What is the stall phenomenon?

Does your water air conditioner, dryer or heater exhibit signs of water hammer, corrosion or uneven Heating?

These problems could be caused by condensate accumulating in the equipment. This phenomenon is known as 'stall' and causes damage to equipment along with poor product quality if left untreated. As a steam trap cannot discharge condensate during a stall, further investment such as installing a vacuum pump in addition to the existing steam trap is required.

What is the stall phenomenon?

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 not only discharging condensate 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.
