Ball float steam trap is a mechanical device where a trap works due to steam density difference. In this device, a valve holds a floating trap ball. When the valve body is filled with liquid it makes the ball float on the liquid. An iron rod is used to connect the floating ball to the valve gate so that it can open the valve gate as the ball floats upwards.
Design Feature:
-Immediate condensate discharge with clean, tight shut-off. No backup of condensate ensures maximum plant efficiency
-Works efficiently on both heavy and light loads with no passage of live steam
-Not affected by wide and sudden fluctuations of pressure or flow rate
-Stainless steel internals that can tolerate corrosive condensate
-Integral air vent to ensure rapid warm-up of plant
- Robust construction to guarantee long life against water hammer and vibration
