  • Page 3: Introduction

    Introduction Thank you for purchasing the TLV float dynamic steam trap. This product has been thoroughly inspected before being shipped from the factory. When the product is delivered, before doing anything else, check the specifications and external appearance to make sure nothing is out of the ordinary. Also be sure to read this manual carefully before use and follow the instructions to be sure of using the product properly.
  • Page 4: Safety Considerations

    • The three types of cautionary items above are very important for safety: be sure to observe all of them as they relate to installation, use, maintenance and repair. Furthermore, TLV accepts no responsibility for any accidents or damage occurring as a result of failure to observe these precautions.
  • Page 5 Caution Be sure to use only the recommended components when repairing the product, and NEVER attempt to modify the product in any way. Failure to observe these precautions may result in damage to the product and burns or other injury due to malfunction or the discharge of fluids. Caution Use only under conditions in which no freeze-up will occur.
  • Page 6: Points To Be Noted For Piping Installation

    The horizontal section of the trap outlet piping should be fitted with an eccentric increaser. Both horizontal and vertical sections of the outlet piping should be without sharp bends and sized according to the condensate load and velocity, The TLV Engineering Calculator or ToolBox application, “Condensate Recovery Pipe Sizing for Condensate Recovery Line by Velocity”...
  • Page 7 Furthermore, safe and stable operation must be ensured by supporting the piping firmly. Consult with TLV in case of difficulties with piping arrangement.
  • Page 8: Principles Of Operation

    Principles of Operation Valve Opens: At start-up, air is discharged manually through operation of the air vent valve (a) on the top of the cover. When condensate flows into the product, the float rises due to buoyancy and the condensate flows through the orifice into the cylinder, creating a secondary pressure there.

    Specifications Caution Install properly and DO NOT use this product outside the recommended operating pressure, temperature and other specification ranges. Improper use may result in such hazards as damage to the product or malfunctions that may lead to serious accidents. Local regulations may restrict the use of this product to below the conditions quoted.

    Installation Caution Install properly and DO NOT use this product outside the recommended operating pressure, temperature and other specification ranges. Improper use may result in such hazards as damage to the product or malfunctions that may lead to serious accidents. Local regulations may restrict the use of this product to below the conditions quoted.
  • Page 12 Corrective Measures When a Malfunction Occurs In the event of an abnormality, first carry out the following: • Close the inlet valve and outlet valves. • Open the bypass valve and discharge the condensate from the equipment and pipes using the bypass. Let the trap body cool thoroughly and, being careful of residual pressure and hot condensate, take the appropriate corrective measures in line with the remedial procedures described in the “Troubleshooting”...
  • Page 13: Maintenance

    Periodically (at least biannually) the operation should also be checked by using diagnostic equipment, such as a stethoscope, thermometer, TLV Pocket TrapMan or TLV TrapMan. A complete disassembly and inspection should be performed at least once every 3 years.
  • Page 14 Parts Inspection When parts have been removed, or during periodic inspections, use the following table to inspect the parts and replace any that are found to be defective. Gaskets: Check for warping and damage Screen: Check for warping, clogging and corrosion Piston Ring Set: Check for wear, warping or damage Float: Check for deformation, scratches or dents Orifice: Check for deformation, scratches and wear...
  • Page 15: Operating The Air Vent Valve

    Operating the Air Vent Valve Caution Be sure to use only the recommended components when repairing the product, and NEVER attempt to modify the product in any way. Failure to observe these precautions may result in damage to the product and burns or other injury due to malfunction or the discharge of fluids. The air vent valve stem cannot be removed from the air vent valve body.
  • Page 16 When air enters the piping at start-up, it may accumulate inside the trap and hinder the flow of condensate (air binding). Air binding may also occur during the normal course of trap operation, due to the slow accumulation of air inside the trap. The air vent valve on the top of this trap is to be operated only when air binding has occurred.
  • Page 17: Disassembly/Reassembly

    Disassembly/Reassembly Warning NEVER apply direct heat to the float. The float may explode due to increased internal pressure, causing accidents leading to serious injury or damage to property and equipment. Caution Use hoisting equipment for heavy objects (weighing approximately 20 kg (44 lb) or more). Failure to do so may result in back strain or other injury if the object should fall.

  • Page 20: Instructions For Plug/Holder Disassembly And Reassembly

    Instructions for Plug/Holder Disassembly and Reassembly The seal on the threaded plugs/holders found on TLV products is formed by a flat metal gasket. There are various installation orientations for the gaskets, such as horizontal, diagonal and downward, and the gasket may be pinched in the thread recesses during assembly.
  • Page 21: Troubleshooting

    Troubleshooting Warning NEVER apply direct heat to the float. The float may explode due to increased internal pressure, causing accidents leading to serious injury or damage to property and equipment. Caution When disassembling or removing the product, wait until the internal pressure equals atmospheric pressure and the surface of the product has cooled to room temperature.
