Bitherm - Model UTG2S / UTG2STi -Bithermostatic Bimetalic Steam Trap
Bi-Thermostatic bimetallic steam trap, with corrosion resistant regulator unaffected by waterhammer and superheated steam. Balanced pressure valve. Independent seat and shutter, and external adjustment device while running for temperature and flow discharge. Strainer type "Y".
The fact that both, valve and seat, be independent and located in the low flow discharge area, reduces erosion and extends the life of the trap. The condensate discharge is controlled by bimetallic thermostat, continuously adjusting to changes of condensate flow. Automatic air venting. Installation in any position. The independence of the valve and seat reduces dramatically the costs of its spare parts, joined to the fact that it has an external adjustment device while running, makes an extremely low maintenance cost steam trap.
During the start-up, the condensate is cold and the bimetals are flat. When the temperature starts to rise the bimetals will expand producing the progressive closure of the valve. In this way the steam trap is able to adjust itself to changing conditions because if the pressure rises, the higher pressure acts on the valve but at the same time the higher temperature will act on the bimetals. Its quick automatic air venting prevents air binding. The valve is placed on the upper stream far from the flash steam zone, this avoids erosion and waste, contributes to a long effective life and reduces maintenance costs.
