PowerTrap® GP10 / GP10L

The PowerTrap® is a pump that transports condensate, powered by pressure from steam or compressed air without the use of electricity.

It is ideal for use on open systems* in which the waste heat and water resources from condensate discharged from multiple steam-using equipment are collected and recovered.

* for closed systems, see GT10.

Features

• Powered by steam or compressed air, no need for electricity
• Mechanical pump, suitable for use in areas requiring explosion-proof
• No fear of cavitation
• Inline maintenance possible
• Compact, space-saving (GP10L)

GP10 / GP10L Benefits

Instantaneous switching between motive medium / exhaust valves

• Unique snap-action mechanism instantaneously opens or closes motive medium inlet and exhaust valves. This prevents leakage of motive medium and valve / valve seat erosion that tend to occur with crank mechanism types.
• Stainless steel internal parts and durable compression coil spring.

Easy Maintenance

• Maintenance is possible without removal of piping.
• Fast and easy cleaning of intake valve, which is easily prone to scale build up, by simply opening a plug to remove (GP10).

Stainless steel check valves for durability.

• Newly-developed high-capacity CK3MG and CKF3MG check valves (CKF3MG for flanged GP10).
• Improved durability, quiet operation and reduced return hammer after condensate discharge.
• Center-guided for maximum reliability, even with dirty condensate.

• Remove condensate from vacuum pressure system

Open System

Key Points

Benefits

• Can collect and transport condensate from multiple equipment
• Suitable for use on equipment situated at low levels

Notes

• Requires installation of a separate steam trap for each equipment
• Requires a vent line to discharge flash steam to atmosphere
