Steam trap BK28

High-pressure thermoregulator with bimetal regulator

Data sheet

Product information

The BK28 is a thermostatic steam trap with a bimetallic regulator for use in high-pressure steam systems. It is suitable for backup-free condensate discharge and automatic air venting in saturated steam, superheated steam and superheat lines. Thanks to its robust construction it is insensitive to water hammer and freezing.

Special features

  • Thermovit® regulator (duplex steel) – corrosion-resistant and insensitive to water hammer
  • Automatic air venting and an integrated check function
  • Installation possible in any position
  • Connection types: flange, weld end, socket weld
  • Approval to the Pressure Equipment Directive, ATEX compliant
  • For high-pressure applications up to PN100

Versions

  • BK28 standard version for PN100
  • BK28-ASME for Class 600
  • Options: internal liner, protection tube, special connections

Advantages

  • Druckstufe PN 100 bzw. Class 600
  • On the BK28 the strainer screen and check function sit in the body
  • The BK28 can be installed in any position
  • Flange, weld end or socket weld connection

Areas of application

  • High-pressure steam lines up to PN 100
  • Drainage of steam headers and manifolds
  • International projects with Class 600 flanges
  • Installation points with a free choice of position

Selection and installation

The series follows the pressure rating: BK 37 for PN 63, BK 28 for PN 100, BK 29 for PN 160. The permissible operating pressure falls as the temperature rises; at high steam temperatures considerably less than the nominal value remains.

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.
