Installation of TD42 Thermodynamic Steam Trap

GOOLE  TD42 Thermodynamic Steam Trap features high quality and perfect apperace. Steam trap installation is very important for valve users. Today we introduce you installation steps and methods of TD42 Thermodynamic Steam Trap.

Remarks:

As for Installation and Maintenance Instructions, name-plate and Technical Information Sheet, check that the product is suitable for the intended installation:

 1. Firstly,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.

 2. Then determine the correct installation situation and the direction of fluid flow.

 3. Now,start to remove protective covers from all connections and protective film from all  name-plates, where appropriate, before installation on steam or other high temperature applications.

 4. The trap should preferably be installed in the horizontal plane, with a small drop leg preceding it. Suitable isolation valves must be installed to allow for safe maintenance and trap replacement. Consideration should be given to a suitable method for testing the correct operation of the trap. This may be a sight glass or a Spiratec system. Sight glasses must be positioned a minimum of 1 m (3 ft) downstream of any blast-action traps. Where the trap discharges into a closed return system, a non-return valve should be fitted downstream to prevent return flow.

 5.  Make sure Isolation valves must be installed to allow for safe maintenance and trap replacement.

 6.  Always open isolation valves slowly until normal operating conditions are achieved -  this will avoid system shocks.

 7. At last, check for leaks and correct operation.

Remarks:  If the trap is to discharge to atmosphere ensure it is to a safe place, the discharging fluid may be at a temperature of 100°C (212°F).
