Operating principles and series from TLV

Free-float principle

A freely moving ball seals and lifts when condensate is present – tight even at low load.

Standards-compliant production

CE marking, PED 2014/68/EU. Manufactured for high-pressure and high-temperature applications.

Tests & proofs

100 % final inspection, pressure and leak tests, material certificates. Additional tests for ATEX and FDA-compliant versions.

Condensate pumps CP-N and CP-S

Return of high-temperature condensate to the boiler and condensate tank.

PowerTrap

Mechanical pump with a built-in trap – delivery without electrical energy.

Supply on request

TLV products are not listed in our catalogue but can be sourced through the manufacturer range.

A selection of products

The TLV range at Armaturenfabrik

TLV specialises in steam and condensate technology. We currently list no TLV products in our catalogue – but we can source the range in full. Enquire with the type designation and operating data, and we will check availability and delivery time.

The free-float principle

TLV steam traps work on the free-float principle: a freely moving ball seals the outlet and lifts as soon as condensate is present. The advantage lies in the behaviour at low condensate loads – where other designs begin to blow through, the closure stays tight. Discharge is continuous rather than in surges.

Pressure reducing valvesCOSPECT with a cyclone separator and an integrated free-float trap – reduces the pressure and delivers almost dry steam in a single unit; also available as a small pressure regulator with an integrated dryer
Cyclone separatorsseparators with an integrated steam trap for steam drying
System packagesprefabricated assemblies for steam, condensate and compressed air systems

What is notable about TLV’s approach is the integration of several functions into one unit: the COSPECT combines pressure reduction, separation and condensate removal. That saves face-to-face length and interfaces – but the sizing has to be right, because the functions cannot be readjusted individually.

If you already have TLV in operation

For replacement purchases the type designation from the nameplate is enough for us. Alternatively we will check whether a series from our listed range – from Gestra, Spirax Sarco or Mankenberg, for example – also covers the application. We make that comparison independently of manufacturer.

FAQs

Can TLV products be customized?

Yes, we offer modifications such as special materials, automation and special connections.

For energy, food, chemical and industrial plants.

Yes – TLV offers prefabricated system packages for steam, condensate and compressed air systems.

We first review the operating data, materials and connection dimensions, then select the appropriate version from the TLV range. On request we add accessories and documentation.

Because of the high reliability, quality and specialization in steam technology – and our experience as a partner.
