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 Existing Mechanical Pump* | 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.
