  • NICHOLSON STEAM TRAP

    THERMOSTATICSTEAM TRAPS

    is the originator of the bellows actuatedThermostatic Steam Trap. s thermostaticproduct range spans applications from critical tracingto high capacity process. High sensitivity, immediateair venting and exceptional thermal efficiency are thehallmark of Thermostatic Steam Traps.

  • NICHOLSON STEAM TRAP

    Operating PrincipleThermal actuator is filled at its free length with a liquidhaving a lower boiling point than water. On start-up,valve is normally open. When steam enters trap,thermal actuator fill vaporizes to a pressure higherthan line pressure. This forces valve into seat orificeto prevent any further flow. As condensate collects,it takes heat from thermal actuator, lowering internal

    pressure. Line pressure will then compress thermal actuatorto open valve and discharge condensate. Valve openingautomatically adjusts to load conditions from minimum onvery light loads to full lift at maximum load. Restrictedorifice in N125L (small opening at bottom of valve seat)prevents trap from discharging continuously on light loads.

    OperationThermal actuator is filled at its free length with aliquid having a lower boiling point than water. Asassembled, valve is normally open. When very hotcondensate enters trap, thermal actuator fill vapor-izes to a pressure higher than line pressure. Thisforces valve into seat orifice to prevent any furtherflow. As condensate collects, it takes heat from theactuator, lowering internal pressure. Line pressure

    will then compress thermal actuator to open valve anddischarge condensate. Valve opening automatically adjuststo load conditions from minimum on very light loads to fulllift at maximum load. Restricted orifice in TA501 (smallopening at bottom of valve seat) prevents trap fromdischarging continuously on light loads such as areencountered on tracer lines.

    NICHOLSON STEAM TRAP

    Typical SpecificationSteam trap shall be of balanced pressure design with monelconvoluted actuator or stainless steel welded actuator cap-able of discharging condensate within 10F of saturatedtemperature. Where greater sensitivity is required or protec-tion from flash steam locking, a SLR orifice will be availableto allow condensate and flash steam evacuation at or nearsaturated temperatures. Where subcooling of condensateis desired alternate thermostatic actuator will be availableto allow condensate evacuation at or near 40F belowsaturated temperatures. Thermostatic actuator shall employa conical valve lapped in matched sets with the seat ringassuring tight shut off. A minimum of three orifice sizesshall be available allowing for custom capacity sizing. Trapshall be forged carbon steel Y pattern body with strainerand available blow down valve suitable for pressures to 650psig and available in 1/2" and 3/4" NPT or socketweld.Maximum Operating ConditionsTraps with Monel Convoluted Actuator

  • NICHOLSON STEAM TRAP

    Operating PrincipleThermal actuator is filled at its free length with a liquidhaving a lower boiling point than water. On start-up,valve is normally open. When steam enters trap,thermal actuator fill vaporizes to a pressure higherthan line pressure. This forces valve into seat orificeto prevent any further flow. As condensate collects,

    it takes heat from thermal actuator, lowering internalpressure. Line pressure will then compress thermal actuatorto open valve and discharge condensate. Valve openingautomatically adjusts to load conditions from minimum onvery light loads to full lift at maximum load.
