Introduction

Scope of the Manual

This manual provides instructions for installation,
maintenance and parts information for the N650 Series
Thermostatic Steam Traps.

Product Description

A steam trap is an automatic valve which discharges
condensate, undesirable air and non-condensibles
from a system while trapping, or holding in, steam.
Thermostatic steam traps operate in direct response to
the temperature within the trap.
WARNING
Figure 1. N650 Series Thermostatic Steam Trap
N650 Series is a balanced pressure design
with stainless steel welded actuator capable of
discharging condensate within 10°F / -12°C of
saturated temperature.
For greater sensitivity or protection from flash steam
locking, SLR orifice is available to allow condensate
and flash steam evacuation at or near saturated
temperatures. If subcooling of condensate is desired,
alternate thermostatic actuator is available to allow
condensate evacuation at or near 40°F / 4.4°C below
saturated temperatures.
Thermostatic actuator has a conical valve lapped in
matched sets with the seat ring assuring tight shut off.
A minimum of four orifice sizes is available allowing
for custom capacity sizing. Trap is forged carbon steel
Y pattern body with strainer and blow down valve
suitable for pressures up to 650 psig / 44.8 bar and
available in NPS 1/2 and 3/4 / DN 15 to 20 in NPT or
socket weld end connection.
