Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the TLV clean 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 clean steam trap is of a revolutionary design that employs a high-
performance X-element. This is a new type of valve mechanism in which a
thermoliquid is sealed inside the X-element and the valve opens or closes
based on the difference between the saturation temperatures of the
thermoliquid and the water.
The X-element is very sensitive to changes in temperature and responds with
great accuracy, quickly discharging air and the large quantities of condensate
created immediately after operation start-up, thereby greatly reducing start-up
time. It also reacts with great sensitivity to the inflow of large quantities of
condensate and hot air during operation, thus preventing air-binding.
The above-listed superior features of the X-element employed in this clean
steam trap help to increase heating efficiency and reduce manpower
requirements for maintenance and bypass blowdown.
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.
