More energy efficient steam systems are the promise of the STS17.2 steam trapping station, launched by Spirax Sarco in an expansion of its Quick-Fit range.
The station comprises isolation valves, steam trap connector with strainer and a check valve in a modular body, supported by a 10-year warranty.
The single-piece body reduces problems with conventional welded or screwed devices and virtually eliminates leak paths.
Spirax Sarco also says that no other components need to be specified or purchased, eliminating the time, cost and inconvenience of selecting, sizing, building and installing a traditional steam trapping station.
The new trapping station is suitable for clean steam and filtered applications such as hospital sterilisers, dairy production, food and beverage processing and some pharmaceutical plants.
It is suitable for all steam main applications up to 10 bar g and DN150 line size.
Other applications can be sized using the appropriate Quick-Fit steam trap selection data and then selecting the same size STS17.2.
