The Gestra Ball Float Steam Trap BSP addresses this directly, automatically draining condensate from industrial steam systems, compressed air lines, and gaseous mixtures, all without allowing live steam to escape.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt the heart of this trap is a rolling ball valve mechanism that operates with minimal friction. As condensate accumulates, the floating ball opens to release it; as the liquid drains, it seals tightly to prevent live steam loss. This precision driven action not only protects energy efficiency but also significantly reduces internal wear, extending the operational lifespan of the trap well beyond conventional alternatives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA built in thermostatic element adds another layer of intelligence to the system. During plant start up and throughout normal operation, it automatically purges air and non-condensable gases, keeping heating processes running at peak efficiency without manual intervention.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for demanding industrial environments, the Gestra BSP is a robust, high-pressure unit built to perform reliably in heat exchangers, drying cylinders, and process vessels. And when maintenance is required, there's no need to unbolt the main body from the pipeline, the internal control unit can be replaced quickly in-line, minimising disruption to your operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSummary: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUsed to automatically drain condensate from industrial steam systems, compressed air lines, and other gaseous mixtures without letting live steam escape\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRobust, high pressure version equipped with a rolling ball valve and a thermostatic air vent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe built-in thermostatic element automatically purges air and non-condensable gases during plant start-up and operation, maximising heating efficiency\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe floating ball mechanism opens as condensate accumulates and closes tightly as the liquid drains, preventing costly live steam loss\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe rolling ball valve creates minimal friction, reducing wear and extending the lifespan of the trap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe internal control unit can be replaced quickly in-line without unbolting the main body from the pipeline\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eApplications: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTypically used in applications like;\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeat exchangers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrying cylinders, and\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProcess vessels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Flocon","offers":[{"title":"1\"","offer_id":58657099841920,"sku":"122.025.UNA14HD0425R","price":762.93,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0524\/4531\/5228\/files\/Gestra_20ball_20float_20_20steam_20trap_122.025.UNA14HD0425R.jpg?v=1785984033","url":"https:\/\/www.flocon.co.uk\/products\/gestra-ball-float-steam-trap-bsp","provider":"Flocon Valves Pipes \u0026 Fittings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
