WPT-5

WPT PUMP-TRAP COMBINATIONS ARE EXCELLENT FOR DRAINING CONDENSATE FROM HEAT EXCHANGERS AND OTHER EQUIPMENT WHOSE STEAM PRESSURE IS MODULATED BY A TEMPERATURE REGULATOR OR A TEMPERATURE CONTROL VALVE. IN THESE APPLICATIONS THE STEAM PRESSURE IN THE HEAT EXCHANGER MAY NOT BE SUFFICIENT TO OVERCOME THE BACK PRESSURE IN THE CONDENSATE RETURN LINE. WHEN THIS CONDITION OCCURS, THE PRESSURE POWERED PUMP TAKES OVER AND USES HIGH PRESSURE STEAM SUPPLIED TO THE PUMP TO DISCHARGE THE CONDENSATE. WHEN SUFFICIENT PRESSURE DOES EXIST, THE WPT FUNCTIONS LIKE A STANDARD STEAM TRAP. PUMP-TRAPS FACILITATE CONDENSATE DISCHARGE UNDER ALL OPERATING CONDITIONS, INCLUDING VACUUM.
