Function
The following electrodes can be used for monitoring steam traps:
n
Measuring electrodes
NRG 16-27, NRG 16-28
for detecting loss of live steam (electrode exposed)
and banking-up of condensate (by measuring the temperature of the condensate) or
n
Measuring electrode
NRG 16-19
for detecting banking-up of condensate
or
loss of live steam
(electrode exposed or immerged).
The measuring electrode
NRG 16-27, NRG 16-28
works according to the conductivity measurement
principle and detects steam loss (electrode exposed). The equipment is also equipped with a tempe-
rature sensing element PT 1000 for measuring the temperature of the condensate. The measuring
electrode is either screwed into the steam trap to be monitored or in the separate test chamber
VKE
16-1
or
VKE 16 A
mounted upstream of the steam trap.
The measuring electrode
NRG 16-19
works according to the conductivity measurement principle, too.
Depending on the installation the electrode detects either loss of live steam or banking-up of conden-
sate, see
Fig. 11
(top). The measuring electrode is screwed into the test chamber
VKE 16-1, VKE 16 A
(steam loss) or into the test chamber
VKE 26
(banking-up of condensate).
The test chamber
VKE 16-1, VKE 16 A
can be installed upstream of any type or make of steam trap.
With float traps the test chamber
VKE 26
is screwed on top into the vent hole. The air balance pipe is
connected to the test chamber.
The test station NRA 1-3 evaluates the signals coming from the measuring electrodes and indicates
banking-up of condensate, steam loss and malfunctions. The level switch NRS 1-2 can also be
connected to the measuring electrode NRG 16-19.
Description
A faulty steam trap can cause banking-up of condensate or steam loss.
The measuring electrode, which is screwed into the steam trap or a test chamber, detects malfunc-
tions in traps.
The test station NRA 1-3 evaluates the signals coming from the measuring electrodes and is designed
for the connection of up to max. 16 measuring electrodes.
