Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the TLV 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.
If detailed instructions for special order specifications or options not contained in this
manual are required, please contact TLV for full details.
This instruction manual is intended for use with the model(s) listed on the front cover. It is
necessary not only for installation but for subsequent maintenance,
disassembly/reassembly and troubleshooting. Please keep it in a safe place for future
reference.
