Page 7: Specifications
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. -
Page 8: Operation
Operation Principles of air and condensate discharge: Valve opening & initial condensate discharge At start-up, when a large quantity of condensate flows into the trap, the float (A) rises by buoyancy, opening the pilot orifice (E). Condensate flows through the pilot orifice (E) into the control chamber (F), increasing the pressure there. - Page 9 Float dynamic principle When a large quantity of condensate flows into the trap, the float (A) rises immediately, opening the pilot orifice (E) wide. Condensate passes through the pilot orifice at a high velocity into the control chamber (F), where the pressure increases rapidly due to flashing condensate. The rapid expansion causes a force to be exerted on the main valve (B), opening the large orifice on the main valve seat (C) instantly.

Page 14: 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 15 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, O-rings: Check for warping or damage Sleeve: Check for wear Main Valve Seat (shaft): Check for dirt, oil film, wear or damage Main Valve, Main Valve Seat: Check for build-up or wear on seating surfaces Piston Ring Set: Check for wear, warping or damage Float: Check for deformation, scratches or dents...

Page 16: 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 17 Disassembly/Reassembly of the Main Valve Unit and its Components Part Name & No. During Disassembly During Reassembly Valve Cover Bolt Remove with a socket wrench Coat threads with anti-seize; tighten evenly, being careful not to tighten one side more than the other; tighten to the proper torque Valve Cover 9 Remove the cover...
