GT5C
Compact mechanical pump with steam trap designed to eliminate stall
TLV is pleased to announce the newest addition to the PowerTrap® family, the GT5C. The TLV Powertrap® series helps prevent heat exchanger stall when process steam pressure drops below system back pressure.
Members of the PowerTrap® family help provide stable temperature control, prevent water hammer, and reduce maintenance costs due to damage or corroded tube bundles. They also provide effective condensate recovery, reducing boiler fuel costs due to energy recovery, reducing water treatment costs due to recovered water, and reducing effluent treatment and disposal costs.
