GESTRA MK

Description

Thermostatic steam traps for removing condensate from steam or for venting steam pipes

A distinguishing feature of the MK series is the outstanding responsiveness of the membrane regulator. It is especially suitable for heat exchangers whose operation is adversely affected even by minimal banking-up of condensate.

Highly responsive steam trap for draining heating processes.

Especially recommended for use in:

• Saturated steam pipes
• Trace heaters
• Heating coils
• Air heaters
• Steam roller presses/iron presses
• Tyre presses

Moreover, the MK series is ideal for use as an extremely fast-acting air vent.

Tecnical description

• Very sensitive response characteristic
• Function is not impaired by high back pressure
• Automatic air-venting (trap can be used for thermal air-venting in steam systems)
• Installation in any position (horizontal and vertical lines)
• High hot-water capacities even with low differential pressures
• With tandem seat (double sealing) for low condensate flowrates
• Built-in non-return valve (only MK 45)
• Stainless steel internals (corrugated membrane of Hastelloy)
• Design “U” with undercooling capsule: utilization of a certain amount of sensible heat by banking-up of condensate, decreasing the amount of flash steam
• Optional extra: Integrated condensate monitoring for MK 45 (temperature or steam loss)
