The Watson McDaniel FDA500 Series thermostatic steam traps are used on clean steam applications as drip traps on piping runs as well as drainage for CIP/SIP systems and various process vessels.
HOW IT WORKS
The thermostatic trap contains a welded 316L stainless steel thermal element that expands when heated and contracts when cooled. When air and condensate are present the trap is in the open discharge position. When steam reaches the trap the element expands closing the trap tightly.
FEATURES
* All wetted parts are 316L stainless steel
* Electro-polish finish of 20-25 microinches RA on internal body
* Electro-polish finish of 25-32 microinches RA on external body
* Operates close to saturation curve to minimize condensate back-up
* Completely self-draining in the vertical downward flow orientation
INSTALLATION
Trap is designed for installation in a vertical, downward flow orientation to ensure that the self-draining clean steam requirement is satisfied. Isolation valves should be installed for maintenance purposes. For welded installations removal of the body gasket and thermal element is necessary.
MAINTENANCE
Dirt is the most common cause of premature failure. Therefore, the upstream strainer should be periodically inspected and cleaned.
