GGG40 Lever Float Type Steam Trap Specially Used In Steam System
This is a lever float steam trap, which is specially used in steam
systems. It automatically discharges condensate and retains steam.
The following is a breakdown of the structure, principle, and
parameters:
Core structure & working logic
Valve body (blue body):
Material "GGG40": ductile iron, pressure-resistant and temperature-resistant
(suitable for high temperature and high pressure of steam systems).
The blue surface is a high-temperature anti-corrosion coating (to
prevent steam condensate from corroding the valve body).
Casting parameters:
PN16: Pressure resistance level 1.6MPa (common pressure in steam
systems, to ensure that the valve does not leak in steam
environments).
DN25: Nominal diameter 25mm (suitable for branch pipes of steam
pipelines, such as steam branches of workshop equipment).
Float + lever (hidden inside):
The "heart" of the trap: There is a float in the valve body, connected to the lever
mechanism. In the steam system, condensate is heavier than steam
and will sink and gather. The float rises with the condensate, and
the drain is opened by the lever to discharge the condensate. Steam
is light, the float sinks, the drain is closed, and the steam is
retained (avoiding steam leakage and waste).
Application Scenarios & Value
Steam heating: Thermal power plants, community heating boilers, before steam is
delivered to residents, the steam trap discharges the condensate in
the pipeline (otherwise the cold water circulates and the heating
is not hot).
Industrial steam equipment: steam irons in printing and dyeing factories, steam sterilizers in
food factories, steam traps ensure that the equipment only uses
"dry steam" to work (residual condensate will cause uneven heating
of the equipment and incomplete sterilization).
Energy-saving core: Steam is a precious energy (coal/natural gas is burned to produce
steam), and the steam trap "only discharges condensate and retains
steam" can reduce the energy cost of the enterprise (for example,
in printing and dyeing factories, steam traps save 10%-20% of steam
consumption each year).
Advantages compared to ordinary steam traps
✔️ Accurate drainage: Float + lever mechanism, only responds to
"condensate height", more stable than mechanical steam traps (such
as thermodynamic type) (thermodynamic type is easily affected by
steam pressure fluctuations and accidentally discharges steam).
✔️ Good pollution resistance: Steam condensate is generally cleaner
(cleaner than sewage), and float steam traps are not easy to clog
(suitable for the "clean condensate" scenario of steam system).
In a word: This is the "energy-saving housekeeper" of the steam
system-relying on the float to judge "water/steam", only discharge
wastewater, retain energy, and make steam equipment efficient and
save money!
