DM6/DM12

DS12
Operation
On
initial start up the steam system, large amounts of cold condensate
and air are present in the system. At this point the bimetallic
strip of the delta element relaxes and fully opens the valve assembly
to quickly expel the high volume of non-condensate gases and cold
condensate through the discharge port.
As the element senses an increase in the condensate temperature
the bimetal expands and raises the stem to modulate the flow.
Just below the temperature of saturated steam the seat will close
tightly to prevent live steam from discharging.
Application
A line of lightweight, yet rugged steam traps that provide modulating
discharge of light condensate loads without the loss of live steam.
These traps feature energy-efficient operation with excellent
start up capacities for services with differential pressures up
to 150 PSI. The DS12 features sealed stainless steel construction
while the DM6/DM12 are fully maintainable.
