FAQ's of Spirax Thermostatic Steam Trap:
Q: How does the Spirax Thermostatic Steam Trap operate without external power?
A: The steam trap uses an internal thermostatic capsule that responds to temperature changes, opening and closing the valve automatically. This eliminates the need for electrical or pneumatic power, providing reliable and energy-efficient condensate discharge.
Q: What are the benefits of near-to-steam temperature discharge in this steam trap?
A: Near-to-steam temperature discharge ensures condensate is removed just before it reaches steam temperature. This maximizes energy savings and prevents steam loss, enhancing both process efficiency and equipment longevity.
Q: When should the internal parts of the Spirax Thermostatic Steam Trap be replaced?
A: Thanks to its minimal maintenance design, the internals should be checked during routine system inspections or if performance indicators, such as increased backpressure or incomplete condensate removal, are observed. Replacement is straightforward due to the trap's accessible construction.
Q: Where can the Spirax Thermostatic Steam Trap be installed in a steam system?
A: This trap is suitable for installation in both horizontal and vertical piping configurations, offering flexibility in diverse plant layouts and system designs.
Q: What is the maximum capacity, pressure, and temperature that this steam trap can handle?
A: The Spirax Thermostatic Steam Trap supports up to 500 kg/h of condensate, operates at pressures up to 17 bar, and can withstand working temperatures of up to 220C.
Q: How easy is it to maintain or replace components in the Spirax Steam Trap?
A: Maintenance is minimal due to the robust and accessible design. Replacing internal parts is quick and straightforward, ensuring minimal disruption to operations and reducing maintenance costs.
