riser
A Drain Trap should also
be installed at the bottom
of every riser. The balance
pipe is connected to the
riser so that it will be
downstream of the
drainage point.
Although the traps can be used to drain most liquids form most gases, some applications, particularly those involving
hazardous or unusual fluids, may be subject to regulation or may otherwise require special consideration.
Spirax Sarco will endeavor to provide whatever data is necessary to assist in product selection.
Flashing liquids
The capacity charts are based on single-phase (liquid only) flow. If the
pressure/temperature conditions upstream and downstream of the trap are
such that a portion of the liquid will re-evaporate, or flash as it passes
through the valve, the resulting two-phase (liquid and gas) flow will reduce
the capacity of the trap. If two-phase flow is expected, the safety factor
should be increased by 1-1/2 to 2 times.
Line back-pressure
If the pressure in the return line (the back-pressure) is above atmospheric
at all times, the maximum operating pressure (PMO) of the trap is
increased by the amount of the back-pressure. (But the increased PMO
must never be higher than the PMA the maximum allowable pressure.)
Example:
1.45
If the nameplate PMO is 100 psig, and the back-pressure is always at least
25 psig, the drain trap may be used at a working pressure of up to 125 psig,
provided that the nameplate PMA is at least 125 psig at the operating
temperature. The excess pressure will not hold the valve closed because
the differential pressure is not greater than the nameplate PMO.

Safety factors
Both the amount of liquid to be discharged and the differential pressure
may fluctuate. To ensure continuous drainage during periods of high load
and/or low pressure, the liquid drain trap should be selected to handle the
estimated load times a safety factor of 1.5 at the lowest expected
differential pressure. If the capacity requirements or operating conditions
cannot be predicted accurately, the safety factor should be increased
accordingly. If the maximum peak load and minimum differential pressure
are accurately known, the safety factor may be reduced or eliminated.
