The choice of trap should be based on the following data:
a) Hourly amount of condensate to be discharged,
b) Effective differential pressure
Safety factor: 1,25 ÷ 1,5 with continuous duty; 2 ÷ 3 with intermittent duty.
3. Installation
Note: Before actioning any installation observe the ‘Safety information’ in Section 1.
Referring to the Installation and Maintenance Instructions, name-plate and Technical Information
Sheet, check that the product is suitable for the intended installation.
3.1
Check materials, pressure and temperature and their maximum values. If the maximum
operating limit of the product is lower than that of the system in which it is being fitted, ensure
that a safety device is included in the system to prevent overpressurisation.
3.2
Determine the correct installation situation and the direction of fluid flow.
3.3
Remove protection covers from all connections before installation.
3.4
The FTC23 trap must be installed below the draining point and respecting the flow direction
as shown on the body and with the float lever positioned on an horizontal plane so that it
can verticallyu rise and lower freely.
3.5
Insert a strainer with an adequate capacity immediately ahead of the trap to prevent damage
to the device’s internal components; in systems with steam recovery, it is recommended to
mount a flow indicator downstream of the trap to check that it is working.
3.6
In order to allow a safe inspection for cleaning or maintenance purpose, install suitable
shut-off valve.
