FAQ's of SPIRAX Marshall Steam Trap - UTD3:
Q: How does the SPIRAX Marshall UTD3 steam trap function in a steam distribution system?
A: The UTD3 utilizes thermodynamic principles to separate and discharge condensate from steam lines, improving system efficiency and preventing water hammer or damage to equipment by ensuring only dry steam progresses through the system.
Q: What are the typical applications of the UTD3 steam trap?
A: This steam trap is engineered for steam distribution systems within process industries, where it reliably removes condensate from steam lines, maintaining optimal performance in systems such as heating, tracing, and process steam utilization.
Q: When should the internal components of the UTD3 trap be replaced?
A: Replaceable internals allow for maintenance when a drop in performance is observed, typically indicated by incomplete condensate discharge or leakage of live steam. This may vary depending on usage patterns and steam quality, but regular inspection is recommended.
Q: Where can the UTD3 steam trap be installed?
A: The trap is best installed in a horizontal position in steam pipelines. Its compact shape and various connection options enable installation in both new and retrofitted systems, accommodating pipe sizes between 15mm and 25mm.
Q: What benefits does the UTD3 offer for process industries?
A: The UTD3's robust construction, wide pressure and temperature ratings, and easy-maintenance design ensure reliable condensate removal, minimize steam losses, and help maintain overall plant safety and energy efficiency.
Q: How do you select the correct orifice size for the UTD3 steam trap?
A: Orifice size selection (2 mm or 3 mm) depends on the desired discharge capacity, which is influenced by system pressure and condensate load. Sizing should be performed based on operating conditions to ensure optimal performance.
Q: What is the warranty period for the UTD3 steam trap and what does it cover?
A: The product carries a 12-month warranty, covering manufacturing defects and faulty materials under standard operating conditions.
