Armstrong steam trap, inverted bucket traps 881 Armstrong 881 traps for steam mains, hospital disinfection, concentration device, cylinder dryers, air drying machine, vulcanizing machine, heat exchanger , sub-cylinder, distillation and so on. Ultra-compact, lightweight 880 Series inverted bucket traps sound ideal for dyeing machines, washing machines, air conditioners and the like. 880 stainless steel bucket steam traps designed for hospital equipment, food industry and manufacturing. Trap testing is to extend its life and saving steam trap size, operating pressure and importance throughout the process will determine the inspection cycle and frequency. So we should establish routine test methods and maintenance procedures set traps. Armstrong 881 Notes ⑴ condensate trap emissions and disk-type inverted bucket traps are intermittently discharge condensate. Float type is continuously discharged, hot static type depending on the load may be continuous or may be intermittent emissions. When the inverted bucket trap minimal load at the right time, because the trickle-down effect will continuously discharge condensate. This way of working in such conditions is normal. ⑵ flash steam do not be mistaken by the flash steam trap leaking steam. Pressurized water condensation heat contained in the heat of condensation water pressure than a large number. When the condensation water is discharged at the right time, these excess calories will make some secondary evaporation condensate. How to identify the flash steam: Trap users sometimes confuse what is flash steam, what is leaking steam. Consider the following exception: If a continuous spray of steam, a "blue" steam is leaking steam. If the steam is interrupted, "Gone with the Wind" came out (Whenever traps discharge condensate), the formation of white mist that then, is the flash steam. Armstrong trap 881 is currently the most reliable steam trap known to virtually all hydrophobic efficient steam delivery lines, heating pipes and steam equipment. Inverted bucket long-term stable and reliable work in cast iron housing, both to reduce maintenance costs, and energy saving steam. Armstrong trap 881 unique gravity bucket zoom lever mechanism, so as to open the valve against system pressure valve. The mechanism is free-floating and has no fixed pivots to create wear and tear. Since the valves and valve seat located at the top of the valve body, no dirt in the valve hole. Small particles of dirt in the valve is in a suspended state, when the bucket sinks, pulling open the valve hole, impurities will be under pressure with the condensate in the role out of the body quickly. 880 series of built-in filters to further improve the reliability of the traps work and extend its service life. Armstrong 881 The discharge orifice is surrounded by a water seal, which prevents live steam loss. Vent hole in the bucket, which provides continuous automatic air and CO2 emissions and other non-condensable gases in the steam temperature. Despite the inverted bucket steam trap operation is interrupted, but the condensate discharge is continuous, there is no accumulation of condensate problem. Meanwhile inverted bucket traps can hit the water. American Armstrong invented the world's by far the most energy-efficient inverted bucket traps, and since then has been dedicated to product design and functionality of continuous innovation and improvement, access to the steam / air / water systems of a number of product patents for the user to save countless energy, time and money. Armstrong manuals embody the experience and knowledge we have accumulated over the years, it has been widely accepted as the industry standard.
