Condensate Recovery Pump for Open Systems Get a QuotePrintable PDF Overview PowerTrap® GP The 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: GT10 Features and Benefits Features Powered by steam or compressed air, no need for electricity Mechanical pump, suitable for use in explosion-proof areas Cavitation-free Inline maintenance possible Compact, space-saving (GP10L) Optional cycle counter available to assist in monitoring pump cycles, scheduling maintenance, and estimating flow volume. GP Series Benefits Instantaneous switching between motive medium / exhaust valves Unique snap-action mechanism instantaneously opens or closes the motive medium inlet and exhaust valves. This prevents leakage of the motive medium and erosion of the valve/valve seat that tends to occur with crank mechanism pumps. Stainless steel internal parts and durable compression coil spring. Easy Maintenance Maintenance is possible without removal of piping. Fast and easy cleaning of intake valve, which is prone to scale build up, by simply opening a plug to remove (GP10). Stainless steel check valves for durability. Newly-developed high-capacity CK3MG and CKF3MG check valves (CKF3MG for flanged GP10). Improved durability, quiet operation and reduced return hammer after condensate discharge. Center-guided for maximum reliability, even with dirty condensate. Applications Applications Transport high temperature condensate Pump condensate from low-pressure areas to high-pressure areas Remove condensate from vacuum pressure system Open System Key Points Benefits Can collect and transport condensate from multiple equipment Suitable for use on equipment situated at low levels Notes Requires installation of a separate steam trap for each piece of equipment Requires a vent line to discharge flash steam to atmosphere General Configuration Piping Example Operation Animation Lineup Model Appearance Max Operating Pressure (barg) Max Operating Temperature (°C) Specifications GP5C 5 185 555 kb GP10 10.5 185 353 kb GP10F 10.5 220 236 kb GP10L 10.5 185 251 kb GP14 14 200 274 kb GP14L 14 220 268 kb GP14M 14 220 271 kb
