Condensate Recovery Pump for Closed Systems Get a QuotePrintable PDF Overview PowerTrap® GT This pump is mechanically operated with steam or compressed and does not require electricity. Effective at eliminating pooled condensate from inside equipment. The PowerTrap® is capable of discharging condensate under conditions in which a steam trap alone would not suffice. Suitable for use on closed systems* for the complete recovery of condensate heat and water from steam-using equipment. * for open systems, see: GP10 Features and Benefits Features Powered by steam or compressed air, no need for electricity Mechanical pump, suitable for use in explosion-proof installations Cavitation-free Built-in trap allows for use on applications where pressures fluctuate from vacuum pressures to positive pressures. Inline maintenance possible Compact, space-saving (GT10L) GT Series Benefits Built-in steam trap Internal high-capacity steam trap When the GT inlet pressure is greater than back pressure, the GT acts as a steam trap, continuously discharging condensate. When the GT inlet pressure is less than back pressure, the GT acts as a mechanical pump, forcing out the condensate. Automatically switches between pump and trap operation, with no need for steam trap sizing. 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 the motive medium and valve / valve seat erosion that tends to occur with crank mechanism pumps. Stainless steel internal parts and durable compression coil spring. Easy Maintenance No need to detach from piping to perform maintenance. Fast and easy cleaning of intake valve, which is prone to scale build up, by simply opening a plug to remove (GT10). Stainless steel check valves for durability. Newly-developed high-capacity CK3MG and CKF3MG check valves (CKF3MG for flanged GT10). Improved durability, quiet operation and reduced return hammer after condensate discharge. Center-guided for maximum reliability, even with dirty condensate. Applications Applications Transport of high temperature condensate Pumping of condensate from low-pressure areas to high-pressure areas Removal of condensate from vacuum pressure system Closed System Key Points Benefits Steam trap is built-in, no need for external trap No flash steam discharge Small reservoir; smaller than receiver on open systems Notes As it contains a steam trap, one PowerTrap® system should be used for each area where there is steam-using equipment. There is a minimum height requirement to ensure that condensate flows naturally, by gravity, to the GT10 / GT10L (GT10: approx. 1 m, GT10L: approx. 0.5 m) General Configuration Piping Example Operation Animation Lineup Model Appearance Max Operating Pressure (barg) Max Operating Temperature (°C) Specifications GT5C 5 185 388 kb GT10 10.5 185 153 kb GT10L 10.5 185 165 kb GT14 14 200 203 kb GT14L 14 220 232 kb GT14M 14 220 190 kb
