Installation Procedure
Figure on previous page is a simplified flow sketch. For the devices such as control
valves, steam traps etc. that are not directly related to the system package, refer to
the instruction manual for each product regarding installation. Installation, inspection,
maintenance, repairs, disassembly, adjustment and valve opening/closing should be
carried out only by trained maintenance personnel.
(1) Pumped Medium:
•Fluids that can be discharged through the PowerTrap are limited to steam
condensate and water. PowerTraps that have been specially constructed for
other specific fluids are not limited by this restriction.
(2) Motive Medium Supply Piping [Sm]:
•The size of the motive medium supply pipe should be the same size as the
system package motive medium supply pipe connection.
•Motive medium inlet pressure should not exceed 1.05 MPaG (150 psig, 10.5
barg).
•Steam, compressed air, or nitrogen may be used as the motive medium.
•When the motive medium is steam, if the application will require that the
equipment be shut down (non-operating) for periods of 2 months or longer,
install a drip leg on the motive medium supply line, and a steam trap [St] on the
drip leg. The outlet pipe from the steam trap [St] may be connected to the
exhaust pipe [Se] close to where it connects to the condensate receiver.
This measure is not necessary when the motive medium is compressed air or
nitrogen.
(3)Pressure Reducing Valve on the Motive Medium Supply Piping [Rm]:
•When the supply pressure of the motive medium is greater than 1.05 MPaG
(150 psig, 10.5 barg), install a TLV COSPECT Series pressure reducing valve.
Make sure that the motive medium pressure is lower than the maximum
operating pressure of the PowerTrap. Use good piping practices when
selecting the installation location for COSPECT.
In this case, be sure to install a safety valve between the pressure reducing
valve and the PowerTrap.
•When the motive medium pressure is less than 1.05 MPaG (150 psig, 10.5
barg), if a pressure reducing valve is to be installed to slow the speed of the flow,
the installation of a safety valve is not required.
•Install the pressure reducing valve as far away from the PowerTrap as
possible.
When the motive medium pressure is less than 0.5 MPaG (72.5 psig, 5 barg): at
least 3 m (10 ft).
When the motive medium pressure is 0.5 MPaG or greater (72.5 psig or greater,
5 barg or greater): at least 3 m + 1 m (10 ft + 3 ft) for every 0.1 MPaG (4.5 psig,
1 barg) over 0.5 MPaG (72.5 psig, 5 barg).
•The pressure setting on the pressure reducing valve should be between 0.05
and 0.15 MPa (7 – 20 psi, 0.5 – 1.5 bar) higher than the back pressure.
When the discharge capacity of the PowerTrap is insufficient for the set
motive pressure, increase this set pressure even further.

172-65510MA-05 (GP Series System Package) 27 Dec 2016
10
(4)Exhaust Piping [Se]:
•Unless problems occur, leave the exhaust pipe connected to the condensate
receiver as designed.
•When steam is not used as the motive medium, steam clouds (flash steam)
may come out from the vent pipe [Sv]. In this case it is possible to disconnect
the exhaust line from the condensate receiver.
If the exhaust line has to discharge to atmosphere, a sound level of
approximately 90 – 100 dB may be emitted from the exhaust pipe discharge
outlet for two to three seconds. If soundproofing measures are necessary,
install a silencer. (If the exhaust line is connected to the condensate receiver,
the sound level will be below 60 dB.)
(5)Condensate Inlet Piping [Si]:
•Condensate Inlet Pipe [Si] should be as short and straight as possible so that
condensate naturally flows down into the PowerTrap.
•Install a 40-mesh or finer strainer [Ki] on the PowerTrap condensate inlet pipe.
The installation should be in a location that allows sufficient space for
maintenance of the strainer.
•Install a valve [V] and a bypass valve [Vb] on the condensate inlet pipe. This
allows operation of the equipment while carrying out maintenance work if the
PowerTrap is malfunctioning or needs maintenance. Use a gate valve for
valve [V] and a globe valve for the bypass valve [Vb].
(6)Condensate Outlet Piping [So], Condensate Recovery Line [Sr]:
•The flow velocity in the pipe should be considered when determining the pipe
size.
Condensate in the PowerTrap is discharged by the motive medium supply
pressure. The instantaneous flow through the condensate outlet pipe during the
discharge operation is between 2 and 40 metric tonnes (530 and 10,600 U.S.
gal) per hour.
The instantaneous discharge amount should be considered when determining
the outlet pipe diameter. For each system package, motive medium supply
pressure and back pressure instantaneous discharge amount, contact . If
you have the "PowerTrap Design & Data Sheet", installed piping should be the
size recommended by TLV.

