Page 8: Installation
The BPT13 is designed for installation with the capsule in a horizontal plane with the cap at the top. Ideally, as with all thermostatic steam traps, a drop / cooling leg should be employed to prevent any 'cooling' condensate from backing up into the steam main. -
Page 9: Operation
Heat loss from the trap then cools the water surrounding the capsule, the fill condenses and the capsule contracts, opening the valve and releasing condensate until steam temperature approaches again at which the cycle is repeated.
