We offer Yarway and TLV products to cover the complete range of applications in your process. Please contact your Pan-Pacific Supply application specialist or customer service representative to see how we can help you cut costs and improve reliability.

There are many factors that influence how well a steam trap can do its job getting condensate, air and carbon dioxide out of the steam system as quickly as they accumulate. If it's not matched to the application, sized correctly and installed appropriately, your steam system won’t get maximum value from a trap…no matter how good the trap itself is!

When properly integrated into the system, however, a steam trap will provide:

Minimal steam loss
Long life and dependable operation
Corrosion resistance
Air venting
Carbon dioxide venting
Operation against back pressure
Freedom from dirt problems

Yarway







Repairable

Non-Repairable

Drip and Tracer Type Steam Trap-
Yarway's Drip and Tracer Type Steam Traps provide discharge of condensate from steam line drip, steam tracing, turbine drains, and soot blowers in light to medium processes. They can be repairable or non-repairable.

Process Thermostatic Steam Trap-
Thermostatic traps react to changes in temperature and discriminate very well between steam and cooler non-condensible gases. They can rapidly purge air from a system, especially on cold start ups.
 
DProcess Thermodynamic Type Steam Trap-
Thermodynamic traps are phase detectors - they discriminate between condensate and steam. The primary advantage to thermodynamic in process applications is the hot-running design and responsiveness to load changes.

TLV Steam Traps








The TLV Free Float Steam Trap
TLV Free Float Steam Traps revolutionized fluid control technology. More than 30 years have passed since TLV introduced the free float concept to the steam industry. Since then, TLV’s Free Float Traps and other innovative technologies have enabled users to achieve exceptional performance in facilities worldwide.

The failure of mechanical steam traps is usually related to their number of moving parts. Free Float Traps have only one moving part – the Float. Compared to complex mechanical traps Free Float traps provide fewer failures, longer service life, and increased process efficiency.

The First Choice for Process Efficiency – the Reasons are Simple
The TLV Free Float adjusts quickly to changes in condensate flow, ensuring rapid discharge and maximum process efficiency. It is unaffected by back pressure and is ideal wherever condensate is recovered. The precision ground float provides an infinite number of contact surfaces with the valve seat ensuring little wear and a long reliable life. The reasons to choose a TLV Free Float trap include:
Applications Specialists
Process Efficiency
Energy Conservation
Long Life
Integral Strainer
Improved Air Venting

TLV Thermodyne Steam Traps

Designed for top performance and durability, the Thermodyne effectively drains steam mains, branches, and tracer lines to keep your plant operating at peak efficiency. The following unique features make the TLV Thermodyne trap the world’s most efficient thermodynamic disc steam trap:

Bimetal Air Vent Ring
To reach full operating efficiency air and condensate must be purged from steam lines. Conventional traps must be blown down manually with bypass valves. The bimetal ring vents traps at start-up and prevents air binding without the use of bypass valves.

Jacketed Pressure Chamber
Radiant heat loss can cause no-load actuation which wastes steam and accelerates wear of both the disc and seat. The air or steam jacketed pressure chamber prevents no-load actuation and chattering by insulating the trap from ambient temperatures.

Lapped Disc
Conventional valve discs are round ground or even slit to prevent air binding and waste steam by leaking and no-load actuation. With the bimetal ring, the valve disc can be lapped instead of ground and mirror polished to a high tolerance. The resulting tight seal saves steam and lengthens the operation cycle providing and extended service life.

TLV Balanced Pressure Thermostatic Steam Traps
TLV’s L-Series Thermostatic traps are designed with a patented nickel based alloy steel diaphragm X-element to Fail Open and protect against unwanted condensate accumulation. Although the TLV traps are manufactured with high quality to ensure excellent performance and life… failure of any mechanical device is inevitable and the consequences can be severe. A steam trap can either Fail Open, causing energy loss or Fail Closed, accumulating condensate.

Failing closed can allow condensate back-up into the steam main where it is carried downstream with sever consequences such as water hammer, low process temperatures, and solidification of any product in steam traced line. The Fail Open feature reduces the danger of production or operation losses and provides a safer working environment.

The X-Element internal chamber contains a liquid fill whose saturation temperature is slightly lower than the saturation temperature of water. With rising condensate temperature reaching the trap, the fill evaporates and its resulting internal pressure expands the diaphragms to close the valve. When the condensate temperature cools, the fill condenses and its resulting pressure reduces allowing the diaphragms to contract for the valve to open.

Maintainable steel bodied, thermostatic traps with high air venting capability and light to medium condensate capacity for steam mains, tracing and process equipment. The following features of the TLV thermostatic traps offer excellent performance and longevity:
Patented Fail Open design for critical service performance
Hardened stainless steel valve head and seat for maximum life
Positive open-close operation reduces valve wear
Pressure to close valve design increases longevity
Valve, triple diaphragms and casing have matching contours for high superheat capability and water hammer resistance
Large screen area promotes trouble free service
Self draining for freeze protection in vertical installations
Flat mirror-finish valve head provides tightest sealing for energy efficiency
Compact and capable of self-adjusting to wide flow variations
Cleanable and in-line repairable design lowers maintenance costs

TLV Regulators and Control Valves

Reducing Valves had remained essentially unchanged for decades – conventional designs seemed good enough. But manufacturers increasingly demanded more effective process control for improved product quality. TLV responded with a remarkable innovation – COSPECT – a Three-in-One Design – Pressure Regulator, Separator, and Steam Trap all in one.

The wide variation in primary pressure in conventional valves causes the secondary pressure to drift – this drift then produces temperature variations that can generate inconsistent product quality. Three COSPECT design breakthroughs provide dry saturated steam at a constant pressure and temperature for improved product consistency and quality.

COSPECT Three-in-One Design Breakthrough

SAS – Patented Shock Absorbing Spherical Piston delivers stable secondary pressure
SCE – Super Cyclonical Effects Separator provides dry saturated secondary steam by effectively removing condensate and scale with a
  98% separation efficiency extending the service life of the valve
SST – Super Steam Trap continuous discharge trap instantly removes separated condensate and provides for a seal-tight shut-off even
  under no-load conditions

The technologically advanced COSPECT provides accurate control and steam conditioning to maximize process steam system performance. TLV offers additional pressure reducing valves, automatic multi-control valves and multi-controllers to address your various process applications.

TLV Cyclone Separator Traps

The TLV cyclone separator traps remove condensate entrained in steam and air with 98% efficiency. These traps feature the combination of a super cyclone-effect separator with a free Float trap and can deliver high quality air or steam up to a 99.8% dryness. The traps are available in various sizes and models to accommodate your various steam and air applications. The cyclone separators are also available separately and can be used for steam, air and other gas streams.
