Description
The Watson McDaniel WT2003-13-N Thermostatic Steam Trap is a general purpose medium-capacity thermostatic trap that can be used for steam tracing, as a drip trap on steam mains and steam supply lines, as well as for process applications. They are also commonly used as an Air Vent on heat exchangers or at the ends of steam mains. Thermostatic traps are small, light weight, operate over a wide pressure range, and have excellent air handling capabilities. Discharging air at start-up allows steam to quickly enter the system. All stainless steel construction and integral strainer, make the WT2000 an excellent choice for a variety of applications. Trap body is permanently seal welded together and therefore non-repairable. Contains an extremely strong and rugged precision welded Stainless Steel thermal element which is highly resistant to waterhammer.
This thermostatic trap contains a welded stainless steel thermal element that expands when heated and contracts when cooled to 5?F below saturated steam temperature. When air or sub-cooled condensate are present, the trap is in the open discharge position. When steam reaches the trap, the element expands and closes off tightly.
WT2003 Features:
- Thermostatic traps are excellent at discharging air, which allows steam to enter quickly; extremely important during start-up
- Integral strainer to protect trap from contamination
- Welded stainless steel thermal element resists shock from waterhammer
- Freeze-proof when trap is installed in a vertical orientation allowing for complete condensate drainage
- Body is produced from stainless steel investment casting
- Hardened stainless steel seat for extended service life
- Will operate at steam pressures up to 650 PSIG
