AUTOMATIC PUMP AND STEAM TRAP

ADCAMAT APST
DN40 – DN50
DESCRIPTION
The ADCAMAT APST (Automatic Pump and Steam
Trap) fabricated in carbon steel or stainless steel is
specially recommended where a stall condition may
occur due to poor steam trap condensate discharge,
caused by temporary insufficient differential pressure.
The equipment has the features of a float steam trap,
combined with a pressure operated pump, in the same
unit.
Whenever the steam trap function it’s not enough to
drain the condensate, the pump function is activated
(using external steam pressure) before water logging
may occur, lifting the condensate to the condensate
return system, avoiding water hammer and consequent
noise and equipment damage , corrosion, unstable
temperature control, etc,
Connections are flanged
FUNCTION
During the start-up, the pump ball float mechanism is in the closed position (bottom position) and the motive steam
valve is closed, while the vent line is open.
The steam trap mechanism is at this stage modulating the condensate flow as it increases, but if the differential
pressure decreases and the condensate level goes up , the pump mechanism starts to work and at the upper level
the steam motive valve opens , closing at the same time the vent valve and consequently pressing the condensate
to the outlet through the steam trap mechanism.
After the pump cycle, if the necessary differential pressure is available again the steam trap will restart the
operation, otherwise the pump option will remain active.
