STEAM TRAP
MODEL TSF-10・11

1. Usage of the product
The TSF-10, TSF-10F, TSF-11, and TSF-11F can discharge condensate effectively without retention, and
realize energy saving steam system without steam loss. In addition, incorporated thermostatic air vent
discharges air inside the piping and shortens warming-up time. So, the product is suitable for steam equipments
used in various industries such as air-conditioning equipment, hot-water supply equipment, plant, and food.
2. Features
1. With turning the cock, it is possible to meet all flow directions (360 degrees) including horizontal or vertical
installation. Flow direction can be switched easily without disassembly such as detaching the cover.
2. Since the main parts are installed on the cover and it is possible to disassemble the cover with the body
installed on the piping, inspection and parts replacement can be conducted easily.
3. Compared to mechanical steam traps such as conventional float type or bucket type, the lower part
(dimension from the connection to the bottom) of the product is shorter. So, the product can be installed in
a low place such as condensate piping on low-floor equipment.

5. Operation
1.
At start-up, since the float is down, the valve is closed.
In this state, air in the system and piping is discharged
out through the air vent which is opened. When
condensate flows into the product, the float lifts up
and opens the valve, and then discharges
condensate. Air is continuously discharged out from
the air vent.
When steam flows into the product, internal pressure
of the air vent rises by steam temperature, and the air
vent closes. According to the amount of condensate
inflow, the float position moves up and down changing
the opening degree of the valve, and thus condensate
is continuously discharged. The float moves down
and the valve closes when condensate inflow stops.
When air or non-condensable gas flows into the
product, it accumulates in the upper part of the
product. When temperature of air or non-
condensable gas decreases with condensate
inflow, the air vent opens and discharges it to
outside of the product.
Then, operations 2 and 3 repeats according to the
inflow amount of condensate and air.

6. Maximum Continuous Discharge Capacity
1. Discharging capability of the steam trap differs by working differential pressure, that is, difference
between inlet pressure and outlet pressure (back pressure). In selecting discharge capacity,
consider outlet pressure. If inlet pressure is 0.5 MPa and outlet pressure is 0.2 MPa, discharge
capacity is of working differential pressure of 0.3 MPa.
2. The discharge capacity shown in the charts below is the maximum value. In designing a system, select a
steam trap with a sufficient safety factor (two times the regular level). That is, for example, if a discharge
capacity of 500 kg/h is required, select a steam trap capable of discharging more than 1,000 kg/h (maximum
discharge).

7.2 Precaution for installation
Caution
1. Before connecting the product to piping, remove foreign substances and scale from the piping.
* Failure to follow this notice may prevent the product from functioning properly.
* To plumb the product, be careful to keep seal materials from entering into the product.
2. To install the product, check the direction of the product so that the fluid flowing and the arrow marked
on the product are in the same direction.
* Setting the product in wrong directions prevents it from functioning properly.
3.Do not apply excessive load, torque or vibration to the valve.
* Doing so may result in malfunction or drastically shortened service life.

8
4. Check installation posture.
* Wrong posture hampers proper operation.
* Allowable tilt from horizontal line is within ±10°.
5. Adjust direction of the name plate in no pressure condition after installation.
* Do not turn the cock unless the pressure inside of the product and piping is completely discharged.
Forcing the cock to turn may result in damage to the cock.
* Wrong direction hampers proper operation.
* Fix the cock with spanner and loosen the
nut. Turn the cock and adjust direction of the
name plate to position "TOP" and "BOTTOM"
signs on upside and downside respectively.
Fix the cock with spanner and fasten the nut
after adjustment.
* Allowable tilt from vertical line is within ±10°.
6. Make sure to support the piping immovably.
* If an excessive piping stress is applied, the product may not open or close.
7. Do not disassemble the product unless it is necessary.
* Disassembly may prevent the product from functioning properly.

9. Slope the piping and place the product at as a low position as possible in order to make condensate
flow into the product by its own weight.
10. To install the product in a main steam pipe, provide a drip leg at the inlet side of the product.
11. Install a strainer (mesh size of 80 or more is recommended) at the inlet side of the product.
12. Install the product so that it is not subjected to the shock of water hammer. Do not install a quick operating
valve before and/or after the product.
* Failure to follow this notice may result in malfunction due to damage to the float, or may result in scalds
or injury due to blow off when the product is subjected to an excessive shock and damaged.
13. Install a bypass line.
* The system has to stop operation while inspection and maintenance of the product if the bypass line is
not installed.
