Yoshitake TB-5 Inverted Bucket Steam Trap, 1.0 MPa, Ductile Cast Iron

Yoshitake TB-5 inverted bucket steam trap features a ductile cast iron body, all-stainless steel internal parts, and handles pressures up to 1.0 MPa at 220°C.

Yoshitake TB-5 Inverted Bucket Steam Trap, 1.0 MPa, Ductile Cast Iron

Yoshitake TB-5 is a high-performance inverted bucket steam trap featuring a ductile cast iron body and a unique internal structure with a free-floating lever system. Designed for durability and reliable performance, all internal components are constructed from stainless steel. It effectively removes the air adiabatic wall in heat exchangers through intermittent operation, thereby significantly increasing heat efficiency and offering superior energy saving.

Features

  1. Excellent durability ensured by unique internal structure (free floating lever system, spherical valve, etc).
  2. Reliable performance due to all stainless steel made internal parts and the unique internal structure.
  3. Superior energy saving since intermittent operations removes air adiabatic wall in the heat exchanger and increases heat efficiency considerably.
  4. Distinguished scale resistance provided by built-in strainer and dual separation system.
  5. Wide variety of options, including large vent and built-in type check valve.

Discharge Capacity

The charts below show the discharge capacity of saturated condensate in actual operation.

Capacity Selection Note

The discharge capacity shown here is a continuous discharge capacity at the indicated differential pressure. In general, select a steam trap with a safety factor twice or threefold the regular level. The circled values are maximum working differential pressures (kgf/cm²). Values in white circles represent a standard product, and those in a green circle denote a custom-made product.
