Steam Traps suit severe service applications.
Press Release Summary:
Series SH medium- and high-pressure SuperHeat traps virtually eliminate steam losses and associated energy waste. Three-point seating ensures steam-tight seal even under no-load conditions. Thermostatic air vent allows fast start-up. Up to 2285 psig hydraulic shock rating and 0.004 diameter sphericity ensure resistance of float to water hammer. Traps can withstand pressures to 1,500 psi and temperatures to 1050°F. Sealed stainless steel versions are available.

Conquer Superheat!
TLV'S SH Trap Series - for Exceptional Performance in Severe Service High-Pressure/Temperature SuperHeat Applications
o Exceptional reliability even at highest pressures (up to 1500 psi).
o Optional versions available for temperatures up to 1050F.
o Sealed stainless steel versions also available (SS series).
Medium and high-pressure steam traps account for a small percentage of all traps in service but are responsible for more than half of all steam losses. Using conventional traps on SuperHeat services in this pressure range typically leads to significantly shorter service life with excessive steam loss and maintenance. Purpose-built traps for this severe service are required to improve performance.
To solve these problems, TLV created a line of medium and high-pressure SuperHeat (SH) traps which were also developed with the concept of protecting the global environment. The design of TLV's (SuperHeat) SH Trap Series virtually eliminates steam losses and their associated energy waste. The traps are maintainable due to the easily accessible internals which significantly reduce the requirement for replacement of the entire trap. For long service life and reduced maintenance costs, select TLV's energy efficient SH Trap Series!
Additional benefits:
o Recommended for: Turbines, superheated drips, soot blowers, flash pots and thermal drains.
o "Three-point" seating ensures a steam tight seal even under no-load conditions often found in superheated steam systems.
o Constant water seal and unique rotational seating design eliminate concentrated wear to ensure long life.
o Extremely soft near-to-steam temperature discharge for safety and environmental considerations.
o Up to 2285 psig hydraulic shock rating and 0.004 diameters sphericity ensure excellent resistance of the float to water hammer.
o Durable thermostatic air vent for exceptionally fast start-up.
o Built-in strainer for extended trouble-free service.
o Easy, inline access to internals to simplify cleaning and lower maintenance cost.
