhaust pipe.
(3) Whenever any type of malfunction is suspected in the system package, refer to the
"Troubleshooting" in the corresponding product’s instruction manual, as shown
below:
