3. Installation

Note: Before actioning any installation observe the 'Safety information' in Section 1.

Referring to the Installation and Maintenance Instructions, name-plate and Technical

Information Sheet, check that the product is suitable for the intended installation:

3.1 Check materials, pressure and temperature and their maximum values. If the maximum

operating limit of the product is lower than that of the system in which it is being ﬁtted,

ensure that a safety device is included in the system to prevent overpressurisation.

3.2 Determine the correct installation situation and the direction of fluid flow.

A typical installation is shown in Figure 2, page 9.

3.3 Remove protective covers from all connections and protective ﬁlm from all name-plates,

where appropriate, before intallation on steam or other high temperature applications.

3.4 The preferred installation is in a horizontal pipe with the name-plate uppermost.

The trap will operate in other positions, but the service life may be affected! The

installation should have a small drop leg preceding the trap. Access for removal of

the integral strainer screen should also be provided.

3.5 Suitable isolation valves must be installed to allow for safe maintenance and trap

replacement.

Where the trap discharges into a closed return system a non-return valve should be ﬁtted

downstream to prevent ﬂow.

3.6 Always open isolation valves slowly until normal operating conditions are achieved - this

will avoid system shocks. Check for leaks and correct operation.

3.7 Always ensure the correct tools, safety procedures and protective equipment are used

at all times.

3.8 The disc and seating surfaces of these traps have been produced to a high degree of

ﬂatness to achieve good shut-off under high pressure conditions. An integral strainer

helps prevent dirt and scale from entering the trap. If particles become entrapped between

the disc and seat, the high flow velocities can cause rapid wear and erosion. A separate

strainer and /or dirt pocket will provide additional protection.

3.9 When a socket weld or butt weld trap is being installed the welding should be carried

out to an approved proceedure of a recognised standard.

Note: If the trap is to discharge to atmosphere ensure it is to a safe place, the discharging

ﬂuid may be at a temperature of 100°C (212°F).

IM-P150-07 ST Issue 48

5. Operation

The TD120 is a thermodynamic steam trap which uses a disc to control the release of

condensate and to trap steam. The trap cycles open and closed to discharge condensate,

close to steam temperature, and closes tight between discharges.

The disc, which is the only moving part, rises and falls in response to dynamic forces produced

by the partial re-evaporation (ﬂashing) of hot condensate. Cool condensate, air and other

non-condensible gases enters the trap through the central oriﬁce, lifts the disc, and discharges

through the outlet oriﬁce. When the condensate approaches steam temperature, a portion of it

ﬂashes as it enters the trap. The ﬂash steam passes at high velocity over the underside of the

disc and collects in the control chamber above. The resulting pressure imbalance, forces the

disc downward onto the seating surfaces, stopping the ﬂow. The trap remains tightly closed

until the loss of heat through the trap body lowers the control chamber pressure, allowing the

inlet pressure to raise the disc and repeat the cycle.

4.1 Commissioning with particular reference to venting air

Initial start-up can take several hours (or days) to bring the system to normal operating

pressure and temperature. Even if the trap has replaced another trap while the main system

has remained running, it may still be necessary to vent air from the drop leg. If the trap is

some distance from stop valve 'A' (Figure 2), it could be possible to air lock the pipework

between valve 'A' and the trap (i.e. the trap closes to air and does not readily allow steam to

enter the pipework). To overcome this on start-up the following procedure should be adopted.

With the stop valve 'B' closed, drain valve 'C' open, slowly and partially open stop valve 'A'.

This will discharge the air, condensate and any pipe debris.

Valve 'C' should then be fully closed, and valves 'A' and 'B' slowly opened to the fully open

position. When the trap is more than 2 m (6 ft) away from the vertical drain leg, a suitable drop

leg at the inlet to the trap can improve its service life by ensuring that the trap does not see a

mixture of steam and condensate.

Important note

After the trap has been in service at normal operating pressure and temperature for

24 hours, it is essential that the cover nuts be retightened (see Table 1, page 11). This will

ensure the correct compression of the gasket under service conditions.

Note:

Before actioning any maintenance programme observe the 'Safety information' in

Section 1.

Warning

The cover gasket contains a thin stainless steel support ring which may cause physical

injury if not handled and disposed of carefully.

6.1 How to ﬁt the disc:

- Unscrew the four nuts (8) and remove the top cover.

- Lift off the disc (2).

- Fit a new disc making sure that the body seating surface (6) is not unduly worn. If the body

seating surface is only slightly worn it can be refaced by lapping individually on a ﬂat

surface such as a surface plate.

If the wear is too great to be rectiﬁed by simple lapping, the seating faces on the body must

be ground ﬂat and then lapped. The total amount of metal removed in this way should not

exceed 0.25 mm.

- Reassemble the cover using a new gasket (7), making sure that the gasket faces are perfectly

clean. Ensure that the name-plate is placed over the studs prior to reassembling nuts.

- Retighten the cover nuts (8) to the recommended tightening torques (see Table 1).

- After 24 hours in service, and when reassembling, the nuts should be tightened in a diagonally

opposite sequence.

- Open the isolation valves slowly until normal operating conditions are achieved.

- Check for leaks.

6.2 How to clean or replace the strainer:

- Access to the strainer screen can be obtained by undoing the nuts (8) and removing the

bottom cover.

- Remove the strainer screen (4).

- Fit the new or cleaned strainer screen into the recess on the underside of the cover.

- A new gasket (7) should be ﬁtted and the cover reﬁtted.

- Retighten the cover nuts (8) to the recommended tightening torques (see Table 1).

- After 24 hours in service, and when reassembling, the nuts should be tightened in a diagonally

opposite sequence.

- Open the isolation valves slowly until normal operating conditions are achieved.

- Check for leaks.

6.3 To replace the cover studs:

- After removing the old cover studs, ﬁt new cover studs until the studs bottom out. The use

of a thread lubricant is recommended.

Note: Two sets of studs are included when the spares are supplied. For traps with flat topped

covers, the long studs should be used. For traps with proﬁled forged covers, the shorter

studs should be used.
