Bi Metallic Steam Trap

Bi Metallic Steam Trap

UKL Introduces the Bi-Thermostatic Bimetallic steam traps, with corrosion resistant regulator. These Traps are unaffected by water hammer and superheated steam which having balanced pressure valve, independent seat and cone valve, and having a external adjustment device that can be used while the trap is functioning, for temperature and flow discharge. The trap also has an integral Y type Strainer.

The most innovative of the bimetallic steam traps is the bi-thermostatic steam trap of balanced pressure that incorporates two antagonistic [Opposing] thermostats.

The thermostat on top consists of various bimetallic plate pairs guided by the plugs stem, and the Lower thermostat is formed by one bimetallic sheet that leans and is guided in its edges by the body of the steam trap.

The superior [Upper] thermostat expands with the increase in temperature pressing the plug in the closing direction; at the same time, the inferior [lower] thermostat arches itself allowing the movement of the valve in the same direction, effectively resulting in the progressive strangulation of the condensate flow, till it reaches its complete closure.When the condensate temperature decreases the thermostats act inversely, consequently offering a large flow section.
