4.Trouble Shooting
2)Over pressure
A)Check operating conditions reduce inlet pressure or change
Valve(6) and Valve Seat(5) to higher pressure.
3)Plugged Strainer
A)Disassemble Body Plug(3) and clean the strainer Screen(17)
4)Plugged air vent.
A)Disassemble Cover(2) clean the air vent on the Bucket(9).
B)To prevent further clogging scrabble wire can be installed.
5)Plugged orifice on Valve Seat(5).
A)Disassemble Cover(2) clean the orifice on the Valve Seat(5).
6)Bucket out of place with valve closed.
A)Disassemble Cover(2) install Bucket(9) in correct place.
1)No condensate coming to the trap.
A)Leaking by-pass-valve or flanges upstream.
B)For cylinder dryers, broken or damaged siphon tubing.
C)Vacuum created on the upstream piping.
Install vacuum breaker upstream.
A)Out ESH Series has self-priming effect. If normal amount
on condensate flows into the trap it will self-prime.
B)Close the upstream val
ve for a few minute and open the
valve gradually.
C)It is not recommended to install inverted bucket on super
heated lines and lines that pressure fluctuates.
2)Scales lodged between Valve(6) and Valve Seat(5).
A)Disassemble Cover(2) clean the Valve(6) and
Seat(5).
3)Worn Parts
Disassemble Cover(2) exchange the Valve(6) and Valve
Seat(5).
4)Bucket out of place with valve opened.
Disassemble Cover(2) install Bucket(9) in correct place.
Check the operating conditions, replace the trap with larger
1)By installing one trap to several lines short circuiting will
occur.
A)Install trap to each line.
2)Steam locking-Cylinder Dryer.
A)Having steam formed inside the si
condensate is made in the cylinder dryer, the trap might
lack capacity.
Replace to another type with larger capacity.
3)Steam locking-Submerged coils, and similar conditions:
A)By not having lift fitting structure steam will come to the
trap even though condensate formed.
Check the upstream piping and install lift fitting.
