Bimetal condensate drain
Bimetal condensate drains are temperature control drains that do not follow the saturated steam curve . The discharge temperature is regulated manually so that these arresters can be used and installed in a wide variety of systems: wherever subcooling is possible and wherever heat savings and expansion steam reductions are necessary.
Applications
The steam traps , known for their robustness, are suitable for reducing steam consumption in the main steam lines and trace heating and enable energy savings . They are used for the drainage of superheated steam and steam lines as well as for trace heating and storage tank heating or as a frost protection valve for freezing protection on condensate lines.
Working method
The opening and closing of the valve is controlled by a bimetal that reacts to changes in temperature.
