Designed to provide reliable and stable long-term operation, the new J6S-X range of steam traps from Cheltenham-based steam specialist TLV Euro Engineering have been sized to complement the company’s existing J series range of traps.

The CF8-grade stainless-steel J6S-X steam traps also feature thermostatic air venting, which operates using the temperature difference between steam and air. Its combination of precision-ground float, constant water seal ensures a steam tight seal, even under no-load conditions.

TLV’s J6S-X free-float steam traps can be installed on a variety of equipment that uses steam as a heat source, where they provide continuous, smooth, relatively low-velocity condensate discharge as loads vary. The patented self-modulating design also only features a single moving part – the free float – which prevents concentrated wear and provides a long, low maintenance life. In addition to its compact size and larger condensate discharge capacities, J6S-X steam traps are also equipped with an “X-element” to provide a powerful, automatic air vent function.

Stainless steel construction makes the J6S-X ideal for specifications requiring extremely high levels of durability and corrosion resistance. An in-built screen with a large surface area and PTFE gaskets ensure that the free-float steam trap delivers extended trouble-free operation, while easy inline access to internal parts simplifies cleaning and reduces maintenance downtime.

Maximum operating temperature for the J6S-X range is 220 degrees Centigrade; and flow and pressure specifications for the 1” BSP model are 2500 kg/h at 4.5 barg ΔP, 2000 kg/h at 10 barg ΔP and 1600 kg/h at 14 barg ΔP, making the J6S-X range easily and directly interchangeable with most comparable sized steam traps.
