Fluid Control Equipment

PowerTrap® (Compact)

GT5C

Applications

  • Multi-bank steam air heaters
  • Air handling units, air fan heaters
  • Small heat exchangers with widely fluctuating loads
  • Heaters with brazing that might be damaged by stall conditions
  • Equipment in which water hammer can be heard

Stall Condition Symptoms and Potential GT5C Solution

  • Water Hammer
  • Sub-cooled Temperature (cold)
  • Tube Leaks, Joint Leaks
  • Stratified Coil
  • Temperature Swings
  • Corrosion

Compact Fusion of Mechanical Pump and Steam Trap with Low Filling Head

The Powertrap® GT5C is an incredibly compact mechanical pump with a steam trap to discharge condensate not only when pressure inside the equipment is high, but also pumping out condensate by using steam as a motive medium when the pressure inside the equipment is low. The GT5C also enables simplified piping in comparison to existing mechanical pumps.

Installation Piping Example for GT5C*

Reduces Installation Space, Time, and Cost

  • Only motive medium intake pipe required - no exhaust pipe necessary
  • Inlet/outlet piping is linear, streamlined and efficient allowing for easy replacement of existing steam trap
  • Built-in air vent and check valves reduce external installation

Condensate Outlet Height of 170 mm

  • Usable with low condensate outlet heat exchangers

Easy Maintenance

  • Inlet/outlet check valves and motive medium intake valve unit are removable while connected to the piping
  • These valves/units can be removed by loosening two bolts
  • The body can be disassembled by removing six bolts while still connected to the piping

* Actual installation differs depending on the desired discharge capacity and operating conditions, etc.