172-65510MA-05 (GP Series System Package) 27 Dec 2016
11
(7)Vent Pipe [Sv] and Overflow Pipe [Sf]:
•Be sure to install a vent pipe and an overflow pipe. Failure to install an
overflow pipe is dangerous, as condensate may spurt from the vent pipe
and could result in burns and other injuries.
•Pipe the vent pipe and the overflow pipe to a safe place such as a pit.
•Piping size of the overflow pipe should be the same or larger than
condensate inlet pipe.

The flow velocity in the pipe should be considered when determining the pipe
size.
1) If flash steam can be discharged from overflow pipe
Install overflow pipe and vent pipe separately.
2) If flash steam should not be released from overflow pipe (prevent flash
steam release)
Install overflow pipe and vent pipe separately. For overflow pipe, install loop
seal (approx. 300 mm (12 in)). Flash steam release from overflow pipe can
be prevented since water always accumulates at loop seal. Piping size
should be the same or larger than condensate inlet pipe.
NOTE: • There is a possibility of rust becoming clogged and/or corrosion
since water always present in the loop seal; the possibility is greater
if the piping diameter is too small (generally 25 mm (1 in) or smaller)
• If the loop seal becomes clogged, hot overflow water will blow from
vent pipe; make sure to install vent pipe to lead to a safe place
• Do not install loop seal on the vent pipe
Contact TLV if neither 1) nor 2) above can be installed.

• Model: GP10L-1AJ
Unlike other models, the GP10L-1AJ has an outlet port for the dual installation of
the overflow pipe and vent pipe. When installing the piping, connect the piping to
the flange on the top of the condensate receiver, and then install the overflow
pipe and vent pipe by separating each pipe as shown below.
Observe the same precautions as for other models for installation.

Vent Pipe
(8)Check Valve to Prevent Return Water Hammer ①:
If length "A" in the following figure (from the PowerTrap to a rise in the piping) is
longer than 30 m (100 ft), return water hammer may occur in the piping after a
discharge cycle finishes. To prevent this, installation of a spring-return type check
valve just above the rise is recommended.
(9)Check Valve to Prevent Backflow Water Hammer ②:
If length "B" in the following figure is longer than 500 mm (1911/16 in) and steam
(including flash steam) enters the condensate recovery line, backflow water
hammer may occur in the piping. To prevent this, installation of a spring-return
type check valve close to the condensate recovery line is recommended.

Operation and Periodic Inspection
•After all piping work has been completed in accordance with the
specific piping system designed when the decision to utilize the
PowerTrap System Package was made, check once again to make sure
that all pipe connections have been tightened, gaskets have been
inserted where needed and all parts are securely installed.
•During commissioning and test runs, as well as during start-up of normal
operation, take measures to prevent people from coming into direct
contact with vent and overflow outlets. At the start-up of operation, large
quantities of condensate may flow, causing the Power Trap System
Package to momentarily overload. If this occurs, hot Condensate may
spurt from the pipe connections, the vent piping or overflow piping and
could result in burns, other injuries or damage to equipment.
WARNING
When disassembling or removing the product, wait until the internal
pressure equals atmospheric pressure and the surface of the product
has cooled to room temperature. Disassembling or removing the
product when it is hot or under pressure may lead to discharge of fluids,
causing burns, other injuries or damage.
CAUTION
During maintenance/disassembly all connections, piping and bolts should
be removed slowly to prevent fluids from spurting due to the release of
retained internal pressure. Failure to do so may result in burns or other
injury with the discharge of fluids.
CAUTION
Install properly and DO NOT use this product outside the recommended
operating pressure, temperature and other specification ranges.
Improper use may result in such hazards as damage to the product or
malfunctions which may lead to serious accidents. Local regulations
may restrict the use of this product to below the conditions quoted.
CAUTION
Be sure to use only the recommended components when repairing the
product, and NEVER attempt to modify the product in any way. Failure to
observe these precautions may result in damage to the product or burns
or other injury due to malfunction or the discharge of fluids.
CAUTION
Installation, inspection, maintenance, repairs, disassembly, adjustment and valve
opening/closing should be carried out only by trained maintenance personnel.
Operation
(1) Valve Operation
Refer to the drawings in "Installation" on page 8 to become familiar with the
symbols used for the various valves.
If water hammer has occurred, immediately cease operation and close any valves
that are operating.
a) Drain condensate in the condensate receiver by opening the condensate blow
valve [Vt], making sure the condensate blow valve [Vt] is piped to a safe area.
If the condensate receiver is filled up with condensate, condensate may spurt
from the vent pipe [Sv] during PowerTrap exhaust.
Make sure to close the condensate blow valve [Vt] after condensate is
drained.
b) Slowly open the exhaust valve [Ve].
c) Slowly open the valve [Vm] on the motive medium supply pipe. Make sure that
there is no sound of flow from the exhaust pipe [Se] or the check valve [Ci] on
the condensate inlet pipe.
d) Slowly open the valve [Vo] on the condensate outlet pipe.

