The Thermodynamic Steam Trap is simple and compact with a single moving part (disc) which opens to discharge condensate and closes in the presence of steam. Body materials are available in Stainless and Alloy Steels for pressures up to 3,600 psig. It is widely used in higher pressure drip applications and critical tracing applications where condensate back-up is not permitted.
Applications: Draining condensate from steam mains and steam supply lines. They can also be used for steam tracing applications.
The WT3000 is a Medium Capacity Thermostatic steam trap which was specifically designed for removing condensate and air from process applications. The Body is made from Stainless Steel and is fully repairable while the product remains in-line. Repair is done by removing the cover and replacing the seat and thermal element. Specific models have an optional strainer (WT3000S) and optional Blowdown Valve (WT3000SB) for cleaning strainer. They are available in 1/2, 3/4 and 1 NPT or SW connections.
