Thermodynamic Steam Trap FMTD

Steam mainlines require traps in large numbers. The traps should be able to handle startup as well as running loads with a minimum radiation loss.

Forbes Marshall Thermodynamic steam traps are the most widely used and best suited for mainline trapping applications as they satisfy these two needs of the mainline trapping.

Forbes Marshall Thermodynamic steam traps ensure quick condensate removal and keep a check on water hammer and other condensate related issues. Their compact size ensures that radiation losses taking place through the trap body are minimised. They are robust, efficient and maintenance free. The only moving part in the trap is a disc.

  • Available in a wide range of sizes and end connections for installation flexibility.
  • Available with anti-air binding disc on demand.
  • Available for all pressure range.
  • The Seat of the trap is hardened by Induction Hardening Process for uniform hardness that ensures longer service life
  • Ensures quick removal of condensate thereby reducing the chance of water hammer in the system
  • Handles large amount of condensate with compact design which minimizes the radiation loss across the surface area of trap

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Aren't Thermodynamic steam traps noisy?

    If you are using Thermodynamic steam traps on high-pressure lines, they might get noisy but the issue can be fixed by using a simple diffuser.

    What makes Thermodynamic steam trap ideal for mainlines?

    On mainlines, the number of traps require dis very high. Using unnecessarily large steam traps on mainlines leads to high radiation losses. Thermodynamic traps minimise the radiation losses as they are very compact in size.
