Can be used where a temperature sensitive medium is being transferred in piping system or held in a storage vessel and standard steam tracing methods may not be adequate to maintain specific product temperatures. Having the ability to adjust the condensate discharge temperature would allow for accurate temperature control of the product being traced. The significant feature of the WT5000 is that the condensate discharge temperature is easily field adjustable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow It Works\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBi-metallic plates of dissimilar metals respond to steam temperature variations, whereby the metals are relaxed at relatively cool conditions (such as start-up) and the trap is open for the discharge of condensate. As temperature nears the preset subcool temperature below saturation, the metals react and expand, closing the trap and preventing the loss of live steam. External field-adjustability of the bi-metal element allows precise control of the condensate discharge temperature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe condensate temperature can be field adjusted as follows:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTo \u003cstrong\u003eINCREASE\u003c\/strong\u003e the temperature, turn the adjuster screw: \u003cstrong\u003eCOUNTERCLOCKWISE\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTo \u003cstrong\u003eDECREASE\u003c\/strong\u003e the temperature, turn the adjuster screw: \u003cstrong\u003eCLOCKWISE\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote:\u003c\/strong\u003e The lower the set temperature, the more condensate will back-up in front of the trap inlet connection.
