Ball float steam traps

Spirax Sarco FT ball float steam traps operate on the density difference between steam and condensate. They handle changing condensate loads efficiently and are largely unaffected by sudden pressure changes. For their size, these traps offer very high discharge capacities, up to 150,000 kg/h, and discharge condensate continuously as it is formed. That makes them especially well suited to steam process control equipment. The range is compact, works efficiently at both high and low condensate loads, includes integral air venting as standard and can be supplied with steam lock release devices where required. That continuous drainage behaviour makes ball float traps a common choice where condensate backup would directly affect heat transfer, temperature stability or process quality. They are therefore a strong fit for heat exchangers and process plant where stable condensate removal directly affects output quality.
