UKL's Double Orifice Ball Float Trap is designed to discharge condensate near the steam saturation temperature. It operates based on the principle of buoyancy and the density difference between water and steam. As the condensate level rises, the float elevates and opens the valve, allowing the discharge of condensate. Conversely, when the level of condensate drops, the float falls, and the valve closes the trap.
The double orifice float trap module suppliers in Pune is commonly used in various process heating applications, especially where steam is used for indirect heating purposes. Typically, these traps are of mechanical design. The Double Orifice Float Trap (DOFT M) is a mechanical type with continuous discharge. It features a double orifice pin connected to a single float through a unique interlink lever bracket arrangement. This design allows the trap to efficiently handle different load conditions, such as initial load, running load, and peak load.
Steam contains two types of heat: latent heat and sensible heat. However, condensate only contains sensible heat. It is crucial to remove condensate as soon as it is formed to ensure efficient heat transfer and prevent water hammer phenomena. Water hammer occurs when hot water, which has a higher specific gravity, moves at a high velocity alongside steam (which is 8 to 10 times faster than water). The momentum of the steam-carried hot water can lead to pipe ruptures and damage to the plant's pipelines and equipment. Therefore, the use of steam traps to remove condensate from the steam main and trap steam is essential.
Additionally, the The double orifice float trap module suppliers in Pune is equipped with an in-built inlet isolation valve, outlet isolation valve, by-pass valve, and integral strainer, providing added convenience and ease of maintenance. The trap can be provided with an SLR valve seat arrangement or a thermostatic vent (TV). The TV ensures effective removal of air and other undissolved gases from the condensate, automatically venting them out when present.
With these features, UKL's Ball Float Trap and The double orifice float trap module suppliers in Pune are reliable and efficient solutions for condensate removal in steam systems, ensuring effective heat transfer and preventing water hammer in indirect heating applications.
