Heavy-duty steam traps

TK kuuluu ns. suurteholauhteenpoistimien kategoriaan. SEn kapasitteetti voi olla useita kymmeniä tonneja lauhdetta tunnissa.

In some processes, the condensate quantities are especially high, often many tonnes per hour. In this case, even the capacity of heavy-duty float steam traps is not sufficient. For such applications, GESTRA has designed a compact TK heavy-duty steam trap with a condensate discharge capacity of even above 100,000 kg/h.

Seat-operated steam trap with thermostatic pilot control

Regarding its construction, the TK is a steam trap with thermostatic pilot control. In the first phase of the condensate discharge, it is controlled by mono-membrane regulators from thermostatic MK steam traps, but the actual condensate discharge will be performed by a main valve integrated in the trap that contains a separate seat and a seat insert.

As the name refers, GESTRA TK is perfect for applications with large condensate volumes. Due to its operating principle, the condensate line should be designed as descending.
