Advantage of UKL Automatic Pumping Trap


UKL APT is a device having the combined features of a conventional steam trap and a pump. On the other hand, when it comes under stalling conditions when the delta pressure inside APT drops below 0.5 kg/cm2(g), this APT is automatically switched over to pumping mode.

Advantage  –

  • Increase in heat transfer capacity & thus reduction in process cycle time
  • Appropriate & continuous condensate discharge
  • Avoids water hammer
  • Avoids corrosion due to cool condensate in batch production processes
  • Proper temperature control in process
  • Enhanced equipment life
  • Reducing the hunting effect of the temperature control valve
  • Avoids flashing of hot condensate
  • Nil loss of live steam

Working conditions of APT-

Maximum allowable pressure – 14 kg/cm2
Maximum allowable Temperature – 180 Deg C

SIZE AVAILIBILITY-

1)Inlet 25NB and outlet 25NB
2) Inlet 40NB and outlet 25NB

REQUIRED MOTIVE PRESSURE ON CONTINUOUS BASIS-

Not required, UKL APT needs motive pressure only when the upstream condensing equipment’s comes in a stalling condition

MAINTENANCE  : - 

  • Check water hammering.
  • Check out temperature control in process so that enhanced equipment life
  • Reducing the hunting effect of the temperature control valve
  • Inspecting flashing of hot condensate
  • Check out the heat loss of live steam check out the motive pressure & inlet DCV & Out DCV.
