Description
The Barnes & Jones In-linefloat & thermostatic traps
Series FTI-2000are designed for all types of low
pressureor vacuum steam heating systems and steam
process equipment. Typical applications include; unit
heaters, space heaters, water heaters, pressing
machines, low pressuremains and risers, and
replacement of inefficient inverted bucket traps.
In-linefloat and thermostatic traps are especiallywell
suited for apartments, hospitals, office buildings, and
schools or wherever quiet operation is necessary.
Operation
The opening and closing of the valve is caused by
changes in the condensate level within the trap shell.
MATER IALS
"-_./
When the water level drops, the weight of the float
closesthevalve.Ascondensateenters the traps, the
float rises and opens the valve, allowing the condensate
to be discharged. The float is designed to provide
sufficient buoyancy to overcome the differential
pressure across the valve. The internal float and valve
configuration is such that the condensate level is always
above the valve, creating a continuous water seal at the
seat.
Air and other gases are freely discharged as they reach
the trap through the air vent. The calibrated thermostatic
element will close the air vent immediatelywhen the
temperature surrounding the element reaches saturated
steam temperature.
Construction
Barnes & Jones In-line float and thermostatic traps are
compact, of rugged design, with easy access to all
interior parts. The body is cast with In-line pipe
connections for simple straight through pipe hook-ups.
The air vent valve, seat, and the complete valve
mechanism are manufactured from stainless steel.The
repair kit consists of a complete, factory assembled head
which simply bolts on to the body for ease of repair. No
pipe connections need to be broken.
