GESTRA Program for Universal Connections The Smart Solutions
GESTRA a smart solution for your convenience With a background of more than years in the steam trap business, GESTRA has alays aimed at turning experience into reliable energy-saving products providing optimum service quality. Amongst the many inventions GESTRA has given the market, the RHOMBUSline steam traps represent an ideal combination of long-lasting quality and maximum serviceability in a standard-connection steam trap. With the ne series of steam traps, connectors and trap stations, GESTRA no continues along its path of combining reliability, energy-saving technology and serviceability. Ne options are provided to increase the efficiency of your steam and condensate applications through long service life, energy-saving orking principles, and short dontimes during maintenance. BK A-7 The robust energy-saving solution This bimetallic steam trap series implements a very robust design and is an excellent choice for saturated and superheated applications. A choice of to regulators ith different amounts of undercooling allos you to pick the appropriate solution for your applications. This series is insensitive to ater hammer and features automatic air venting. Unlike other technologies, this bimetallic steam trap can be applied across the entire orking range up to 5 psi / bar.

Program for Universal Connections MK A-7 The fast energy-saving solution This capsule steam trap series is based on a fast acting, intermittent or modulating discharge pattern, hich is an excellent choice for saturated steam applications. Four different capsules, varying in capacity and undercooling allo you to make the best selection for each application. Quick startup and automatic air venting ithout backing up of condensate are outstanding properties of this series of steam traps, hich can be applied across a complete range of differential pressures up to 5 psi / bar.

DK A-7 The popular thermodynamic solution The thermodynamic steam trap relies on a orking principle that is quite popular for saturated and superheated steam applications. Dual insulation prevents the high number of opening cycles often encountered in outdoor applications. Because this type is absolutely unaffected by rain in any outdoor installation, it uses less steam during rainy periods and provides constant operation even in the et season. GESTRA offers the DK A-7 for differential pressures up to 5 psi / bar.

This series type is offered ith four different orifices for differential pressures up to psi/8 bar. Capacity chart and P/T chart see page 7 PMA: 5 psig at 55 F barg at 90 C
Program for Universal Connections Connectors The quality long-term solution Materials TS Stainless steel connectors, made to last a lifetime. GESTRA provides three different makes of connector; the only difference is the convenience level you ish to see in your facility. Regardless of hich type you choose, all three fit every orking principle and are designed to meet Class requirements. Component Body.08 A5-CF8M Strainer.0 Blo-off valve Stuffing box gland.0 Stem.0 This trap station is an ideal combination of all the features necessary for convenient maintenance of all steam trap types. The TS has piston valves ith non-rising handheels that are completely protected against dirt resulting in perfect operation even after years of no usage. The blo-off and test valves make it possible to depressurize the steam trap application, and the colored handheels facilitate closing and opening of the isolating valves in the correct sequence. The trap station is available in flo direction left to right (T5-) or right to left (T5-). UC or UCY As the basis for any universal steam trap application, these connectors are available as a simple connection platform (UC) or already fitted ith a strainer (UCY). Depending on the quality of the condensate and the piping material, you are able to select the appropriate type for your installation.
