Thermodynamic disc steam traps discharge the condensate intermittently near the saturation temperature. The traps may operate until a back pressure of 80% of the inlet pressure, but for smooth operation it is recommended that the back pressure does not exceed 50% of the inlet pressure.
Thermodynamic steam traps of the series SV are designed for special applications in the food, pharmaceutical or other industries or for laundry applications where costs and space must be saved.
