Steam Trap suits low temperature heating applications.
Press Release Summary:
Available in ½-1 in. NPT sizes, stainless steel Model LEX3N-TZ includes built-in auger, which removes scale and build-up from valve seat during operation, preventing steam leakage and loss of temperature control. Over-expansion protection prevents damage to bimetal element. Fully adjustable temperature setting from 120-390°F allows Model LEX3N-TZ to be used on steam service, as automatic non-freeze valve, or as high temperature air vent.
Original Press Release:
TLV'S LEX3N-TZ Temperature Control Steam Trap
TLV CORPORATION is pleased to announce the high performance LEX3N-TZ temperature control trap for steam service. The LEX3N-TZ includes a built-in scale removal function, and is ideal for use in tracing applications where low-temperature heating is required. This includes winterization, instrument, and low temperature tracing, freeze control on manifold drains, condensate control on tank coils, and high temperature air venting that allows subcooled condensate. The LEX3N-TZ is prohibited for drip application or high temperature tracing (like sulfur or pthalic anhydride).
Significant advantages of the LEX3N-TZ include:
Scale Removal Capability
o Built-in auger removes scale and build-up from valve seat during operation, preventing steam leakage and loss of temperature control. It is recommended for typical high contamination services (such as copper tracing).
Versatile Design
o Fully adjustable temperature setting (between 120° - 390°F), allows the LEX3N-TZ to be used on steam service, as an automatic non-freeze valve or as a high temperature air vent.
Long Service Life
o Durable, stainless steel construction with over-expansion protection, prevents damage to the bimetal element.
High Energy Efficiency
o Allows for maximum energy utilization of the sensible heat available in hot condensate.
Excellent Serviceability
o Inline repairable design lowers maintenance costs.
TLV's LEX3N-TZ is available in ½" to 1" sizes in NPT connections (SW and Flanged connections available upon request). This exceptional thermostatic trap is in stock and ready for delivery.
