Cause
Corrective Measure
F.
Faulty
check valve
1. Dirt or scale is
caught in the
pumped medium
inlet check valve or
the valve is worn or
getting hung up
• The operating medium that has been supplied is
leaking from the inlet check valve, preventing the
pressure inside the trap from increasing; as a result,
the pumped medium is not discharged
Disassembly and inspection is required
2. Dirt or scale is
caught in the
pumped medium
outlet check valve
or the valve is worn
or getting hung up
• The discharged pumped medium has flowed back into
the PowerTrap, causing the interval at which the unit
operates to grow shorter and reducing its discharge
capacity
Disassembly and inspection is required
G.
Degradation
or damage
of gasket
and O-ring
1. Damage when
assembling
2. Aging degradation
• When condensate or steam leaks from the
PowerTrap, tighten the bolts with the proper torque or
replace the gasket with a new one.
• When steam leaks into the equipment (to the pumped
medium inlet side) or outlet piping, check the O-ring.
