Ball Float Traps

Steam used for secondary heating like Coils, vessels, heat exchangers, etc, generate a lot of condensate post-heat transfer. This large quantity of condensate can handle by a Ball Float Trap. This condensate has a substantial heat component with cost tagged to it. Also this is treated and pure water and can be used as Feed water for the Boiler, saving the cost of heating, Water Bill, and Treatment chemicals. Therefore it makes sense to recycle/reuse this condensate. This function is also done by the Ball Float Trap.

UKL Ball Float Trap discharge condensate near to steam saturation temperature, which works on the principle of Buoyancy, [densities difference of Water and Steam]. The rising condensate level elevates the Float opens the valve and discharges the condensate, and reverse, when the level of condensate drops, the valve close the trap.

The working principle of this trap can also be used as Auto Air Moisture Drain, as Air Eliminator in a liquid line, as well as for lifting condensate, as a pump.