172-65510MA-05 (GP Series System Package) 27 Dec 2016
16
e) Slowly open the valve [Vi] on the condensate inlet pipe.
The PowerTrap is normal if it operates intermittently; first exhausting the
motive medium to fill with condensate, and then taking in motive medium to
force the condensate out.
•The interval of operation will vary greatly depending on the amount of condensate
inflow, the temperature, the motive medium (steam or gas) and the motive
pressure. The interval of operation is considered to be the length of time between
the start of one discharge cycle and the start of the next discharge cycle.
•The interval of operation Tc (s) can be roughly determined using the following
formula:
GP10L-1AJ: Tc = 21,600/Q Tc = 47,600/Qp
GP14L-1AJ: Tc = 28,800/Q Tc = 63,500/Qp
GP14M-1BJ: Tc = 45,000/Q Tc = 99,200/Qp
GP10-1CJ/GP10-2FJ: Tc = 108,000/Q Tc = 238,000/Qp
Q : amount of inflowing condensate (kg/h)
Qp: amount of inflowing condensate (lb/h)
•The GP10L, GP14L, GP14M and GP10 condensate discharge capacity for each
discharge operation is listed below. The amount of time required for each
discharge operation will be between 3 and 30 seconds, depending on the back
pressure and the motive medium pressure.
GP10L-1AJ: approx. 6 liters (1.6 U.S. gal)
GP14L-1AJ: approx. 8 liters (2.1 U.S. gal)
GP14M-1AJ: approx. 12.5 liters (3.3 U.S. gal)
GP10-1CJ/GP10-2FJ*: approx. 30 liters (8 U.S. gal)
*Value per GP10
(2) If an error such as a leak or water hammer occurs after beginning operation of the
system package, shut off the valves immediately in the following order:
valve [Vm] on the motive medium supply pipe →valve [Vi] on the condensate inlet
pipe →valve [Vo] on the condensate outlet pipe →valve [Ve] on the exhaust pipe.

Periodic Inspection and Diagnosis
There are two types of periodic inspection: the visual inspection and the disassembly
inspection.
(1)Visual Inspection
•As a general rule, this inspection should be performed at least once every 3 months.
•Check the following items:
a) There should be no leakage from the PowerTrap or from any of the
connections.
b) The PowerTrap unit should be operating cyclically (one indication being the
sharp, mechanical sound of the snap-action unit operating at the transition
between the filling and the discharge parts of the cycle). Immediately after
the end of the discharge part of the cycle and during the filling part of the
cycle, the sound of flow in the exhaust pipe should be heard. During the
pumping (discharge) part of the cycle, flow in the motive medium supply pipe
should be heard.
c) Condensate should not accumulate in the steam-using equipment, and the
temperature of the equipment should not be abnormally low.
d) There should be no condensate overflow from the overflow pipe or vent pipes.
e) There should be no continuous steam discharge through the vent pipe (it is
normal for the PowerTrap to release retained steam from the vent pipe after
motive steam forces the condensate discharge.)
f) There should not be any abnormal noise such as water hammer from the
condensate outlet pipe or the condensate recovery line while the
PowerTrap operates.
(2)Disassembly Inspection
•Only the PowerTrap unit(s) and check valves need disassembly inspection.
For the disassembly inspection, refer to the corresponding product’s instruction
manual.
