S - Ball float steam traps
5.0 Installation
5.1 General notes on installation
The following points should be taken into account besides the general principles governing
installation work:
- Planners / construction companies or operators are responsible for positioning and
installing products.
5.2 Controller adjustment
The controller is produced in only one pressure stage and does not need changing.
5.3 Steam trap testing through ultrasonic measurement
Testing the operation of the steam trap in the installed state is straightforward with the
“ARImetec
®
-S” multifunction tester.
Refer to data sheet „ARImetec
®
-S “.
ATTENTION !
- Remove flange covers if present.
- The interior of valve and pipeline must be free from foreign particles.
- It is possible to install the float steam trap for vertical or horizontal flow. Note
installation position with reference to flow, see mark on valve.
- Steam line systems should be designed to prevent water accumulation.
- Lay pipelines so that damaging transverse, bending and torsional forces are
avoided.
- Protect valves from dirt during construction work.
- Connection flanges must mate precisely.
- Valves must not be used to take external forces, e.g. they are not designed for
use as climbing aids, or as connecting points for lifting gear.
- Suitable materials handling and lifting equipment should be used.
See data sheet for weights.
- Centre gaskets between the flanges.
- Precautions against freezing should be taken in any facilities susceptible to
frost. If a system not in operation is in a position susceptible to freezing, we
recommend that the drain plug (Pos. 50) on the unpressurised steam trap be
unscrewed, the residual condensate drained off, the seal faces cleaned and the
plug screwed down again.
The sealing ring (Pos. 49) should be replaced if necessary.
