In Free Float traps, which use no levers or hinges, the float is moved by the buoyant force of the condensate. The distance between the float and the orifice changes in response to the amount of condensate that enters the trap. The float itself acts as the valve head, opening and closing against the seat based on the condensate level in the trap.

Because the Free Float itself - a precision-ground hollow sphere - is the valve, the entire surface of the float functions as the sealing component. This guarantees superior reliability and long service life. For Free Float in general, a constant water seal is present to prevent steam loss under normal operation. For applications involving the almost no-load conditions of superheated steam, the 3-point seated Free Float traps are ideal.

Built-in Automatic Bimetal Air Vent

In typical disc type traps, when air reaches the inlet, the disc is closed and the air cannot be discharged. In the Free Float® Steam Trap Series for Main Lines, the bimetal strip reacts to the condensate temperature. When the bimetal is cold, it holds the float up away from the orifice, which automatically and rapidly discharges any air and cold condensate. This can eliminate the need to open a bypass valve each time the equipment is started up and then close the valve after the line is purged, which saves on the cost of labor.

Thermodynamic Disc steam trap operation may suffer if the trap is exposed to cold air and rain, so to prevent wasteful leakage of steam GOOLE VALVE has developed an air-jacketed pressure chamber model, and for even greater insulation, a steam-jacketed pressure chamber model. The high-precision machined disc valve and valve seat offer excellent sealing properties, preventing wasteful discharge of steam.

Steam Trap Benefits and Features:

  Energy Conservation

      Free float construction. The valve opening is under a continuous water-seal, so no steam can escape through the valve. The float’s 3-point seating holds the float tightly against the valve opening even under small condensate loads such as in superheated steam lines, so no steam is allowed to escape.

  Prevention of Trouble at Start-up

     The automatic air vent design opens the air vent valve at start-up to discharge the low temperature air inside the system when it is started up. This prevents the air-binding that can be caused by initial air.

  Long Service Life

     The high precision spherical float rotates, allowing its entire surface to function as valve sealing surfaces and thus ensuring long service life.
