The PowerTrap family prevents heat
exchanger stall
TLV is pleased to announce the newest addition to the PowerTrap family, the GT5C, a compact mechanical pump with steam trap designed to eliminate stall
The TLV PowerTrap series helps prevent heat exchanger stall when process steam pressure drops below system back pressure Members of the PowerTrap family help provide stable temperature control, prevent water hammer, and reduce maintenance costs due to damage or corroded tube bundles

Robot programming time reduced from weeks to days
ABB, the global power and automation technologies group, introduces TeachSaver, a new software product that can dramatically reduce robot-programming time from weeks to days - or even hours
They also provide effective condensate recovery, reducing boiler fuel costs due to energy recovery, reducing water treatment costs due to recovered water, and reducing effluent treatment and disposal costs.
The PowerTrap benefits are summarised as:.
* Handles high-temperature condensate without cavitation.
* No electric power or additional level controls required, hence it can be regarded as intrinsically safe.
* Extremely low 6inch filling head.
* Simplified piping (no exhaust pipe required) and linear inlet/outlet greatly reduce installation time.
* Easy, inline access to internal parts simplifies cleaning and reduces maintenance costs.
* High-quality stainless steel internals and hardened working surfaces ensure reliability.
* Compact design permits installation in a compact space.
Major current applications are:.
* Multi-bank steam air heaters.
* Air handling units, air fan heaters.
* Small heat exchangers with widely fluctuating loads.
* Heaters with brazing that might be damaged by stall conditions.
* Equipment in which waterhammer can be heard.
The PowerTrap GT5C is an incredibly compact mechanical pump with a steam trap to discharge condensate not only when pressure inside the equipment is high, but also pumping out condensate by using steam as a motive medium when the pressure inside the equipment is low.
The GT5C also enables simplified piping in comparison to existing mechanical pumps.
