Steam trap BK28

High-pressure thermoregulator with bimetal regulator

Data sheet

Product information

The BK28 is a thermal steam trap with bimetal regulator for use in high-pressure steam systems. It is suitable for the jam-free drainage of condensate and automatic venting in saturated steam, superheated steam and superheating lines. Thanks to its robust design, it is insensitive to water hammers and freezing.

Special features

  • Thermovit® regulator (dual steel) – corrosion-resistant and insensitive to water hammer
  • Automatic venting and integrated non-return valve
  • Installation possible in any position
  • Connection types: flange, butt weld ends, socket weld ends
  • Approval in accordance with the Pressure Equipment Directive, ATEX-compliant
  • For high-pressure applications up to PN100

Variants

  • BK28 Standard version for PN100
  • BK28-ASME for Class 600
  • Options: Inner conduit, protective conduit, special connections

Advantages for your system

  • High pressure and temperature resistance for demanding applications
  • Energy-efficient steam trap without steam losses

Steam traps and plant engineering – Steam traps as system components for SKID units

Armaturenfabrik valves Steam traps, SKID process plants Pipe insulation Angle seat valves and automatic pneumatic control valves

Steam traps are much more than just drainage fittings – they are indispensable functional elements in modern steam, energy and process systems. In SKID systems, they are responsible for the safe, efficient and load-dependent drainage of condensate, thus ensuring trouble-free operation, constant energy efficiency and the protection of sensitive components.


Especially in compact, modular system packages, steam traps must work reliably, handle different pressures and temperatures and be flexibly integrated into any installation situation.
Our steam traps – including thermal versions with diaphragm regulators such as the MK45 from GESTRA – are used as integral system components in SKID and process plant construction and ensure maximum operational reliability even under demanding conditions.
