(flowrate). The float trap continues to discharge condensate continuously. At higher flow rate conditions (like start up ) the float rises further to open second orifice in case of TOFT and doesn't allow back up of condensate as long as the load is within the discharge capacity.

Startup and Commissioning 6.1 Flushing of Lines (Refer to Figure 4) As part of pre-installation all fluid handling equipment particularly piping should be thoroughly cleaned of scale and the internal debris which accumulates during construction. This is accomplished by blowing or flushing with air, steam, water and other suitable medium.

Failure Mode Remedy Check parameters and trap sizing. The trap will not discharge enough condensate if the actual size is below the recommended size based on the condensate load. Check for back pressure and corresponding discharge capacities as per the capacity charts. i) Replace/repair the leaking and non- working traps with working traps, the leak traps may create/increase...
