PowerTrap® (Mechanical Pump)

GP Series

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 in open systems* which collect condensate from steam-using equipment for the purposes of recovering heat energy and recycling treated water.

*for closed systems, see: GT Series PowerTrap®

Benefits and Features

Energy Conservation
  • Recovers and transports condensate in order to recycle heat energy and water resources.
  • The snap-action mechanism rapidly switches between condensate in-flow to the mechanical pump and discharging the condensate, preventing delay-induced leakage of motive medium (steam, air).
'Stall' Prevention
  • The steam-using equipment installing the control valve has a tendency to stall, resulting in process temperature swings, water hammer, and/or tube corrosion.
  • By installing PowerTrap®, this stall phenomenon can be prevented.
Easy to Operate
  • The unit is powered by steam or air, so there is no need for electrical facilities, which makes it suitable for use in explosion-proof installations and other environments where electrical power supply is not an option.
  • Designed to allow maintenance without being removed from condensate recovery lines.

Application Areas

  • Transport high temperature condensate
  • Reboilers, heat exchangers, cylinder dryers, etc.
  • Remove condensate from vacuum pressure system
