Item Features
Thermostatic traps are normally open allowing fast venting of air during start-up.
During start-up, cold condensate drains through the trap, as temperatures reach 10 to 30 deg F of saturation, the thermostatic bellows element closes the trap.
During operation, thermostatic traps find an equilibrium point to drain condensate approximately 10 deg to 30 deg F below saturation at continuous flow.
Sub-cools condensate usually 10 deg to 30 deg F.
Normally open at start-up to provide fast air venting.
Follows steam saturation curve to operate over wide range of conditions.
Self-draining.
Energy efficient.
Fast response to changing conditions.
Fail mode is open.
Water hammer can damage bellows.
Superheat can damage bellows if it exceeds trap temperature rating.
Cooling leg required in some applications.
Brass bodies provide resistance to moderate water hammer and chemical attack.
Stainless steel Dura-Stata modules are easily replaced without disturbing piping connections.
Compact size reduces installation space requirements.
